BS 5839-1: 2017 Installation & Commissioning Course (two days)

Description

C-TEC’s BS 5839-1 fire detection and alarm system installation and commissioning course provides practical application information on how to comply with both BS 5839-1 and BS 7671 in the context of fire systems and includes the handover and acceptance of systems. Special emphasis is placed on how the engineer can deal with issues not covered by the design of the system and the non-conformities which may arise.
