SANS 10139 Documentation Clause 112:

1121 General
On completion of the system, it needs to be ensured that adequate records and other documentation are provided to the user or purchaser
Particular importance needs to be attached to the preparation and accuracy of "as fitted" drawings, and operation and maintenance manuals
Without these drawings and manuals, maintenance or future modification of the system might be difficult

1122 Recommendations
The following documentation should be provided to the purchaser or user of the system:

• Certificates for design, installation and commissioning of the system (see 113)
• An adequate operation and maintenance manual for the system; should provide information, specific to the system in question, regarding the following:
  • detector type, selection and configuration as documented by the designer
  • the equipment provided and its configuration, including, for radio linked equipment to which 820 applies, the background RF noise level and achieved signal strengths;
  • use of all controls;
  • recommendations for investigation of a fire alarm or fault signal after the incident is over and the building is declared safe for re occupation;
    • NOTE This is not intended to be the emergency or evacuation plan, which is the responsibility of the occupant
  • recommendations for investigation in the event of a false alarm (see clause 9);
  • routine weekly and monthly testing of the system by the user or his/her appointed agent (see 121);
  • service and maintenance of the system per clause 12;
  • avoidance of false alarms (see clause 9);
  • the need to keep a clear space around all fire detectors and manual call points;
  • the need to avoid contamination of detectors during contractors' activities;
  • the importance of ensuring that changes to the building, such as relocation of partitions, do not affect the standard of protection;

  • the positions of all manual call points, fire detectors and fire alarm devices;
  • the positions of all equipment that may require routine attention or replacement (eg short circuit isolators);
  • the type, sizes and actual routes of cables
    • The cable routes shown need to enable a competent person to locate the cable in the event of a fault or need for modification or extension of the system; a simple schematic showing the sequence in which devices are wired is unlikely to satisfy this recommendation
    • In the case of extensions or alterations, existing "as fitted" drawings need to be updated
