FSMP: INSPECTING, TESTING, AND MAINTAINING FIRE PROTECTION AND LIFE SAFETY SYSTEMS

See III. above.
Fire protection and life safety systems, equipment, and components are inspected, tested and maintained on schedules in compliance with the highest/most stringent requirements of either the equipment manufacturer recommendations or requirements of state, local and/or accreditation and licensing agencies.

These schedules vary by campus, depending on the specific systems and equipment at the campus. The campus-specific schedules are maintained, implemented and documented by the Maintenance Dept. at that campus.


All battery powered emergency lights required for egress are tested for at least 30 seconds at least every 30 days. At least annually, these lights are tested for at least 90 minutes. (EC.7.40)

All fire and smoke dampers are operated at least every four years, with fusible links removed if applicable, to verify that they fully close.1
