Acceptance of fire safety systems
Fire tests
System validation

Why validate systems before they go into operation?

The trial, testing, and acceptance phase ensures that the installations operate in accordance with project requirements and regulatory obligations before they are officially handed over to the operator.

In particular, it makes possible to:

verify that the systems are actually functioning properly
verify compliance with regulations and standards
test scenarios under conditions that closely resemble real-world conditions
identify and correct any discrepancies
document the acceptance of the installations

This phase is essential for ensuring a safe transition to operational use and minimising future risks.
