At a time when society and the market are calling for more personal responsibility, the activity of inspection may seem almost like a relic from a bygone era. However, if undesirable developments with no longer acceptable risks occur in a company or an industry, legislators and market participants immediately demand effective regulations in the form of inspections and certifications. Especially in fire protection, it is of great importance to carry out such controls in the form of inspections on a regular and forward-looking basis.<\/p>\n
Type and scope of inspection<\/strong> <\/p>\n <\/p>\n An inspection is defined as the technical acceptance or periodic inspection of technical fire protection equipment. The Fire Protection Inspection Unit of Swiss Safety Center AG carries out technical inspections and checks in the following areas:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Furthermore, safety devices and emergency controls are also tested integrally.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Swiss Safety Center is also accredited as a type A inspection facility for fire protection systems in accordance with ISO\/IEC 17020. The inspection of fire protection equipment by an accredited body confirms that the facility complies with the specified guidelines.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The actual inspection activity comprises the project assessment on the basis of technical documents (plans, concept, calculations, etc.), the control of the installation on site and the functional check of relevant variables (measurement of quantities, pressures, checking of alarm transmission, etc.) of the respective installation. In fulfilling its mandate, the inspection body is always concerned with two issues:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Inspection depth<\/strong> <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Depending on how these two parameters are chosen, more or less qualified statements can be made about the conformity of a plant. It is at the discretion of the inspection body to determine which test criteria it wishes to use for the assessment of conformity. As a rule, the inspection body will select<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n From a technical point of view, these parameters determine the inspection depth. This also includes the determination of the intervals for follow-up inspections. From an economic point of view, the cost-benefit considerations of the client must also be taken into account.<\/p>\n Non-compliance<\/strong> <\/p>\n <\/p>\n In these cases, the deviations from the regulations must be expertly assessed and weighted. Only a qualified inspection body with the appropriate technical experts is in a position to do this and can guarantee the appropriate and responsible flexibility expected by the market.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In addition to the above-mentioned circumstances, the following requirements are therefore placed on the inspection body in terms of competent recognition and action in questions of inspection depth and conformity deviation:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Benefits for customers<\/strong> In einer Zeit, in der Gesellschaft und Markt nach mehr Eigenverant-wortung rufen, mag die T\u00e4tigkeit der Inspektion fast wie ein Relikt aus einer vergangenen Epoche erscheinen.

\nAs a rule, the following players can be considered as clients of an inspection body for fire protection:<\/p>\n\n

\nAn old experience says that laws are obeyed as much as their observance is controlled. One hundred percent compliance, however, would mean controlling every movement. Such a depth of inspection is neither possible nor reasonable. And yet an inspection body is not infrequently under the unrealistic pressure of expectation to have checked functionality and conformity one hundred percent. However, any economically justifiable inspection must be limited to the following:<\/p>\n\n
\n
\nIn the case of complex systems such as fire protection systems, regulations and codes are designed to regulate the \"normal case\" that occurs in practice. However, a dynamic market often requires special solutions,<\/p>\n\n
\n
\nIn addition to the requirements mentioned here, the other demands and wishes of the market on an inspection body are of course also extremely important. Short distances, fast processing times or efficient reporting are often expressed requirements that the Swiss Safety Center AG fire protection inspection body is happy to fulfil for the benefit of its customers.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
