The <strong>witness test<\/strong> repeats the tests, or a sample of them, in front of the consultant, the owner&#8217;s representative or the authority.<\/p>\n<p>In Saudi Arabia, the Saudi Fire Protection Code SBC 801 applies as part of the Saudi Building Code. Its 2024 edition has been mandatory since 30 June 2025, and the General Directorate of Civil Defense monitors compliance with fire prevention and protection requirements. Detailed test methods usually come from NFPA 72, in the edition set by the project documents or the code&#8217;s referenced standards. A published review of the 2025 edition notes that Chapter 7 requirements for design documents, shop drawings and completion documents apply when a code, specification or contract calls for them, so the project specification should say so explicitly.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-38178b1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"38178b1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Before testing: what must be ready<\/h2>\n<p>Most handover delays come from starting tests before the system is ready.

Refer to the corresponding table in Chapter 14 of the edition adopted for the project for the details of each test. Measured loop resistance is compared with the manufacturer&#8217;s limit for the panel and circuit, as given in the datasheet or installation manual.<\/p>\n<p>Insulation resistance testing with a megger is common practice on projects, but it is done on cables with devices and the panel disconnected, because the test voltage can damage electronics. Record each circuit number, cable type, measured value and the name of the person who tested it.<\/p>\n<p>Once devices are connected, circuit supervision is tested: opening a connection or applying a deliberate short must produce a trouble signal at the panel with the correct location. On addressable loops, each loop isolator is tested with a deliberate short to confirm it isolates only the affected section and keeps the rest of the loop working.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-50e8c5b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"50e8c5b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Stage 2: device-by-device testing<\/h2>\n<p>In an acceptance test every device is tested, not a sample.

The system is then put into alarm on batteries to confirm they carry the full alarm load.<\/p>\n<p>This is also the point to check the approved battery calculation against reality: installed battery capacity, date of manufacture, and actual device loads after any changes in quantity during installation. An Electrical Contractor article gives the NFPA 72 secondary power requirement as 24 hours of standby followed by 5 minutes of alarm, or 15 minutes for voice evacuation systems, plus a safety margin added by the designer.
