Navigating S1001 Enforcement, Documentation and Re-Testing
Presented by Michele Farley from FCS Fire Consulting Services Ltd.
It has been four years since the S1001 – Standard for Integrated Systems became enforceable. Many buildings built with permits taken after June of 2020 are reaching the subsequent 1-year re-test date, some may even be getting close to needing their 5-year re-test. This brings up a lot of questions. Let’s take a look at what that means for Fire Code Enforcement. What should you be looking for? When is the re-testing required? What documentation should the building have? Who should be performing the re-testing? What does the re-testing look like? This session will delve into challenges we’re seeing in the field and answer these pressing questions.
