Cause & Effects Testing
Verifying your fire alarm system performs exactly as designed
What We Do
We carry out full Cause & Effects Testing to ensure your fire alarm system activates the correct outputs, devices, and programmed responses during an emergency.
This includes testing all programmed sequences such as door releases, smoke vents, fire curtains, plant shutdowns, lift grounding, AOV activation, and phased evacuation logic.
Our engineers follow your building’s Cause & Effect matrix, test every programmed action, and provide a clear digital report showing what passed, what failed, and any remedial recommendations.
This service ensures your building remains safe, compliant, and ready for audit or fire risk assessment.
