Integrated Systems Testing of Fire Protection and Life Safety Systems - ULC-S1001 Standard

After participating in this course, you will be able to:

• develop an awareness of the Canada ULC S1001 Standard governing the requirements for integrated systems testing of fire protection and life safety systems
• recognize the requirements in the National Building Code for new construction sites and the National Fire Code for existing buildings on the maintenance of these systems
• discover the qualifications required for Integrated Testing Coordinators and Participants.
• enhance your knowledge of the requirements for Integrated Testing Plans and Reports in accordance with the ULC Standard
• identify the type of systems that are installed in your building, such as fire alarm systems, sprinkler systems; elevators, emergency generators, etc… that form part of the integrated testing

Description

This webinar provides an overview of the CAN/ULC S1001 Standard, which is required in accordance with the National Building and Fire Codes of Canada.

Engineers and Designers are required to meet this standard when new buildings are constructed in accordance with the Building Code. Building Owners and Property Managers are required to ensure that these requirements are achieved as part of the ongoing maintenance of all buildings as per the National Fire Code.

The Standard provides the methodology for verifying and documenting interconnections between building systems (such as fire alarms, sprinklers, standpipe, fire pumps, smoke control, ventilation, pressurization, fire & smoke dampers, fire shutters, door release, elevators, emergency power, signal transmitting, etc...) to ensure they satisfy the design intent and function as intended by the building code, fire code and this standard.
