Definition of maintenance and servicing Maintenance involves checking and caring for a fire protection system so that it functions for as long as possible without needing to be repaired. Depending on the fire protection system, for example, it is cleaned, adjusted, lubricated or wear parts are replaced. During maintenance, the specialist eliminates defects in the fire protection system so that it functions properly again.

They are liable if maintenance has not been carried out or has not been carried out properly, and people’s lives and the environment have been put at risk, or property has been damaged, for example. If the operator cannot produce a maintenance certificate, then they are in violation of building codes. This could mean that insurance companies won't pay if there’s a fire and the manufacturer could also void the product warranty. Maintenance requirements The Technischen Regeln für Arbeitsstätten (ASR - “Technical Rules for Workplaces”) specify with what and how workplaces should be equipped. Both the applicable standards and the manufacturer specify what must be carried out during maintenance. Carrying it out Maintenance and servicing should therefore only be carried out by authorised and qualified experts. Inspections are carried out by specialists for approval. Here are some definitions: Professionals are people who have completed training and have professional experience Experts are professionals who have completed additional, specialised training in the field. This training is given either by the manufacturer of the fire safety equipment or an accredited inspection authority like DEKRA or the TÜV. Specialists have completed in-depth specialised training, usually as part of a degree, and are recognised under building law. CWS provides specialists to draw up fire safety concepts, as well as inspection specialists to inspect systems according to the technical inspection regulations of the relevant federal state.

Contact us +4961033094050 Maintenance step by step Step 1: We make a digital record of the maintenance steps specified by the manufacturer of the fire safety equipment. Step 2: The CWS on-site fire safety technician follows the steps and documents them directly on their tablet. Step 3: If the maintenance work was successful, the technician updates the servicing label with their registration number, the date and the next maintenance date.

If servicing is required to carry out small repairs and measures, we can usually handle these on site, or we’ll get in touch with you.
