AOV Systems Maintenance

The smoke ventilation system is part of the overall fire safety strategy and under the RRO (Regulatory Reform Order 2005/6) a responsible person must ensure that equipment and devices are maintained in efficient working order and in good repair to safe guard the relevant persons within the building. The building occupants’ safety relies on your regular maintenance of the Automatic Opening Ventilation (A.O.V.) system.

All Intelligent Security and Fire maintenance and servicing conforms to the current regulations & standards and helps you as the responsible person meet your obligations under the RRO.

Management companies and landlords and the responsible person for fire safety within the premises are responsible for the ensuring statutory inspection & maintenance of smoke ventilation systems. Our management & maintenance teams can help you put together service logs & testing schedules to ensure you meet this statutory requirement and ensure your building’s system is compliant.
