CAN/ULC Verification
The CAN/ULC S537 assessment is the first and most important verification that a fire alarm system must undergo.

The objective of this assessment Verification is to ensure that the fire alarm system has been installed in accordance with the original design requirements (plans and specifications) and the CAN/ULC S524 Standard, and to ensure that all foreseeable expected functions of the system will perform as designed.

To be authoritative, this inspection must be carried out by an organization that is different from the one that undertook the installation of the system.

Furthermore, the assessment and assessment report must be made by a qualified technician.

Sound Level Testing
The standards have evolved considerably over the last decade with respect to the sound pressures that must be attained during the sounding of a fire alarm.

The standards are clear, measurable, and well-established now, leaving no room for interpretation. Normacode offers complete expert consultancy whether to guide in the initial planning phase or in the validation of existing installations. We can help you evaluate the best solution for attaining today's fire protection standards.
