Description
PREFACE
This is the Sixth Edition of the Standard for Inspection and Testing of Fire Alarm Systems, CAN/ULC 536.
This Edition of the Standard was developed by the ULC Standards Working Group on Inspection, Testing and Verification of Fire Alarm Systems, reviewed by the ULC Subcommittee on Installation, Inspection and Verification of Fire Alarm Systems, and was formally approved by the ULC Standards Committee on Fire Alarm and Life Safety Equipment and Systems.
This Standard has been developed in compliance with the requirements of Standards Council of Canada (SCC) for accreditation of a Standards Development Organization.
This Edition of the Standard was developed and coordinated as part of the following set of companion standards:
- CAN/ULC-S524, Standard for Installation of Fire Alarm Systems;
- CAN/ULC 536, Standard for Inspection and Testing of Fire Alarm Systems; and
- CAN/ULC-S537, Standard for Verification of Fire Alarm Systems.
It is expected that verification of the fire alarm system will be carried out in conformance with CAN/ULC- S537, Standard for Verification of Fire Alarm Systems.
Only metric SI units of measurement are used in this Standard. If a value for measurement is followed by a value in other units in parentheses, the second value may be approximate. The first stated value is the requirement.
Annexes A to F, identified as informative, are for informational purposes only.
In Canada, there are two official languages, English and French. All safety warnings must be in French and English. Attention is drawn to the fact that some Canadian authorities may require markings and/or instructions to be in either or both official languages.
This Sixth Edition National Standard of Canada is based on, and now supersedes, the Fifth Edition.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this Canadian standard may be the subject of patent rights. ULC Standards shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
Requests for interpretation of this Standard should be sent to ULC Standards The requests should be worded in such a manner as to permit a “yes” or “no” answer based on the literal text of the requirement concerned.
This CAN/ULC 536 Standard is under continuous maintenance, whereby each revision is approved in compliance with the requirements of SCC for accreditation of a Standards Development Organization. In the event that no revisions are issued for a period of four years from the date of publication, action to revise, reaffirm, or withdraw the standard shall be initiated.
Comments or proposals for revisions on any part of the Standard may be submitted at any time. Proposals should be submitted via a Proposal Request in the On-Line Collaborative Standards Development System (CSDS) at https://csds.ul.com.
This Standard is intended to be used for conformity assessment.
Scope
1.1 This Standard prescribes requirements for the inspection and testing of fire alarm systems; and specifies the devices and functions to be inspected, tested, and documented for the periodic inspection and test.
NOTE 1: This Standard is intended to apply to both required and voluntary fire alarm installations. NOTE 2: Refer to Annex A (Informative), Informative Materials, A1.1.
