    This document provides instructions for testing and commissioning a fire sprinkler system. It lists the necessary tools and equipment, and outlines a 16-step process to test the system including: pressure testing all pipes and zones, commissioning the fire pump, filling and pressurizing the system, checking for leaks in each zone over 2 hours, testing the flow switches and alarm panels, draining each zone to trigger alarms, and setting the pressure regulating valves. The overall goal is to fully test the installed sprinkler system and all its components to ensure proper operation.

    Method Statement for Testing & Commissioning of Fire Fighting Sprinkler System

    Please arrange following instruments & tools for testing & commissioning of firefighting sprinkler
    system.

     Valve operating keys


     Calibrated Pressure Gauges
     Heat Gun
     Torque Tester
     Flexible Hose
     Drums 300 liter to 500 liters

    Testing & Commissioning Sequence

    Pre-Commissioning Phase

    1- Before commissioning the system, the following shall be ensured.


    2- The installation and pressure testing of the pipes are completed.
    3- The installation of Zone Control Valves, main line Isolation Valve and other accessories are
    completed.
    4- Cabling and interface connection to Zone Control Valve and main fire alarm panel is
    completed.
    5- Termination of Zone Control Valves and main fire alarm panel is completed.
    6- Confirm that alarm check valve and all the accessories are ready for putting the system in
    service.
    7- Ensure that all sprinklers are properly installed and free from obstructions.
    8- Ensure that all system equipment and devices are properly identified by tags/labels.

    Flushing has been done.

    Fire Fighting System Testing & Commissioning Phase

    1- Complete installation of sprinklers as per the approved drawings & method statement of
    installation.
    2- Complete pressure testing for all the floors & the risers as per method statement for testing,
    and hand over all pressure testing to consultant & contractor.
    3- Commission the fire pump set as per pump commissioning method statement.
    4- Fill the system with water and pressurize the system to match the souk pressure cut off using
    a manual and electric pump to avoid triggering any alarm fault at the souk when opening the
    main valve.
    5- Coordination with the Facility management of the souk where fire pump is located for the
    sprinkler has to be established prior to opening of the main valve.
    6- PRV settings for the PRV station to be agreed prior to commissioning.
    7- Close all the zone control valves in all the zones in the building.
    8- Gradually open the main gate valve, check visually for any leak for a period of 2 hours.
    9- Start opening the zone control valves floor by floor and check each floor visually for any leak
    for a period of 2 hours (This includes the tenant/retail area)

    10- Check status of flow switch in the fire alarm control panel of each zone control valve
    assembly during opening of the zone control valve.
    11- After pressurizing the whole system, keep it for 24 hours under observation.
    12- Record the pressure indicated in each zone control valve.
    13- Open gradually/slowly the drain valve of the zone control valves floor by floor. Alarm system
    should indicate fire signal in the building.
    14- Record the pressure indicated in each zone control valve.
    15- For retail/tenant area repeat step “n” but make sure a flexible hose is connected and
    directed to a drum or nearest floor drain.
    16- Close the zone control valves floor by floor and alarm system should give fault signal.
    Same will be done with tenant/retail.

    Setting of PRV at the PRV Station

    1- Check if the main valve is fully open.


    2- Check the pressure gauge indicated in the inlet of PRV station and record the reading at the
    test sheet provided.
    3- Open the PRV and check the pressure gauge installed in the outlet of the PRV.
    4- If the pressure is not as per the required pressure adjust the PRV to satisfy the requirement
    and record the reading in the test sheet provided.
    5- Repeat steps 1 to 4 for other remaining PRV station.
