Our Integrated Systems Testing Services

Comprehensive System Integration Review

We conduct an in-depth evaluation of your building’s integrated systems, ensuring that all fire protection and life safety components—such as fire alarms, sprinkler systems, HVAC, smoke control, emergency lighting, and other critical systems—function as a cohesive unit. Our review process verifies that all integrated systems are designed, installed, and tested in accordance with CAN/ULC-S1001 and the applicable building code and fire code.

Rigorous Testing Procedures

We perform full-scale integrated system testing by simulating real-life emergency scenarios to verify that all components interact correctly and effectively under emergency conditions. Adhering to the requirements of CAN/ULC-S1001 and the applicable building code and fire code, our comprehensive testing ensures:

• All systems respond as expected to emergency events.
• The interconnections between systems function reliably.
• Compliance with the highest safety and regulatory standards.

Verification of System Performance and Compliance

Our team ensures that integrated systems not only meet the requirements of CAN/ULC-S1001 but also operate optimally during emergencies. We verify that:

• Each system performs as intended when activated.
• System integration meets safety, reliability, and regulatory standards.
• Any deficiencies or malfunctions are identified and addressed.

Documentation and Certification

As part of our commitment to transparency and excellence, we provide comprehensive documentation to support regulatory compliance and ensure peace of mind. Our deliverables include:

• Integrated Testing Plan (ITP) – A detailed plan outlining the scope, methodology, and procedures for integrated system testing.
• Integrated Testing Report (ITR) – A formal report documenting the test results, system performance, and compliance verification.
• ULC Compliance Certificate – An official certification confirming that your facility’s integrated systems meet CAN/ULC-S1001 and the applicable building code and fire code.

This documentation is essential for regulatory approval and ensures that your facility’s integrated systems are fully tested, compliant, and certified.
