The requirement is necessary to ensure that the site's fire alarm infrastructure remains operational, reliable and appropriately maintained. Fire alarm systems are a critical life safety system that requires appropriate replacement to prevent deterioration and reliability of the system. Failure to replace equipment when required could result in defects within the fire alarm system remaining unresolved and could affect the reliability of the site's fire detection. The requirement therefore supports the continued operation and maintenance of the site's life-safety systems in order to meet its fire safety and health and safety responsibilities.
