CAN/ULC-S 1001 -11 (R 2018) Standard for Integrated Systems Testing of Fire Protection and Life Safety Systems

CAN/ULC-S 1001 -11 (R 2018) Standard for Integrated Systems Testing of Fire Protection and Life Safety Systems Ø 1 st published in 2011 Ø Referenced in 2015 NBC & NFC Ø Reaffirmed in 2018 Ø Proposed Amendment in process

WHERE DOES IT START? Ontario Building Code Fire Alarm Installation & Verification • 3. 2. 4. 5 (1) Fire Alarm Systems shall be installed to CAN/ULC-S 524, “Installation of Fire Alarm Systems” • 3. 2. 4. 5 (2) Fire Alarm Systems shall be verified to CAN/ULC-S 537 “Verification of Fire Alarm Systems”

WHERE DOES IT START? Commissioning of Life Safety and Fire Protection Systems - from 2010 NBC • 3. 2. 4. 6. (1) & 9. 10. 18. 10 Where life safety and fire protection systems are installed to comply with the provisions of this Code or the Fire Code made under the Fire Protection and Prevention Act, 1997, the commissioning of these integrated systems must be performed as a whole to ensure the properation and inter-relationship between the systems.

WHERE DOES IT START? Appendix A • A-3. 2. 4. 6. (1) When commissioning a building, the owner must ensure that the life safety systems and their components are functioning according to the intent of their design. The commissioning provides the documented confirmation that the building systems satisfy the intent of the code. • This responsibility may fall on the designer, owner, contractor or a commissioning body. • The Ontario Building Code does not specify who must fulfill this role. 7

CODE REQUIRES: ü Commissioning ü Integrated systems testing ü Proper Operation ü Inter-relationship of systems H O W ? ? ? 8

NATIONAL BUILDING CODE 2015 Integrated Fire Protection and Life Safety Systems • 3. 2. 9. 1. (1) & 9. 10. 1. 2. (1) Where fire protection and life safety systems and systems with fire protection and life safety functions are integrated with each other, they shall be tested as a whole in accordance with CAN/ULCS 1001, …. to verify that they have been properly integrated. 9

National Fire Code 2015 Integrated Fire Protection and Life Safety Systems • 6. 8. 1. 1 Interconnections between fire protection and life safety systems shall be tested and maintained in conformance with CAN/ULC-S 1001, “Integrated Systems Testing of Fire Protection and Life Safety Systems. ” 10

COMMISSIONING vs INTEGRATED TESTING Commissioning Integrated Systems Testing • Owner driven process • A Code requirement • Ensured that the finished facility operates in accordance with the project requirements and construction documents • Method to verify and document that interconnections are installed and operating per their design criteria • Applies to all building systems and components • Applies to fire protection and life safety systems only 11

CAN/ULC-S 1001 -11 (R 2018) SCOPE • Prescribes methodology/process for testing the interconnections of integrated systems including: v Fire alarm v Emergency generator v Fire pump v Elevators v Audio/visual systems, lighting control systems ……etc. 12

CAN/ULC-S 1001 -11 (R 2018) SCOPE Also prescribes: A. B. C. D. E. F. G. Integrated systems testing qualifications; Integrated systems testing process; Integrated systems testing requirements; Integrated systems testing documentation; Periodic integrated systems testing; Retro-integrated systems testing; Integrated systems testing for modifications. 13

CAN/ULC-S 1001 -11 GLOSSARY • INTEGRATED FIRE PROTECTION AND LIFE SAFETY SYSTEMS – A combination of two or more fire protection and life safety systems, which may or may not be physically connected with one another, but that are designed to operate together to achieve an overall fire protection and life safety objective. 14

CAN/ULC-S 1001 -11 GLOSSARY • INTEGRATED TESTING COORDINATOR - The person, firm, corporation, or organization responsible for the development and implementation of the integrated testing plan. - Firm, corporation, or organization shall designate a integrated testing coordinator. Requirement: knowledgeable and experienced 15

CAN/ULC-S 1001 -11 GLOSSARY • INTEGRATED TESTING PLAN • INTEGRATED TESTING REPORT - written project specific document - prepared by the integrated testing coordinator - required tests = functional / actual results 16

INTEGRATED SYSTEMS TESTING PROCESS TWO PHASES: Planning and Implementation • PLANNING: • Design professionals for each system submit documents on integration performance of the system • Any deficiencies found - documented and forwarded to the design professional for resolution (and notify owner) • Includes: building floor plans, drawings and specifications of fire protection and life safety systems, manufacturer's operating and testing instructions, documentation of any alternative solutions 17

SAMPLE IST PLAN: Project Contacts 18

INTEGRATED TESTING PLAN Shall include: • Functional objectives of system integrations • Sequence of operations – normal and offnormal • Test protocol and procedures • Procedure for notifying building occupants • Alternative measures – notifications and safety protocols for ensuring occupant safety during testing • Phased occupancy? 19

INTEGRATED TESTING PLAN Shall consider: • Phased occupancy plan • Safety of personnel Subject to review and acceptance by concerned design professional WHERE REQUIRED, the testing coordinator shall provide testing plan to the AHJ for review 20

SAMPLE IST PLAN SYSTEM INTEGRATION AND FUNCTIONAL OBJECTIVE EXAMPLE: ELEVATOR 21

SAMPLE IST PLAN TESTING PROTOCOL AND PROCEDURE EXAMPLE: ELEVATOR PRIMARY RECALL 22

INTEGRATED SYSTEMS TESTING IMPLEMENTATION PHASE PRE-TESTING Written confirmation from: Ø design professional(s) - conducted acceptance testing and installation Ø installing contractor(s) – confirmation of correct installation Ø verifying parties - confirming functional operation • Occupant notification procedure • WHERE REQUIRED sufficient notification shall be provided to AHJ to witness integrated systems testing 23

SAMPLE IST PLAN PRE-TESTING DOCUMENTATION 24

APPENDIX NOTE • Where the coordinator has been provided with specific documented evidence that an integrated test was performed during acceptance testing, such documentation may be considered acceptable to comply with the intent of this Standard at the discretion of the coordinator, and WHERE REQUIRED, in consultation with the AHJ Appendix A A-3. 2. 9. 1(1) 25

SAMPLE IST PLAN DOCUMENTATION OF PRE-COMPLETED TEST RESULTS 26

INTEGRATED SYSTEMS TESTING REQUIREMENTS • The tests in the Standard are minimum level of required testing. Additional testing may be required • The tests shall include a functional operation of device or system, except simulation testing shall be permitted where: Ø Non-restorable devices or systems are required to be activated Ø Tests may result in harm to persons, or damage to a device, system or building 27

INTEGRATED SYSTEMS TESTING ADDITIONAL NOTES • Failure of any systems test shall result in correction and re-test of affected systems • Upon successful completion of systems testing documentation shall be provided to the: • Building owner • AHJ, WHERE REQUIRED • Maintained on site as per Fire Code 28
