This Standard prescribes the methodology for verifying and documenting that all interconnections between systems provided for fire protection and life safety functions are installed and operating in conformance with their design criteria. Refer to Appendix A1.1.

This Standard is intended to satisfy the requirement for integrated systems testing in the National Building Code of Canada and the National Fire Code of Canada.

It is not the intent of this Standard that integrated systems testing ensure individual fire protection and life safety systems are functioning and installed in accordance with their design criteria or referenced Standards.

This Standard prescribes the following:

A Integrated Systems Testing Qualifications;

B Integrated Systems Testing Process;

C Integrated Systems Testing Requirements;

D Integrated Systems Testing Documentation;

E Periodic Integrated Systems Testing;

F Retro-Integrated Systems Testing; and

G Integrated Systems Testing for Modifications.
