ROI Impact
Automated fire service test scheduling monitors regulatory due dates, dispatches certified technicians, records test results, and maintains audit-ready compliance documentation without manual coordination. The system reduces scheduling time by 85% while ensuring 100% test completion rates.
How This Automation Works
Fire Service Test Due Date Approaching → Technician Dispatched and Test Scheduled
Monitor Test Due Dates
The system continuously monitors fire service test schedules across all elevator installations, comparing current dates against regulatory requirements and internal policies to identify upcoming tests requiring coordination.
Generate Test Schedules
When tests approach their due dates, the automation creates detailed test schedules including required protocols, safety procedures, equipment needs, and estimated duration based on elevator type and building specifications.
Assign Certified Technicians
The system reviews available certified technicians, considering their certifications, geographic location, current workload, and historical performance to assign the most appropriate technician for each test.
Send Stakeholder Notifications
Automated notifications are dispatched to building managers, assigned technicians, safety officers, and affected tenants with test dates, expected duration, building access requirements, and any necessary preparation instructions.
Create Work Orders
Comprehensive work orders are generated containing test protocols, safety checklists, reporting templates, and documentation requirements, ensuring technicians have all necessary information before arriving on-site.
Track Test Completion
As technicians complete tests, results are captured in real-time including pass/fail status, observed issues, photographic evidence, and technician sign-offs, automatically updating compliance databases.
Process Test Results
The system analyzes test results, automatically routing passed tests to compliance archives while flagging failures for immediate attention, creating priority repair work orders, and notifying relevant stakeholders of any safety concerns.
Update Compliance Records
All test documentation is automatically filed in compliance management systems, updating regulatory databases, setting next test due dates, and generating certificates of completion for building records and insurance verification.
How It Works
Fire service testing is a critical safety requirement for elevator systems, ensuring emergency functionality during building fires. This automation eliminates manual scheduling burdens by automatically generating test schedules based on regulatory requirements, dispatching certified technicians, recording test results, and maintaining audit-ready compliance documentation. The system monitors test due dates, sends advance notifications to building managers and service teams, tracks completion status, and flags any failures requiring immediate attention. By centralizing fire service test management, property managers reduce compliance risks, eliminate scheduling conflicts, and ensure every elevator meets safety standards without the administrative overhead of manual tracking and coordination.
The Trigger
The automation initiates when a scheduled fire service test date is approaching (typically 30, 14, and 7 days before), when a building manager requests an ad-hoc test, or when regulatory requirements update test frequencies for specific elevator installations.
The Action
The system automatically schedules the fire service test, assigns a certified technician based on availability and location, sends calendar invitations to all stakeholders, creates work orders with test protocols, and updates the compliance tracking database with scheduled test information.

Results You Can Expect
Zero Missed Tests
Automated monitoring ensures every fire service test occurs on schedule, eliminating the compliance risks and potential liabilities associated with missed or overdue safety testing.
Reduced Administrative Time
Eliminate manual scheduling, technician coordination, and reminder follow-ups, allowing safety managers to focus on strategic oversight rather than administrative coordination tasks.
Faster Issue Resolution
Immediate failure notifications and automatic repair work order generation accelerate corrective actions, reducing the time elevators remain non-compliant or potentially unsafe.
Complete Audit Trails
Every test, notification, result, and corrective action is automatically documented with timestamps and digital signatures, providing comprehensive evidence for regulatory audits and insurance reviews.
Portfolio-Wide Visibility
Centralized tracking provides instant visibility into compliance status across all properties and elevator units, enabling proactive management and eliminating surprises during audits.
Optimized Technician Utilization
Intelligent technician assignment considers location, certifications, and workload to minimize travel time, reduce scheduling conflicts, and ensure the right expertise for each test.
Frequently Asked Questions About This Automation
Fire service tests typically must be performed annually, though specific frequencies vary by jurisdiction and building type. High-rise buildings may require semi-annual testing, while some jurisdictions mandate quarterly checks for critical facilities. Automated scheduling ensures tests occur on time regardless of local requirements.
