GUIDELINES
FOR
INSPECTION, TESTING AND MAINTENANCE
OF
FIRE PROTECTION & LIFE SAFETY SYSTEMS
PREFACE
The initial acceptance of the system is significant to ensure that the systems are
installed and functioned properly. However, this guideline/manual does not go to
the details of the acceptance inspection, testing & commissioning done during
the Building Completion Stage. This guide is focused on the inspection, testing
and maintenance (ITM) of Fire Protection and Life Safety Systems for existing
establishments on the Building Permit Renewal Stage or Maintenance Stage.
Maintaining the Fire Protection and Life Safety Systems in buildings is as critical as
was originally inspected, tested and commissioned during the
Building Completion Stage. This is because Fire Protection and Life Safety Systems
are generally not used on a routine basis the need for proper ITM of these
systems is essential for it to work properly when called upon to work especially on
emergency situations.
Qatar Civil Defence strives to improve its services to the building industry in
Qatar. It will formulate new policies, procedures or introduce improvements to
existing systems and such changes / improvements will be published by
Qatar Civil Defence once updated.

1. GENERAL
1.1 SCOPE
This Section specifies the minimum requirements of inspection, testing and maintenance for
Fire Fighting system, Fire Detection & Alarm System, Emergency Lighting System & EPSS in
Qatar.
1.2 DEFINITION
COMMISSIONING - A systematic process that provides documented confirmation that building systems
function according to the intended design criteria set forth in the project documents and satisfy the
owner’s operational needs, including compliance with applicable laws, regulations, codes, and
standards.
IMPAIRMENT - A condition where a fire protection system or unit or portion thereof is out of order,
and the condition can result in the fire protection system or unit not functioning in a fire event.
EMERGENCY IMPAIRMENT. A condition where a water-based fire protection system or portion thereof is
out of order due to an unexpected occurrence, such as a ruptured pipe, an operated sprinkler, or an
interruption of the water supply to the system.
PREPLANED IMPAIRMENT. A condition where a water-based fire protection system or a portion thereof
is out of service due to work that has been planned in advance, such as revisions to the water supply or
sprinkler system piping.
DEFICIENCY - For the purposes of inspection, testing, and maintenance of fire protection & life safety
systems, a condition in which a system or portion thereof is damaged, inoperable, or in need of service,
but does not rise to the level of an impairment.
CRITICAL DEFICIENCY - A deficiency that, if not corrected, can have an effect on the performance of the
fire protection system.

Form SS-ITM-M/E-O-01
NON CRITICAL DEFICIENCY - A deficiency that does not have an effect on the performance of the fire
protection system, but correction is needed for the proper inspection, testing, and maintenance of the
system(s).
ACTIVE FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEM - A system that uses moving mechanical or electrical parts to achieve
a fire protection goal.
LIFE SAFETY SYSTEMS - Those systems that enhance or facilitate evacuation, smoke control,
compartmentalization, and/or isolation.
DESIGN ENGINEER - A group of stakeholders including, but not limited to, representatives of the
architect, client, and any pertinent engineers and other designers. UPDA Registered Engineer
responsible for the design of Fire Protection and Life Safety Systems of the property.
INSPECTION TESTING AND MAINTENANCE CONTRACTOR - QCD Registered Company for Fire Protection
Systems employing QCD Registered Engineers that is with an agreement or contract with the Owner /
Owner’s Representative to represent them and responsible during regular inspection, testing and
maintenance of the property.
OWNER - Any person, agent, firm, or corporation having a legal or equitable interest in a property,
building, or structure.
The Company responsible for the inspection, testing & maintenance of Fire Protection and Life Safety
Systems shall be registered with and on the approved list of Qatar Civil Defence & Ministry of Economy
and Commerce.
