Organising sprinkler service records and handover

Consistent records help the responsible person see what was checked, what changed and what remains open.

Updated 2026-09-10

Use one system identity

Put the site, system type, asset identifier and visit date on every record. Link photographs and readings to exact equipment rather than a loose email thread.

Separate observations from actions

Record what was observed, the test performed, result, limitation and recommended action. Do not mark an issue complete merely because a quotation was requested.

Close the loop

Record the decision, authorisation, completion evidence and next review date. Preserve superseded drawings as history while clearly marking the current version.
