ULC 1001 – Standard for Integrated Systems Testing of Fire Protection and Life Safety Systems (CAN/ULC S1001-11)

This Standard has been developed to meet the needs of the National Building Code of Canada (NBCC) and the National Fire Code of Canada (NFCC) for integrated systems testing of fire protection and lifesafety systems and the fire protection and life safety functions of other systems. It represents the processof integrated systems testing and is the first ULC standard related to Commissioning. It is the ultimateintention of the ULC Committee to work with the National Building Code of Canada (NBCC) and NationalFire Code of Canada (NFCC) Standing Committees to have CAN/ULC-S1001 introduced into the NBCCand the NFCC to address the integrated systems testing needs of a building?s fire protection and life safetysystems as a whole.

This Standard prescribes the following: methodology for verifying and documenting that allinterconnections between systems provided for fire protection and life safety functions are installed andoperating in conformance with their design criteria; integrated systems testing qualifications; integratedsystems testing process; integrated systems testing requirements; integrated systems testingdocumentation; periodic integrated systems testing; retro-integrated systems testing; and integratedsystems testing for modifications.

The intended users of this standard may include building owners, property managers, those who performfunctions associated integrated systems testing and commissioning, general contractors, regulators, etc.
