    Dry Riser Testing

    LPM’s perform dry riser testing in compliance with BS 9990:2015 which recommends a dry riser system is inspected at least every 6 months. Our testing will be arranged at convenient times for you and we will cause the bare minimum of disruption to your workplace.

    A dry riser test and service is also recommended annually in order to ensure that dry riser equipment is ready for immediate use in any emergency.

    Our six monthly visual inspection includes:

    • Checking all valves open and close, leave closed (checking strap lock if required)
    • Checking all outlet washers
    • Checking for damaged or missing blank caps and chains
    • Checking that all hand wheels and nuts are free moving and undamaged
    • Checking the inlet cabinet and door for corrosion
    • Checking that the inlet breaching valve springs, and that the rubbers are free moving and in good condition
    • Checking the cabinet glass
    • Checking all required signage is present and correct

    Annual static pressure test (in addition to the six monthly checks):

    • Connecting the inlet to a pump & water supply
    • Completely charge with water to a pressure of 10 bar measured at the inlet for a period of at least 15 minutes
    • During this period, an inspection of the system will be made to ensure that there is no leakage of water at any of the joints or landing valves
