Dry Riser FAQs
Dry risers should be serviced by a qualified mechanical engineer on a visual basis every six months and be subject to a pressure test annually. This inspection is recommended by BS 5306 (1976) Part 1 and BS9990:2005
All components require to be checked as risers are prone to neglect and sometimes vandalism.
Remember that failure to have your fire equipment fully serviced and maintained could result in prosecution and could void your insurance.
An engineer will visually inspect the entire system from roof to ground level. To test the riser it needs to be connected to a water supply at the inlet and pressurised to 10 bars. This should last at least 15 minutes.
Whilst this test is being carried out, the engineer will again check the entire system for any sign of leaks or damage. Any excessive loss in pressure while the test is in progress will be deemed as a fail. On completion of system validation the dry riser is fully drained.
