The annual testing and maintenance of both Dry and Wet Risers is the responsibility of the property owners or Managing agents. British Standard BS 9990:2015 recommends that the system is visually inspected every 6 months and serviced annually to ensure that the equipment is ready for immediate use in an emergency. In addition, it is recommended that a ‘full wet test’ be carried out annually, comprising of a full wet pressure test to 10 or 12 bar subjecting the main to a full working test. The pressure depends on the age of the building. Pre-2015 tested at 10 bar, 2015 onwards tested at 12 bar.
