What Does a Fire-System AMC Include — and Why You Need One

Why an AMC matters

Civil Defence requires fire and life-safety systems to be maintained and certified regularly. An Annual Maintenance Contract (AMC) schedules that work so you stay compliant and audit-ready — and your insurance and occupancy aren’t put at risk.

What a typical AMC includes

  • Scheduled inspection of all fire systems
  • Extinguisher servicing, refilling and pressure testing
  • Fire alarm, sprinkler, pump and suppression testing
  • Emergency & exit light testing
  • Fault finding and rectification
  • Compliance reports and certificates

How often?

Most systems need periodic servicing through the year as set out in the UAE Fire & Life Safety Code; an AMC books these visits automatically so nothing is missed.

This is general guidance — confirm exact requirements with our team and your Civil Defence authority.

Frequently asked questions

What happens if I skip maintenance?

Lapses can mean failed inspections, fines, and complications with insurance or occupancy.

Can you maintain systems another company installed?

Yes — after an initial inspection we can take over maintenance of existing systems.
