Maintenance and inspection of fire protection, with logbook

The Bbl does not prescribe a logbook format. The duties of care do apply, such as Article 6.4 for fire-safe use: the Informatiepunt Leefomgeving cites inadequate checks after penetrations are added or changed as an example of conduct contrary to it. Without a record per penetration it is hard to show the municipality, fire service or insurer what was done and when. Some insurers also ask for it.

Per provision: the location, the system or material applied, the installation date, the party that carried out the work and the outcome of every later inspection. For penetrations that is per opening, for doors and dampers per element. We keep the logbook up to date for you, so it stays current and you can show it straight away at an inspection.

We tailor that to the use, the number of changes and the manufacturer's instructions. In buildings with many changes an annual round is common; where little changes, a round every two years can be enough. Fire dampers and fire doors follow the manufacturer's instructions. After a renovation an extra round is sensible, because that is exactly when new penetrations are made.

Yes. We then start with a survey: all provisions mapped, assessing what still complies, repairing what is needed, and building up and maintaining the logbook from that point onwards.

Yes, every inspection produces a report with findings, work carried out and any recommendations.
