On the certificate
What the fire alarm certificate captures
System category recorded
L1–L5, M, P1 and P2 with the category justification captured on the certificate, so the design intent travels with every later visit.
Meter readings with the maths done
Mains, standby and charger readings plus quiescent and alarm currents — standby battery capacity is calculated to the BS 5839-1 method automatically.
ACT meter discharge tests
Enter rated and measured Ah per battery and the percentage is worked out; batteries under 65% or over four years old are flagged.
Sound pressure levels
SPL readings per area with the pass threshold applied for you, on the periodic and commissioning certificates.
False alarm rate review
Twelve-month false alarm count against detector count, checked against the review thresholds.
Periodic servicing checklist
Every routine check from the panel clock to the log book, with fails turned into defects in one tap.

Questions
Fire Alarm in Kerova
Does Kerova decide the pass/fail?
The overall verdict is computed from the zone results, checklist outcomes and defect severities you record — no manual judgement call. You can still override an individual defect's severity, and that's recorded.
Can I carry over zones from the last visit?
Yes. A new periodic certificate pre-fills the zone register and panel details from the previous one on that system, so the engineer verifies rather than re-types.
What about the weekly user test?
Kerova certifies the competent-person inspections. The responsible person's weekly call-point test stays in the site log book, which can be uploaded to the site's document library.
