How firefighting equipment is used

There are various firefighting equipment installed in the buildings where you live.

To prevent equipment from failing to function properly in the unlikely event of an accident

Since these devices are only used in emergencies, it is essential to check that they are working properly before installation.
For this reason, technical standards for firefighting equipment are stipulated by law, and rigorous testing and inspections are conducted by inspection agencies to ensure their quality. The Japan Fire Equipment
Inspection Association, an inspection organization under the Fire Service Act, inspects these devices.
