Emergency Warning & Intercommunication System

By offering timely alerts and aiding in systematic evacuations, the EWIS significantly reduces fatalities caused by fires. We understand the critical role these devices play in fire protection and offer services in line with Australian Standards.

Emergency Warning & Intercommunication System Services​

We give our clients a detailed report and a unique service tag for their EWIS setup. These tags can inform you about testing and replacement schedules. Building managers and business owners need to ensure an exceptional fire safety for every occupant and staff member, and we can help you achieve that.

EWIS Services

Many buildings have integrated the essential emergency warning systems (EWS). However, EWIS is more comprehensive with both sound and intercom facilities. This is crucial, especially in the event of an emergency, as it empowers fire wardens to guide and ensure the systematic and safe evacuation of everyone in the building. Dedicated to enhancing safety, we offer a complete range of EWIS services.

While providing these essential services, we are also committed to transparency. We give our clients a detailed report and a unique service tag for their EWIS setup. These tags can inform you about testing and replacement schedules. Building managers and business owners need to ensure exceptional fire safety for every occupant and staff member, and we can help you achieve that.

  • Comprehensive EWIS Testing to validate its efficiency.
  • Regular and structured EWIS maintenance, ensuring the system remains at its operational best.

EWIS Testing

With commercial buildings, maintaining EWIS safety standards and adhering to set testing frequencies is essential.

For the warning mechanisms, comprehensive testing is required: monthly check-ups for immediate issues, 6-monthly reviews to capture any intermittent concerns, yearly evaluations for a thorough examination, and expansive 5-yearly EWIS testing to ensure long-term reliability.

The emergency communication systems can have more spaced-out testing, with yearly tests and a detailed inspection in five years.

EWIS Inspection & Maintenance

The integrity and effectiveness of Emergency Warning and Intercommunication Systems (EWIS) is based on multiple integral components, with the EWIS Panels being most important.

EWIS inspection demands a careful check on the EWIS control panel, clear audibility of loudspeakers, clarity and precision of sound (sound intelligibility), effectiveness of amplifiers, and readiness of visual warning aids.

It also stretches to cover basic elements such as the microphone, batteries, faultless wiring, and the proper function of the intercom system.

And since the EWIS activates when the fire indicator panel detects and triggers a fire alarm system, these related components must be thoroughly vetted during fire safety inspections.

But our commitment goes beyond making your systems fire safe. Our team of trained technicians and certified electricians ensure that your EWIS fire system isn’t just operational but meets the stringent criteria set by Australian standards. Using a detailed inspection checklist, tailor-made to match the benchmarks of Australian Safety standards, our expert fire safety technicians carry out a complete evaluation of your EWIS.

After inspections, we equip you with a comprehensive report through our easy-to-navigate CMMS system, providing you the clarity and confidence to stay ahead in your fire safety equipment maintenance.
