When and where must installation labels be placed?

Installation labels are a crucial part of fire alarm system compliance and documentation. They serve as a means to provide essential information about the system's installation, such as the installer’s details, system specifications, and any relevant certification.

Placing the installation label inside the control panel cover or in a permanent location ensures that it is securely housed within the system itself and is easily accessible for inspection and maintenance. This location allows for immediate reference by authorized personnel who need to confirm the system's details, enhancing safety and compliance with regulations.

Additionally, this practice aligns with regulatory standards that require documentation to be available at the site of the system. It allows for quicker response times in emergencies and ensures that any technician or fire safety personnel can verify system installation and maintenance history on-site without having to look elsewhere. This heightens the efficiency of fire safety responses and ensures that all installations are easily traceable back to the responsible contractor.
