Under Marriott Corporate guidelines, all fire protection systems and life safety features of the building
are required to be fully operational, comply with specifications, and be fully tested and accepted by
Marriott Corporate Fire Protection & Life Safety prior to admitting Marriott operations personnel or
general public to the building.

The final testing will include the sprinkler system, fire alarm system, emergency power and kitchen
hood suppression system where applicable. It is necessary that the installation of these systems is
complete, has received prior testing or adjustment, and is ready for full operational use, prior to the
witnessing of the final acceptance tests.

Testing will require the presence of representatives from the sprinkler and fire alarm companies.
Please have two fully charged portable radios available for use on site during test. The final test will
include the following:

System shall be flushed and pressure tested by contractor prior to Marriott testing.
All sprinkler devices connected to the fire alarm system will be tested. These devices
AUTOMATIC include water flow switches, tamper switches, and pressure switches/gauges (if
SPRINKLER installed) on all zones. The fire pump (if installed) must be tested and approved by
SYSTEM the authority having jurisdiction prior to Marriott testing. A representative of the
sprinkler contractor shall be present and prepared to test system.

The fire alarm system shall be clear from all troubles on the FACP and pre-tested
FIRE by the contractor prior to Marriott testing. Marriott will test all devices and ensure
ALARM proper zone/device indications and function on the alarm panel. A representative
SYSTEM of the fire alarm contractor shall be present and prepared to test system (including
canned smoke and pull station keys).

*This checklist applies only to “high-rise” buildings

(75 ft. from the lowest level of fire department access to the floor of the highest occupied level).

THIS IS NOT A WALK TEST BUTTON

The intent is to allow an occupied hotel to be inspected without bothering the guests, yet keep
the system live in the guestroom for other actual alarms. At some point in the inspection the aux.
function switches can be put back in, one at a time, for actual full scale audible/visual testing.
