How firefighting equipment is used
There are various firefighting equipment installed in the buildings where you live.
All of these equipment are subject to standards set by the Fire Service Act.
In addition, each piece of equipment is marked to indicate that it complies with the Fire Service Act.
(Click on each piece of firefighting equipment to view details about that equipment.)
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.
