stics Dry Riser

stics Dry Riser App

The stics app family is a series of applications that work with our proprietary Near Field Communication (NFC) asset tags. Our apps will not perform any useful function without the asset tags installed.

The Stics dry riser app ensures that the client knows when and by whom a dry riser was inspected and ensures the operative has the relevant qualifications to carry out the inspection. Our scheduler ensures that an operative never misses the last date of inspection. It also ensures that every step of the inspection/service is adhered to and then reported back to the client and the contractor in real time for their records. Every data point collected is live and can be used to populate any report the client or contractor may need.

Dry Riser Testing is Required Every Six Months

Regular dry riser testing is essential to ensure the equipment is is good working order. Servicing and maintenance of the equipment should also be carried out at this time. The importance of a working dry riser cannot be underestimated. The Fire brigade depends on dry risers in their fight against fire. If they cannot quickly and easily access the equipment or if it is faulty it may hamper their attempts to fight the fire so further endanger lives. 

What Testing is Required on a Dry Riser?

The 2015 British Standards BS9990 lays out recommendations for dry riser testing, maintenance and servicing. It recommends a visual inspection of dry riser equipment every six months and a more detailed physical dry riser test each year. 

Dry Riser Visual Inspection

The visual inspection of dry risers, required every 6 months, is to ensure that there are no obvious signs of damage or vandalism. It is important to document this and to quickly repair or replace any damaged or missing parts.
