What the engineer records
- Each damper's result, tapped on site, with before-and-after photos.
- The result is worked out from the answers - never picked from a list.
- Open the job before you lose signal in the plant room.
The damper register
- Import the site's register from a spreadsheet: reference, location, type.
- Each damper keeps its own due date.
- A location plan with damper dots, so the next engineer finds them.
Failed dampers and retests
- A failed damper gets a retest that moves only the dampers retested - the rest of the site keeps its dates.
- Retests show in the planner as due soon until booked.
- BS 9999:2017 expects faulty dampers to be repaired or replaced immediately; the retest record shows it was done.
The certificate and test report
- Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory certificate plus a full test report, as locked PDFs in your firm's branding.
- The legal line for the site's nation: England and Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland.
- Office review, send back to the engineer if needed, then send to the client. What was emailed is what is stored. Corrections re-issue as Rev B, original kept.
Inspections
- Damper inspections are included in Fire damper testing and inspections at no extra cost.
- An inspection records what the engineer finds; it can bring a test forward but never replaces one.
Planner and invoicing
- Month, week and day views: to book, overdue, due soon (damper areas and retests), booked.
- Draft invoice in your own Xero from the sent job.
