Fire & Gas Audits
Are your fire & gas devices tested, documented, and ready to respond when needed? TriNova performs manufacturer-agnostic fire & gas audits across your existing installed base — verifying device condition, calibration status, alarm response, and controller logic before an incident, outage, or audit exposes a problem.
How TriNova conducts a Fire & Gas Audit
Our specialists perform a structured field review of the equipment installed at your facility today — point gas detectors, flame detectors, line-of-sight and open-path devices, controllers, alarm and annunciation devices, and the wiring and interfaces that carry alarms into your control system. Device condition, aiming, calibration status, and documentation gaps are captured, and the response chain from device through controller to your PLC, DCS, SCADA, or HMI is confirmed end to end.
The result is a documented picture of current condition with a prioritized deficiency list and recommended next steps — repairs, calibration, controller work, training, a maintenance agreement, or targeted upgrades — sized to what your system actually needs.
- Device inventory and visual inspection of gas detectors, flame detectors, open-path devices, controllers, and warning devices
- Detector condition, placement, aiming, and coverage review
- Calibration and bump-test status (as-found condition)
- Alarm response and controller response verification
- Loop logic testing where applicable — from device input through to your PLC, DCS, SCADA, HMI, or fire & gas controller
The Outcome
What a Fire & Gas Audit delivers
Device condition and readiness verified
Every detector, controller, and warning device in scope gets a documented condition review — visual inspection, aiming, calibration status, and known failure modes. Your program stops working from guesses and starts working from data.
Response chain confirmed end-to-end
Detection isn't only about whether the device sees the challenge — it's about whether the alarm reaches the right system. The audit follows the response chain through the fire & gas controller and into the connected PLC, DCS, SCADA, or HMI so the whole loop is verified.
Deficiencies documented with priority
A device-level deficiency list — pass/fail by device, damaged components, wiring concerns, configuration issues, and documentation gaps — ranked by impact so your teams know what to fix first.
A service plan you can act on
Findings come with a prioritized action plan — corrective repairs, calibration campaigns, controller work, training, or a maintenance agreement. Unknown system condition becomes an actionable service path built around your installed base as it exists today.
When to schedule an audit
Common reasons facilities request a Fire & Gas Audit
- Aging system or undocumented installed base — no current device list, calibration records, or deficiency register on file
- Upcoming PSM / EHS review, insurance review, or regulatory readiness assessment
- Recurring nuisance alarms, device faults, or reliability concerns driving repeat callouts
- Outage or turnaround planning — bundling inspection, testing, calibration, and response verification while access is available
- Facilities preparing for a system upgrade and needing a documented baseline before scope is set
Fire & Gas Audit FAQs
Do you service equipment TriNova did not originally supply? Yes. Our audits are manufacturer-agnostic and cover the installed base as it exists today — including devices, controllers, and interfaces from other manufacturers. You don't need to replace the system to have it audited.
Does the audit verify alarm response, or just detector condition? Both. Device-level condition — detectors, warning devices, controllers — is one part of the audit. The other part is response verification: confirming that when a device detects, the alarm actually reaches the fire & gas controller, the connected PLC / DCS / SCADA / HMI, and the operator interface where the response is expected.
What do we receive at the end of the audit? A device-by-device audit report with pass/fail status, a prioritized deficiency list, calibration and condition observations, response-chain verification notes, and recommended next steps — built to support immediate corrective action, turnaround scope, and long-term reliability planning.
