Optical chambers can be contaminated by humidity cycles, salt-laden sea air, and shock during handling. The OEM commissioning certificate is the only auditable reference; re-measurement on site is what proves the as-installed condition still falls inside the OEM tolerance band declared in the System Sensor ECO1000 datasheet rev 2024-03 / Hochiki FIRElink-400 manual rev 2023-11.
It depends on the destination. The UAE routes through Civil Defense product-conformity channels, Saudi Arabia through SASO, and Egypt through EOS. The maintenance dossier should contain the local product-conformity evidence matching the destination jurisdiction, counter-referenced to the OEM certificate.
At minimum, on the interval declared in the OEM datasheet (12 months for System Sensor ECO1000 per datasheet rev 2024-03 §5.2) and on the cadence required by the local fire code. Where the two differ, the more conservative interval (the sooner of the two) governs and should be recorded in the maintenance schedule entry.
Yes, in most cases. The OEM service procedure (ECO1000 datasheet rev 2024-03 §4.7; FIRElink-400 manual rev 2023-11 §6.4) typically allows chamber cleaning or compensation adjustment followed by a re-test. If the re-test still fails to return to the ±20% tolerance band, the detector is removed from service and replaced; the drift-and-repair record must document both outcomes.
It is sealed and archived by the maintenance contractor with the client representative, indexed by the TradVolt doc ID TV-MNT-FDS-CNMEA-014, and made available for fire-authority audit on request.

| 18 | Re-use after drift allowance: a detector may be returned to service only if a chamber cleaning or compensation adjustment brings the re-test reading back inside the ±20% tolerance band; otherwise it is removed from service and replaced.
