WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT CAN/ULC-S1001

Integrated Systems Testing, as mandated by CAN/ULC-S1001 and Ontario Building Code Section 3.2.10.1, is a critical requirement for ensuring the seamless operation of fire protection and life safety systems, such as sprinklers, alarms, and elevators in emergency situations.

Enforced for construction permits issued after January 1st, 2021, this rigorous testing process verifies the integration of interconnected systems, confirming that safety measures function as intended in emergency scenarios. By verifying the proper integration of these systems, S1001 testing provides peace of mind to building owners, ensuring compliance with safety regulations and reducing risks in emergency situations. With its broad application across new construction and retrofits in Ontario and Western Canada, S1001 testing is not only essential for compliance but also for protecting lives and property.
