The Specification 28 31 00 requires

1. pretests the fire alarm system

2. Provide a report of the Pretesting

3. Final Test with COR

4. Provide documentation of the final test, retesting, and inspections.

Exactly what additional work than the 28 31 00 specified testing is required for the CxA??

The Commissioning plan indicates all HVAC testing matrix.

FAA Response to RFI #4 from Honeywell, Mac Parfet on Oct 12.

All fire alarm testing requirements are included in the Fire Alarm Specification. Once all other systems are commissioned and no changes are made, then there is no additional fire alarm work. However, if interfaces with the fire alarm system are affected after the fire alarm test has been completed and accepted those components shall be retested. This was the purpose for including it in the commissioning plan.
