ERRCS Annual Recertification & Maintenance
IFC 510 and NFPA 72 require public safety radio systems to be tested annually. Miss it and the building is out of compliance — often discovered during an unrelated inspection.
Frequency
Annual, code required
Scope
Full grid test, all divisions
Battery test
Capacity under load
Filing
AHJ documentation included
Straight answers
What it is, what it costs, whether you need it.
A renewal date, a property transfer, or a fire inspection that asked for last year's test record.
No gated pricing, no “contact us for a quote” on the basics. Every number below is the range we actually quote in commercial buildings; your survey replaces it with a fixed figure.
What is annual ERRCS recertification?
Code requires installed public safety radio systems to be re-tested every year: a full grid test across every division of the building, battery capacity under load, annunciator and supervisory circuit checks, and enclosure/antenna inspection — with the results filed with the AHJ.
Who is responsible?
The building owner. A lapse typically surfaces during an unrelated fire inspection, and it can put occupancy or an insurance position at risk.
What does it cost?
Priced per building by size and number of test divisions, with portfolio pricing and a single consolidated renewal date available across multiple properties.
This is the right scope if
- Your building has an installed ERRCS or BDA
- You cannot locate last year's certification record
- You just took over management of the property
- Multiple buildings with staggered inspection dates
We’ll point you elsewhere if
- No ERRCS is installed yet — that's a new ERRCS deployment
What this covers
How the scope actually runs.
Our recertification program re-runs the full grid test across every division of the building, verifies battery capacity under load, checks annunciator and supervisory circuits, inspects enclosures and antenna terminations, and files the documentation with the AHJ.
Where the building has changed — new walls, new tenant build-outs, a new addition — we flag the coverage impact and scope the correction rather than filing a marginal pass.
Programs are available per building or across an entire portfolio with a single renewal date and consolidated reporting.

Answers
Asked about this service
Who is responsible for annual testing?+
The building owner. The AHJ enforces it, and a lapse can surface during any fire inspection.
Can you take over recertification on a system you did not install?+
Yes. We benchmark the existing system first and tell you plainly whether it will pass before the official test.
