Fire Alarm Testing


We are considering doing our annual fire alarm testing in 4 quarterly sections.  This has the advantage of having our contractor in the building, working with the system much more often; however, it presents the difficulty that parts of the building done in the 4th quarter will have gone past 12 months since their last test.  Given an intelligent F/A system, do you think this would be a problem with the Joint Commission? The alternative is to do an extra, very expensive, full system test before starting quarterly testing.
