IST verifies that all interconnected Life Safety Systems within a building operate together correctly during both normal and emergency conditions.
CAN/ULC-S1001 is Canada's Standard for Integrated Systems Testing of Fire Protection and Life Safety Systems. It defines the methodology for verifying and documenting that all interconnections between fire protection and life safety systems are installed and operating in conformance with their design.
Prior to 2020, it was assumed that all building systems worked together in the case of an emergency. When lives are at stake, assumptions aren't enough. Your life safety systems must work together, and you need to prove it.

Many building owners are unfamiliar with the IST process and their ongoing responsibilities after occupancy.
We believe that informed clients make better decisions. Throughout the process, we ensuer you fully understand what is being tested, why it is being tested, and how it impacts your building's compliance and life safety performance.
Proper documentation is one of the most important components of CAN/ULC-S1001 compliance. APS Fire & Integration assists with:
Many existing buildings contain integrated life safety systems installed over multiple phases, by different contractors, and under different code requirements. We specialize in:
Building systems change over time. Renovations, tenant fit-ups, equipment replacements, and system upgrades can all affect integrated life safety operations.
By keeping your documentation current and your system properly managed, we help ensure that future changes do not compromise life safety performance or regulatory complicance.
