Which document would typically record the detector sensitivities with test dates during testing?

• A. System Record of Inspection and Testing
• B. Documentation log
• C. Maintenance log
• D. Calibration certificate

Answer: (A)

When testing a fire alarm system, detector sensitivities and the dates of those tests are captured in the System Record of Inspection and Testing. This document is the official log for all testing activities, recording the actual sensitivity readings (pass/fail or measured values) along with the test dates, so there’s a traceable history for commissioning and ongoing inspections. It provides a single, authoritative source showing that detectors met requirements at specific times. Other records serve different purposes: a documentation log tracks documents, a maintenance log records ongoing upkeep, and a calibration certificate documents device calibration rather than the system-wide testing results with dates.
