Commissioning

Systematic, documented commissioning of every Voxiss installation against the design specification — with STIPA intelligibility verification, EN 54 functional testing, witnessed handover, and a complete certification pack ready for the building’s log book.

Our commissioning engineers carry calibrated NTi XL2 STIPA analysers, EN 54 simulation tools, and the full software toolchain required to configure, verify and certify the entire system end-to-end.

Intelligibility: STIPA · STI ≥ 0.50
Equipment: NTi XL2 Calibrated Analyser
Compliance: BS 5839-8:2023 · BS EN 60268-16
Output: Full Certification Pack
Scope

What We Verify

01
Speech Intelligibility

STIPA measurements at multiple positions per zone, recorded against the BS 5839-8 target of STI ≥ 0.50 (CIS ≥ 0.70). Heat-mapped reporting per zone.

02
SPL Surveys

Sound-pressure-level measurement against design targets — ambient-noise margin verified, with adjustment of zone EQ and tap settings as required to achieve coverage uniformity.

03
Cause & Effect Testing

Every fire-alarm input simulated, every evacuation message verified, every zone-routing tested against the agreed cause-and-effect matrix.

04
EN 54 Integrity Tests

Fault simulation on every loudspeaker leg — short, open, earth fault — verifying detection within 100 seconds and continued service to all other zones.

05
Battery Standby Test

Full standby load test verifying 24h quiescent + 30min alarm capability per BS 5839-8 / EN 54-4 — with battery health logged for the maintenance baseline.

06
Operator Training & Handover

Role-specific training delivered in-person — system operators, fire wardens, building management — with a recorded training register signed off at handover.
