A fire system maintenance contract is a legal requirement in Saudi Arabia. Saudi Civil Defense requires documented maintenance of all installed fire protection systems as a condition of issuing and renewing building operational licences. Facilities without current maintenance records face formal deficiency notices at annual Civil Defense inspection, fines, and potential licence suspension that prevents the building from operating.
Multi Goals provides annual and monthly fire system maintenance contracts across Saudi Arabia. Based in Al Khobar and operating nationally, we maintain every fire protection system type and produce Civil Defense-compliant signed documentation after every visit. For multi-site portfolios we structure a single nationwide contract, one scope, one point of accountability, consistent documentation formats across all regions.
The biggest problem in the Saudi Arabia maintenance market is vague scope language. “Fire safety maintenance” without specifying which systems, which NFPA inspection intervals, and what documentation is produced after each visit will not satisfy Civil Defense licence renewal requirements. Before signing any maintenance contract, verify that the scope lists these three things explicitly.
What a Fire System Maintenance Contract Must Cover
A fire system maintenance contract must align with the NFPA standard applicable to each installed system type.
Saudi Civil Defense inspectors check compliance with these schedules at annual licence review.
___________
Fire Alarm System Maintenance, NFPA 72
Weekly rotating device sample tests covering all devices over the annual cycle (not a single annual visit), monthly fire alarm control panel and battery inspection, semi-annual full functional device testing, and annual comprehensive system inspection with signed certificates. All four levels must be documented for Civil Defense licence renewal. A “monthly visit” contract that does not include weekly sampling does not meet NFPA 72 requirements.
Sprinkler System Maintenance, NFPA 25
Weekly control valve inspection confirming all valves are in the open position and properly sealed, monthly waterflow alarm device testing, quarterly sprinkler head visual inspection for damage, corrosion, or paint coverage that would impair activation, and annual main drain test and full-flow commissioning retest. Main drain test results must be compared against the original commissioning test to identify any deterioration in water supply condition.
Fire Pump Maintenance, NFPA 25
Weekly no-flow churn run for both electric and diesel pumps under automatic controller, this verifies automatic start reliability and exercises the diesel engine. Monthly pump room inspection covering controller condition, all valve positions, coupling and bearing condition, and diesel engine oil, coolant, and fuel levels. Annual full-flow performance test comparing results against the original NFPA 20 acceptance test data to identify any performance deterioration.
Fire Extinguisher Maintenance
Annual inspection of all portable units, ABC dry powder, CO2 carbon dioxide, water fire extinguisher, wet chemical fire extinguisher, dry powder fire extinguisher, and automatic fire extinguisher units. Each inspection covers pressure gauge condition, tamper seal integrity, agent weight or pressure against the design charge, physical condition and label legibility, and hose and nozzle integrity. SASO-compliant service records produced after each inspection.
Gas Suppression Maintenance, FM200 and Novec 1230
Annual cylinder weighing for FM200, Novec 1230, and CO2 systems, recharge is triggered when agent weight loss exceeds 5% of the design charge. Detection circuit functional test, solenoid valve condition and operation check, nozzle integrity inspection, and room door seal and damper release condition verification. Cylinder weight records must be signed by a certifying engineer with Civil Defense authorisation.
