JAFZA Fire Pump Test Certificate
A JAFZA fire pump test certificate is the annual, DCD-approved third-party document certifying that your facility fire pump — main, jockey and diesel where present — was tested for pressure, controller logic and running performance, with your plot number stated on the certificate.

A weak pump is the most common JAFZA failure
The fire pump is the heart of the fire fighting system, and an untested or underperforming pump is one of the most common reasons a JAFZA facility fails its annual compliance check. The pump room gets inspected first for a reason.
- Inspectors prioritise the pump room on an annual visit.
- A failed pump can stall your whole certificate.
- Pressure and running performance must be demonstrated.
- Batteries and fuel for diesel pumps are checked.
- Defects must be rectified before certification.
What the annual pump test covers
The test covers the main, jockey and — where present — diesel pump, controller logic, suction and discharge pressures, valve positions, battery and fuel, and a full running test under load.
- Main pump start, pressure and cut-out.
- Jockey pump function and pressure maintenance.
- Diesel pump start, run, battery and fuel checks.
- Controller logic and alarm signalling.
- Suction/discharge pressures and valve positions.
The certificate, with your plot number
After a successful test, the DCD-approved third-party certificate is issued for your plot. Where QSERV also holds your AMC, the pump maintenance record and the certificate stay aligned.
- DCD-approved third-party certificate for the pump.
- Facility or plot number stated clearly.
- Defect rectification documented before issue.
- Copy retained for JAFZA submission.
- Renewal reminder before expiry.

Frequently Asked Questions
Direct answers for JAFZA tenants on the annual fire pump test certificate.
Why is the fire pump tested first in JAFZA inspections?
The fire pump supplies pressure to the entire fire fighting network, so a DCD inspector typically examines the pump room first. A weak or untested pump is a common cause of failed JAFZA compliance checks.
What does the fire pump test certificate cover?
It covers the main, jockey and diesel pumps where present, controller logic, suction and discharge pressures, valve positions, battery and fuel, and a running test under load.
Does the pump certificate need my plot number?
Yes. JAFZA requires your facility or plot number to be stated clearly on the test certificate, including for the fire pump.
How often is the pump test required?
At least annually for the JAFZA certificate. Pumps are also commonly run-tested more frequently under the AMC to catch problems early.
What if the pump fails the test?
The defect must be rectified before the certificate is issued. QSERV identifies the fault, repairs it, retests, and then proceeds with certification.
