QR labels on fire stopping, so the next visit finds them.

Section 01How to do it

1. 01

   Agree the item IDs first

   As with doors, the label is only as good as the identity under it. Print after the register is settled, never before.

2. 02

   Test the print before a whole run

   Print one and scan it in the light you will actually have. A riser at eight in the morning is not a desk.

3. 03

   Place them where they survive

   Next to the item, on a surface that will not be painted over, re-boarded or wiped weekly. Being consistent beats finding the perfect spot.

4. 04

   Set the access rules

   Decide what a scan shows. Where the record holds sensitive detail, protect it rather than assume nobody will scan it.

5. 05

   Check the whole run once

   Scan every label on the day it is fitted. A wrong tag found later undermines the register it was meant to serve.

Section 02What the app actually does here

• Each fire stopping item can carry its own QR tag, made from its record
• Labels print as an A4 sheet, or as pictures for a label printer on tape or label rolls. Print every item on the survey at once, one floor, or only items never printed
• A single label can also be previewed from the item and saved as an image
• Scan an item’s code on the dashboard to reach its survey or defect
• If you use the labels already on your items, record that code instead. Scan or type it during capture, or add it later from the QR tab
• Scanning opens the item record, its photographs and the tested system used
• A tag can be removed and made again if a label is damaged or replaced
• The scan link carries a signed token, so a tag opens exactly one item and cannot be guessed
• The tag survives a re-survey. The building register keeps one row per item, and a later survey recognises its code and fills in its details

Section 03What goes wrong

Every one of these has cost somebody real time. They are cheap to avoid and expensive to unwind.
