All domestic properties across the UK should have quality alarms in place to detect and alert residents of potential fire.
Fire detection and alarm systems are designed to provide warning to the outbreak of fire and so allow the evacuation and appropriate fire-fighting action to be taken before the situation gets out of control. It is, therefore, vital that these systems are manufactured, installed, and maintained correctly to ensure their effectiveness in protecting lives and domestic property.
BS 5839-6 Fire detection and fire alarm systems for buildings - Code of practice for the design, installation, commissioning and maintenance of fire detection and fire alarm systems in domestic premises can help businesses ensure the performance of these systems, while minimizing incidences of product failure that could lead to adverse hazards and risks. Compliance with this standard is very commonly required by building control bodies, fire and rescue and other authorities throughout the UK who may enforce provisions for fire safety in certain occupancies.
Adopting BS 5839-6 can also prevent incidents of false and delayed alarms, while ensuring the necessary audibility of alarm devices. This can be particularly helpful for fire alarm warnings that are in use for people who are deaf or hard of hearing.
