Have your say on fire detection and fire alarm systems for buildings

BS 5839-1 Fire detection and fire alarm systems for buildings Part 1 has been opened for public comment.

ECA and FSA Members who work with this Standard are encouraged to share their views on the new draft before April 16th.

This part of BS 5839 gives recommendations for the design, installation, commissioning and maintenance of fire detection and fire alarm systems in and around buildings, other than domestic premises. It does not recommend whether or not a fire detection and fire alarm system should be installed in any given premises.

To access the proposed Standard please visit the BSI Standards Development page here, and submit your comments by logging onto the BSI website.

FSA Members can send comments to the FSA Committee to be considered as part of a combined FSA submission. Please email FSA Secretary Mike Smith at mike.smith@eca.co.uk to do so.
