FIRE SAFETY (continued from previous page) “We’ve lived by BS 5839-6 for almost a quarter of a century and the standard has served us well; there’s no doubt it has helped save lives. BS 5839-6:2019 builds on the success of the original standard” Implications for the Future BS 5839-6:2019 is a code of practice for fire detection and fire alarm systems in domestic premises, not a set of legal requirements; there is no penalty if an organisation or individual chooses to ignore the standard and no date for ‘compliance’. However, the standard is considered best practice and those who choose to ignore it do so at their own risk. Certainly, social housing organisations place great emphasis on it and complying with it is regarded as essential. Many RSLs have been moving towards LD2 systems over the past year in the anticipation of the revisions and we are now witnessing a large number rewriting their alarm specifications accordingly and planning upgrade programmes. With the 2019 revisions we have benefitted from greater clarity and, in a number of cases, an increase in the level of fire protection. Of course, with this comes a need for additional alarms per property which has an associated cost, not just in alarm units but also installation. Some of this cost can be mitigated by using wireless alarm interconnection technology and by using alarms that have been designed to be quick and easy to install. With larger Fire Alarm systems comes issues over control and maintenance as more alarms will need to be tested, it’s important to be able to locate the precise alarm which originally triggered the alarm. In these cases an Alarm Controller should be considered (especially important if a Carbon Monoxide Alarm is included in the system). These wall mounted devices feature test, silence and locate features, adding a very valuable extra measure of controllability to an LD2 system. We’ve lived by BS 5839-6 for almost a quarter of a century and the standard has served us well; there’s no doubt it has helped save lives. BS 5839- 6:2019 builds on the success of the original standard and, if adhered to properly, ensures greater safety and even better practice in the industry. www.fia.uk.com BE SMART!
