Fully Qualified for Total Peace of Mind.

Whilst it is technically possible for anyone can install a commercial fire alarm; it is strongly recommended that the installer has a good understanding of British Standard BS 5839 and be able to design and install a fire alarm system that meets these requirements. As fire detection and alarm systems are (almost all) electrical systems, it is also recommended that you engage an organisation cable and experienced in understanding and meeting the requirements of BS 7671 & the IET wiring regulations. we hold the BAFE SP203-1 accreditation in the installation of fire detection and alarm systems along with all the necessary electrical certifications from the NICEIC, which means we can handle all stages of the installation, including the provision of suitable electrical installation and power to the main fire alarm panel.

We are also an approved contractor by SAFE Contractor, CHAS and Construction Line. This ensures that our commercial fire alarm system installation team works to the latest standards, regulations, and certifications – and provides you with the most secure peace of mind.

Compliance with Fire Alarm Regulations

Regulations state that business owners must take ‘appropriate’ action to prevent fires from occurring, limiting the time taken to identify a live fire incident, eliminate the blaze, evacuate the building safely, and notify the emergency services.

All Commercial Fire Alarm Systems must comply with the following UK government regulations to ensure maximum safety and effectiveness:

1. British Standard BS 5839
This standard provides guidance on planning, insulation, commissioning and the maintenance of fire detection and alarm systems. The standard focuses on commercial properties, so is essential for business owners to understand.

2. The Regulatory Reform Order (RRO) 2005
The RRO applies to all non-domestic properties. It emphasises the importance of conducting fire risk assessments and implementing appropriate fire safety measures – which include fire detection and alarm systems.

3. BS EN 54
This regulation covers 27 various components of fire alarm systems, including:

• control panels

• sounders

• power supplies

• heat detectors

• smoke detectors

• flame detectors, and more

4. Health and Safety at Work
This act places responsibility on employers or business owners to ensure, as reasonably as possible, the health, safety, and welfare of all employees at their business, including fire safety.
