FIRE SAFETY “We’ve lived by BS 5839-6 for almost a quarter of a century now and the standard has served us well. There’s no doubt that it has helped to save lives. BS 5839-6:2019 builds on the success of the original document” ‘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 being essential. Many RSLs have been moving towards LD2 systems over the past year in the anticipation of the revisions and we’re now witnessing a large number rewriting their alarm specifications accordingly and planning upgrade programmes as part of their overall process. With the 2019 revisions, we’ve benefited 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 in terms of installation. Some of this cost can be mitigated by using wireless alarm interconnection technology and by employing alarms that have been designed to be quick and easy to install. Control and maintenance With larger fire alarm systems come 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. 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, subsequently adding an extremely valuable extra measure of controllability to an LD2 system. We’ve lived by BS 5839-6 for almost a quarter of a century now and there’s no doubt that the standard has served us well. There’s also no doubt that it has helped to save lives. BS 5839- 6:2019 builds on the success of the original document and, if adhered to in the correct manner, should always ensure greater safety and even better practice across the industry. www.fia.uk.com
