What it needs
The tests, weekly to annual
Illustration only. This model shows how a fire alarm system and the fire safety around it work. It is not a design for any real building: the number and position of detectors, call points, sounders, emergency lights, extinguishers and fire doors in it are not the ones your building would need. Every real system is designed for its building after a survey and the fire risk assessment, to BS 5839-1, BS 5266-1 and BS 5306.
