New Guidance Notes On Fire Detector Applications

Commercial fire alarm installation, maintenance and servicing

The FIA, Fire Industry Association, have given new guidance for fire alarm detector applications and documentation of the selection.

“Fire detectors are selected depending on the nature of the protected area and the risks associated with it. Often, this involves utilising different fire detector technologies in order to meet the diverse needs of both fire detection and false alarm rejection in each scenario.

This document is intended to assist with the task of selecting and clearly recording the type, sensitivity and settings selected for all detectors, including multi-sensor detectors, relating to the perceived risks.”
