	BS 5839-1:2002 + A2:2008 Fire detection and fire alarm systems for buildings. Code of practice for system design, installation, commissioning and maintenance ISBN: 0580403769 Publication Date: 15/10/02 Pagination: 146 Replaces: BS 5839-1:1988 Replaced by: Notes: BS 5839-1:2002 provides recommendations for the planning, design, installation, commissioning and maintenance of fire detection and fire alarm systems in and around buildings, other than dwellings. It does not recommend whether or not a fire alarm system should be installed in any given premises. This British Standard covers systems that range from those comprising only one or two manual call points and sounders to complex networked systems that incorporate a large number of automatic fire detectors, manual call points and sounders, connected to numerous inter-communicating control and indicating panels. BS 5839-1 also covers systems that are capable of providing signals to initiate the operation of other fire protection systems and equipment (such as fire extinguishing systems, smoke control systems or automatic door release equipment) or safety measures (such as shut down of air handling systems, closing of oil or gas valves, or grounding of lifts). BS 5839-1:2002 applies to extensions and alterations to existing systems, at least in respect of the design, installation, commissioning and certification of the new work, albeit that the extended or altered system might not, overall, comply with the recommendations of this standard. BS 5839-1:2002 takes into account changes in technology, custom and practice and introduces some significant changes. Also available as part of KIT 7 and KIT 115.

The standard is used by enforcing authorities and contractors, and applies to a range of dwellings of all sizes. BS 5839-6:2004 supersedes BS 5839-6:1995, which is withdrawn. Important new changes include: special design requirements for fire detection and fire alarm systems in dwellings recommendations on domestic smoke alarms new technologies including multi-sensor detection, carbon monoxide detection and heat detectors fire warning systems for those with impaired hearing recommendations for limiting false alarms by appropriate system design, system management and improved technology an informative annex on how to approach risk assessment and determine system design.
