2 Ei ELECTRONICS - THE MANUF A CTURER Ei Electronics is Eur ope’s lar gest and most experienced manuf acturer of residential smoke and heat alarms . The company has built up a wealth of experience o.
recommendations of BS 5839: Pt.6 more clearly under stood, and to of fer advice on how to design, install and maintain a system that meets the requirements, with reference to the 2004 amendments.
4 Further evidence of the vital importance of smoke alarms comes from American studies. In American States where residential f ire protection is m andator y , some 92% of homes have the required f ire alarm systems . 50% of ALL the f ire deaths which occur ha ppen within the 8% where no alarms are fitted.
5 THE ESSENTIAL CHANGES T O BS 5839: Pt.6: 2004 – A T A GLANCE THE DOCUMENT ITSELF Each clause of the document is now split into 2 parts . Firstly , there is the commentar y – in italics – this sets out the reasoning behind what at first sight may appear to be arbitrar y recommendations.
6 SYSTEM V ARIA TIONS Where a modif ication to a system is made, the standard now refers to it as a ‘V ariation’ r ather than a ‘Deviation’, as the latter term implied that the system w as in some way inf erior .
7 BS 5839: Pt.6 - AN INTRODUCTION BS 5839: Pt.6 is not intended f or householders themselves, but to pro vide guidance and recommendations f or architects and other building prof essionals, enf orcing authorities , contractors and other s responsible f or implementing f ire precautions in buildings.
8 On the other hand, a low f ire risk may not justify the cost, complexity and extent of such a system. For example, the single occupant of a small bung alow might be adequately protected b y the inst.
Fires caused by electrical appliances account f or some 10% of all household f ires, but result in only 6% of deaths . Electric blankets and bed w ar mer s cause 40% of all the deaths in f ires due to f aulty electrical appliances .
10 People with impaired mobility require more time to escape. They need the earliest possible warning of a fire and greater alarm cover age. The hear ing impaired also have v er y particular needs, and these are dealt with later in this document.
SYSTEM PLANNING BS 5839: Pt.6 quite reasonably points out that, no matter how good the system is, people will only hav e an adequate chance of escape if there are enough detectors installed and if the alarms can successfully rouse them from sleep.
12 equipment to BS EN 54-2, and power supply to BS EN 54-4, installed to BS 5839: Pt.1 with some minor exceptions • Grade B - Fire detection and alar m system comprising fire detectors (other than s.
and principal living room (smoke detectors are an accepta ble alternative in the living room). Existing Properties Single storey - owner occupied Grade F , Categor y LD3 Grade E should be installed if there is doubt regarding the ability of the occupier to replace batteries , or Grade D if the reliability of the mains pow er supply is suspect.
14 The Code also looks at a third type of alarm - heat. More emphasis is placed upon the use of heat alarms than previously . The Code recommends that they should comply with BS 5446: Pt.2 and suggests they be used where nuisance alarms from other sensor types are a concern.
P ositioning of Smoke Alar ms: There are a number of f actors one has to take into consider ation when positioning and maintaining a smoke alarm. The design and occupation of the premises will obvious.
16 In the ev ent of a f ire being detected, a small vibr ating pad located beneath the sleeper’s pillo w gently alerts them. At the same time a pow erful strobe light f lashes to pro vide a fur ther visual warning.
