It is now essential that all buildings with a fire alarm system have up to date, accurate Fire Alarm Zone Plans. (BS5839-1:2017)
What is a Fire Alarm Zone Plan?
A Fire Alarm Zone Plan is a layout of your building highlighting the areas of fire detection zones ie. where fire alarms are housed. The main purpose of a zone plan is to be able to immediately identify where any potential fire may have occurred. A Zone Plan shows the layout of the building and clearly highlights the separate fire alarm zones to help evacuations in an emergency situation.
Your Fire Alarm Zone Plan should include:
– Building name and levels;
– Escape routes and final exits;
– Circulation areas (corridors, stairs, lifts etc);
– A “You are here” identifier; and
– One Zone Plan per alarm and repeater panel.
Do I need a Fire Alarm Zone Plan?
The simple answer is YES!
If your local fire service visited your property for an inspection and you didn’t have a fire alarm zone plan located on, or near, your fire alarm control and repeater panels, you’d be flagged up for neglecting fire safety standards.This would be considered a non-conformance against the British Standard for design, installation, commissioning and maintenance of fire alarm systems in non-domestic premises.
