Designed to work with widely available Apollo XP95 or HochikiESP analogue addressable fire alarm systems, it meets and exceeds therequirements of BS 5839 part 6 (the code of practice for fire alarmsystems in dwellings) by providing reliable, fully monitored firedetection, alarm and silencing facilities INSIDE each individual flator apartment.
In a bid to reduce this figure, the standard specifies minimumgrades and categories for fire alarm systems in dwellings. For HMOdwellings, it recommends at least Grade D (mains/battery poweredsmoke/heat alarms) and Category LD2 or LD3 systems (detectors in allcirculation spaces forming part of its escape routes). It alsoacknowledges the need for a BS 5839 part 1 system in all HMO communalareas.

On most current single system solutions, silencing the alarmsounders can only be done at the communal fire panel which is usuallylocated outside the dwelling. To initiate this facility, the occupiermust first locate the communal panel, enter its secure user mode andwork out which button to press - all within two minutes. On this pointalone it is clear such systems cannot comply with the clauses nor thespirit of BS 5839 part 6. The Hush Button solution not only has theability to meet the requirements of BS 5839 part 6 in full, it exceedsthem.

BS 5839-6:2019+A1:2020 Fire detection and fire alarm systems for buildings - Code of practice for the design, installation, commissioning and maintenance of fire detection and fire alarm systems in domestic premises
BS 5839-6 outlines recommendations for the planning, design, installation, commissioning and maintenance of fire detection and fire alarm systems in domestic premises designed to accommodate a single family, in houses of multiple occupation that comprise a number of self-contained units (each designed to accommodate a single family) and in sheltered housing (including both the dwelling units and the common areas).
The changes to BS 5839-6 will be of interest to architects and other building professionals, enforcing authorities, system installers and those responsible for implementing fire precautions in domestic premises.
The Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) is the official legal print publication containing the codification of the general and permanent rules published in the Federal Register by the departments and agencies of the Federal Government. The Electronic Code of Federal Regulations (eCFR) is a continuously updated online version of the CFR. It is not an official legal edition of the CFR.
BS 5839 Part 1[1] provides recommendations for the planning, design, installation, commissioning and maintenance of fire detection and fire alarm systems for non-domestic premises. Recommendations for fire detection and fire alarm systems in domestic premises are given in BS 5839-6. It does not recommend whether or not a fire detection and alarm system should be installed in any given premises, nor does it provide any exceptions for non-domestic premises which are under construction.
BS 5839 Part 1[1] does not cover systems whose primary function is to control or extinguish fire (such as sprinklers or automatic extinguishing systems), but does cover the secondary alarm signal generated by such systems. It also does not cover voice alarm systems (which are separately addressed in BS 5839-8), or systems that integrate fire alarm functions with non fire related functions. It also does not cover manually or mechanically operated notification devices, such as hand-cranked bells.
Fire detection and alarm systems are installed in premises in order to protect either life, property or both. Other objectives, such as the protection against business interruption or protection of the environment are likely to be met by the recommendations of BS 5839 Part 1.[1]
No recommendations are made in BS 5839 Part 1[1] as to which (if any) category to specify for any given premises (although it does include examples of typical categories of typical buildings in Annex A). System category recommendations can be found in BS 9999.
BS 5839-9:2011, Fire detection and fire alarm systems for buildings. Code of practice for the design, installation, commissioning and maintenance of emergency voice communication systems, part 9 in the series of national standards, covers the design, installation and maintenance of emergency voice communication systems where they form part of a fire safety strategy. The 2011 version replaced an earlier 2003 version and reflects more recent regulatory and legislative requirements for building evacuation, including for people with a disability.[3]
The term fire detection and fire alarm systems, in the context of this part of BS 5839, includes 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.
The term also includes 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 shutdown of air handling systems, closing of oil or gas valves or grounding of lifts). It does not apply to the other systems and equipment themselves, or the ancillary circuits to interface with them. Recommendations for the planning, installation and servicing of facilities for operation of certain fire protection systems by the systems addressed within this part of BS 5839 are given in BS 7273 (all parts).
This part of BS 5839 does not cover systems whose primary function is to extinguish or control fire, such as sprinkler or automatic extinguishing systems, even though they might have a secondary alarm function; it does, however, cover the use of a signal from an automatic extinguishing system as one initiating element of a fire alarm system (e.g. by use of a pressure or flow switch).
Recommendations for fire detection and fire alarm systems in electronic data processing installations and similar critical electronic equipment rooms are given in BS 6266, which provides recommendations over and above those given in this part of BS 5839.
This part of BS 5839 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, conform to the recommendations of this standard. 2ff7e9595c
