BS 8629:2019

This British Standard gives recommendations for the design, installation, commissioning and maintenance of evacuation alert systems for use by the fire and rescue service in buildings containing flats. Within this British Standard, both single-storey flats and maisonettes are described by the generic term “flats”, other than when, for the purpose of a specific recommendation, the term maisonette is used. This British Standard does not recommend whether or not an evacuation alert system is to be installed in any given building. Typically, the application for these systems are high-rise blocks of flats, but the scope of this British Standard includes systems installed in any building containing flats, regardless of height.Cross References:BS EN 50200:2015BS 5446-3:2015BS 7629-1BS EN 54-2LPS 1175: Issue 8.0:2018BS EN 61386 (all parts)BS 4678-4BS EN ISO 13943BS 7671BS 8434-2BS EN 54-17BS EN 60702-2BS 7846BS EN 1303BS EN 54-25BS 5499-10BS EN 54-3STS 205: Issue 4:2019BS EN 60702-1BS EN 54-4Electricity at Work Regulations 1989Construction Products Regulations 2013BS 5839-9BS EN ISO 9001Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005BS EN 62305 (all parts)BS 476 (all parts)Scottish Building Standards Technical Handbook 2019Fire (Scotland) Act 2005Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006BS 5839-8Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004BS 7273-6BS 5839-6 BS 7984 (all parts)BS EN 54-23BS 5839-1:2017
