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.
