hi all
1st off let me say i've only been a member for a couple of months, but this is a great forum, and has already proved invaluable!
anyway
i've taken over the wiring on a block of 20 refurbished flats, and need some advice with the rules on fire alarms.
correct me if i'm wrong but my understanding was that there should be an individual smoke/heat alarm system in each flat, (standard domestic type system with interconnected detectors) AND a communal system run in firesure cable with a proper panel, which should also cover the individual flats as well. ie sounder and detector in each flat.
can anyone tell me if this is correct?
also, does anyone know where you can get a copy of BS 5839 for less than £140!!! (my boss is a cheapskate and im poor!)
many thanks
