Hi guys,
A bit of confusion here regarding fire alarms in a 4 storey Building with 5 new flats. It's an existing building, and the top 3 floors are getting converted into flats with communal staircase to either side. We have been given conflicting advice.. the building inspector is saying Fire alarm system including break glass', detectors and sounders in the communal area's linked back to a panel also in the communal area, and then standard domestic interlinked mains powered smoke and heat alarms in each flat, However speaking to another electrician he has said that sometimes building control specify the same as above but also a detector in the hallway of each flat linked into the communal Fire alarm system. Do any of you know which is the right method? I'm looking online and through the books i have at home but i'l ask you lot while i[m searching.
thanks
