Rethinking domestic safety

摘要

The definitive guidance for fire detection in housing is BS 5839-6:2013-6: 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. It covers both new and existing dwellings, whether for single families or houses in multiple occupation (HMOs) consisting of self-contained units. The new 2013 edition also includes sheltered housing for the first time - one of a number of apparently minor, but significant changes.
