A reliable commercial fire alarm system is a legal requirement and a critical part of your building’s safety infrastructure.

UK Fire Alarm Regulations for Businesses
Under UK law, every business is required to have a suitable fire detection system. Key legislation and standards include:
🔹 The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005
This law applies to all non-domestic premises in England and Wales. It places legal responsibility on the "Responsible Person" — typically the employer, building owner, or occupier — to ensure that the premises meet fire safety requirements. This includes installing and maintaining an appropriate fire detection and alarm system.
🔹 BS 5839-1:2017 – Code of Practice for Fire Detection and Fire Alarm Systems
This British Standard outlines the best practices for designing, installing, commissioning, and maintaining fire alarm systems in non-domestic buildings. It categorises fire alarm systems into Category L (life protection) and Category P (property protection) to suit different risk profiles.
🔹 Fire Risk Assessment Requirement
Every commercial building must undergo a fire risk assessment, which will determine the appropriate type of fire alarm system required. This assessment should be reviewed regularly and whenever there are significant changes to the building or its use.
