[QUOTE="Tom Forsyth, post: 468063, member: 30349"] There is a lot of talk of illegal practice, dangerous, etc. You have to be careful what words are used. BS-5839 is there as a best practice, a guideline. BS-5839 is not legally enforceable, there is no legal requirement for any one or any company to have a fire alarm. Insurance companies are the main drive for Fire Alarm Installations and maintenances, they say if you don’t have it we won’t insure you. Local Authorities also drive the installation and maintenance of fire alarms, you don’t have it they won’t pass the building as fit for purpose. However back to the original question, it is best practice to fit the fire panel or a fully functional repeater at the main point of entry for the Fire Brigade so see. [/QUOTE]
