A fire alarm system detects fire early, warns occupants, and helps protect people and property. A complete service covers the supply of suitable equipment, professional installation, and formal commissioning to verify that the system has been designed, set up, and tested correctly. For non‑domestic premises in the UK, systems are expected to meet the requirements of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and relevant standards such as BS 5839‑1, supported by a routine testing and maintenance regime.
