Emergency Lighting Standards & Design Considerations

As our buildings get larger, and the internal spaces within these buildings increase, traditional point fire detection can’t always provide adequate and compliant coverage. In this CPD course we provide comprehensive insights into the better solution in these scenarios, beam smoke detection technology. It covers operational principles, component technology, and practical applications in large spaces and heritage buildings. The presentation details installation considerations, maintenance requirements, and regulatory compliance with UK/European standards including EN54-12 and BS 5839-1. Attendees will learn about advantages over traditional detection methods, critical installation factors, testing procedures, and emerging technologies.

The emergency lighting standard, BS 5266, was updated in November 2016. One on the key changes was the introduction of Emergency Safety Lighting, this change, amongst others, are explained in this presentation. This presentation addresses the amendments to BS5266, therefore the audience is expected to have existing knowledge of the standard.

This seminar explores the different approaches for designing and installing BS 5839 compliant fire detection into House In Multiple Occupancy (HMO). In particular, the approach of mixing Part 1 compliant (commercial) and Part 6 compliant (domestic) devices onto one system and whether this provides adequate protection for life and property across all possible fire risk scenarios.

With false alarms increasing year on year and the disruptive and financial impact this has on commercial entities, many fire and rescue teams are adopting what’s become known as the “Call Challenge” approach to fire incident reporting, in an effort to save costs and resources. This webinar explains what call challenge entails, how it could help in the fight against false alarms and at the same time advises building owners affected on the practical steps they can take to reduce false alarms in commercial premises.

Seminar explains the Industry Committee for Emergency Lighting (ICEL) registrations, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and current standards and provides an overview for the designing and positioning of emergency lighting luminaries, highlighting high risk areas and minimum levels of illumination. Also covers installation and maintenance processes.

False alarms have considerable impact in terms of costs and safety. Seminar explains the standards involved and the process of designing and selecting the correct system for the project, includes guidance on installation and maintenance and the ways and means of reducing false alarms.

This presentation provides an overview of compliance with the standards for a wireless fire detection installation. The concept of hybrid wireless fire detection systems and when they should be used is introduced. The different installation options are discussed and the technology behind a hybrid wireless system installation is explored. The types of hybrid wireless equipment available is covered and hybrid systems are summarised. Includes case studies.

A webinar explaining what the term “multi-sensor” truly means, and how end-users should be aware of the correct approvals for these types of fire detection devices. Not all multi-sensors are actually multi-criteria sensors and caution should be exercised when verifying approval certificates for these types of devices.

Seminar provides essential information on key points from the recently updated British Standard (BS) 5839 Part 1 , 2013. Covers practical advice on the selection, spacing and siting of detectors giving a clear, pictorial and comprehensive overview of all of the items that need to be considered when designing a fire detection and alarm system.

A webinar explaining what water leak detection is, what technologies are available, the financial implications of undetected water leaks, the main considerations for building owners and 5 practical applications for water leak detection.

Seminar provides an overview of the standards required for compliance of a wireless fire detection installation and introduces the concept of wireless systems. Covers the installation options, the different types of wireless equipment and the technology behind a successful wireless system installation.
