Changes to smoke alarm and fire protection legislation in Scotland have been agreed. These changes, will come into effect on 1st March 2019 and will be enforceable by February 2022. These will extend the already high standards of protection required for Fire and Carbon Monoxide (CO).
The proposals have been developed through a consultation process which originally began in September 2017 and have involved Housing Associations, Local Authorities, Letting Agents and Fire Safety Consultants. This will be a major change, being enforceable legislation through an amendment to the Tolerable Standard.
What has been proposed?
The new legislation states that all homes should have:
One smoke alarm in every circulation space on each storey, such as hallways and landings.
One smoke alarm installed in the room most frequently used for general daytime living purposes
One heat alarm installed in every kitchen.
All alarms should be interlinked.
Carbon monoxide detectors fitted where there is a carbon-fuelled appliance or a flue.
Will there be a requirement to link alarms?
There will also be a requirement for all alarms to be interlinked. Interlinking, or interconnecting alarms, means that all alarms in the home are connected so that if one of them is triggered, they all sound. Doing this increases the likelihood of occupants hearing and being able to respond to the alarm.
How do you achieve this?
You have two options, the first is hard-wiring. This is a method that has been around for a long time and essentially this means running a mains power supply and interconnect cable between all of the alarms in your home. In an existing building however, this would usually be disruptive and costly due to pulling up floors, installing unsightly trunking and general re decoration cost.
This is where the other option of wireless Radio Frequency (RF) interconnection comes in. Technology means that you now have the option to install the new 10 year sealed, wireless interlinked smoke and heat detectors for any non HMO registered properties. Existing alarms can also use RF bases under your alarms or insert RF modules into the alarm heads to achieve wireless interconnection and add further units. This means less disruption during installation and it increases the speed of installation. Cost will generally be in line with a mains powered system but the benefits of less install time and zero mess during install means this is now the preferred option.
How does the standard affect you?
For Private Landlords and Social Landlords, this standard will be added to your current standards. However, the biggest change will be for homeowners as although this will be in addition to BS 5839-6, it will be the first time in the UK that coverage will be enforced. This will be enforced by the Scottish Housing Regulator via methods such as Home Reports that are required when selling your home in Scotland.
We here at ndelect are experts in fire detection and the design of these systems and can advise whether or not you are meeting these standards.
A typical wireless 3 unit system ( 2 smoke detectors and 1 heat detector) will take around 45mins to install and is compatible with 80% of properties.
Costs are £260.00 and come with an approved installation certificate. Other options like wireless controllers (To silence any activated alarms or to test the system) and carbon monoxide detectors can be add to form a complete detection system for your home.
Please speak to one of our installers for more advise.
Yes we can! With the use of radiolink, we can ether add an RF module to your existing alarm or replace it with a compatible unit then add the new detectors required.
Yes we can! With Acio products we can interlink smoke, heat and carbon monoxide units to form a complete detection system within your home.
