Regulations On Evacuation Systems
Origins of BS 8629:2019
On 24 June 2017, 72 people tragically lost their lives following a fire at Grenfell Tower in London. The fire was started by a malfunctioning fridge freezer, and quickly spread up the building’s exterior.
The subsequent review and lessons learned from this event have prompted several changes to how high-rise residential buildings should be constructed and managed, including the publication of BS 8629:2019, which is the British standard mapping out strict requirements for evacuation alert systems (EAS) to be utilised by Fire and Rescue Services (FRS) during times of emergency.
In conjunction with the introduction of BS 8629, accreditation has been established to ensure that only approved contractors can legally carry out the installation and maintenance of an EAS. Gemini AMPM is one of a limited number of contractors to hold this BAFE SP207 accreditation.
