Guest Hampshire Posted September 8, 2015 Report Posted September 8, 2015 Hi, We are removing a wall between our kitchen and hall in a domestic property, the property is over three floors. Building control have told us to consider a fire curtain and to conform to the BStandard part 6. I have a company to fit the curtain with a heat sensor in the kitchen, it is a period property and would be tricky/unsightly to wire in smoke detectors to the first and second floor landings. Would it be accepted to use wireless detectors in this situatioN. H. Quote
Tom Sutton Posted September 13, 2015 Report Posted September 13, 2015 I cannot give a definitive response to your situation without knowing a lot more about your proposals and assuming BStandard part 6 is BS 5839 part 6:2013. I am surprised Building control told you to consider a fire curtain because fire curtain will not control smoke and it appears your means of escape could be cut off in the early stages of a fire. Also did the BCO tell you which category of fire alarm should be used ? The use of wireless detectors is acceptable providing they are CE marked and meet the requirements of BS 5839. Quote
