Fire Safety Design – recommendations and stages

We have started to post on our blogs a series of recommendations about the fire safety design, which we categorized in 7 stages:

1. First Stage in Fire Design – Initial design considerations(sparks and here):
   - the relevant standards related to the fire safety;
   - systems for protecting property(P);
   - systems for protecting life(L and M);
2. The Second stage in Fire Design – The siting of manual call points(sparks and here):
   - areas where the manual call points should be sited;
3. The Third stage in Fire Design – Select the automatic detectors(sparks and here);
   - advice on how to avoid false alarms;
   - advice on other forms of detectors and their usage(like the fixed temperature heat detectors, the rate or rise heat detectors, the duct detectors, and the beam detectors);
4. The Fourth stage in Fire Design – The siting of the automatic detectors(sparks);
   - the spacing of detectors in normal applications;
   - the detector spacing for pitched roofs;
   - siting  detectors near obstructions or unusual ceilings;
   - siting optical beam detectors;
   - other considerations about the automatic detectors;
5. The Fifth stage in Fire Design – The choice and siting of the alarm devices(sparks – update!);
   - the alarm sounders;
   - the visual alarm devices;
6. The Sixth stage in Fire Design – The zoning of the building(sparks – update!);
   - other points applicable to detection zones;
   - the alarm zones; the zone integrity;
7. The Seventh stage in Fire Design – The selection of control and indication equipment(sparks – update!).
   - siting of the control and indicating equipment;
