Following the Grenfell Tower fire a Ministerial Working Group

recommended the following:

​

"Changes are needed to the simple guidance on escape. In [new] domestic buildings over 18m there should be two stairways and fire service activated evacuation sounders in each flat"

​

BS 8629:2019 is a new standard. It is the code of practice for the design, installation, commissioning, and maintenance of evacuation alert systems for use by fire and rescue services in buildings containing flats.

​

360Fire Limited can design, supply, install and commission EVAC-ALERT systems - a new BS 8629: 2019 compliant evacuation alert system from a number of specialist suppliers comprising a host of evacuation alert panels, flat/apartment interfaces and evacuation alert devices specifically designed to assist the fire and rescue services (FRS) in evacuating a high-rise residential building.

​

A range of 1 to 4 loop, 1 to 48 zone fully BS 8629: 2019 compliant evacuation alert panels, all housed in robust vandal­resistant locked GERDA cabinets with easy-to-operate evacuation toggle switches for use by the fire and rescue services.
