Fire Alarm Zone Plans
What is a Fire Alarm Zone Plan? | Understanding BS5839-1:2025 Compliance .
A Fire Alarm Zone Plan is a clear, diagrammatic representation of a building, showing: All building entrances and exits Main circulation areas (corridors, stairwells) Clear divisions into fire alarm zones In line with BS5839-1:2025, these plans must be installed next to each Control and Indicating Equipment (CIE) — typically a fire alarm control panel or repeater panel. The illuminated zone indicator on the control panel corresponds to the zones on the plan, allowing for a rapid and informed response.
Why Fire Alarm Zone Plans are Essential for BS5839-1:2025 Compliance
A Fire Alarm Zone Plan is not just a recommendation — it’s a requirement under BS5839-1:2025. These plans play a critical role in: Guiding emergency responders to the exact location of an alarm activation Ensuring quick identification of fire zones Complying with fire safety regulations Assisting responsible persons in managing fire alarm activations Failure to have an accurate, up-to-date zone plan may be recorded as a major non-compliance during fire alarm system maintenance.
