As the Responsible Person it is important to demonstrate you have acted with due diligence to source a competent provider for these works.
The type and category of system you require should be determined a risk assessment and installed, commissioned and maintained in accordance with BS 5839-1 fire detection and fire alarm systems for non-residential buildings or BS 5839-6 for residential buildings.

A fire alarm system typically consists of several components that work together to detect and alert people to the presence of a fire.
When a smoke detector senses smoke, it sends a signal to the control panel. The control panel then processes the signal and activates the alarm sounders if it determines that a fire is present. The alarm sounders will then make loud noise to alert people in the building to evacuate.
