Whilst BS 5839‑6 has previously been split into six varying Grades, each outlining the level of protection appropriate for certain properties and their corresponding levels of risk, the new update has altered the six sections, removing Grade B and Grade E, whilst Grade D and Grade F have been split into Grade D1 / Grade D2 and Grade F1 / Grade F2 respectively. Grade C has been revised and its recommendations expanded.
The 2019 grading system is as follows:
Grade A
Separate detectors, sounders and central control and indicating equipment with back-up power supply that conforms to British Standards BS EN 54.
Grade C
Separate detectors and sounders that are mains powered with back-up power supply and central control equipment.
Grade D1
A system of one or more mains powered detectors, each with a tamper‑proof standby supply consisting of a battery or batteries (such as FireAngel’s SM-SN-1 and HM-SN-1 alarm).
Grade D2
A system of one or more mains-powered detectors, each with an integral standby supply consisting of a user‑replaceable battery or batteries. (such as FireAngel’s SW1-PF-T and HW1-PF-T alarm).
Grade F1
A system of one or more battery-powered detectors powered by a tamper‑proof primary battery or batteries (such as FireAngel’s ST-622T, ST-750 alarm).
Grade F2
A system of one or more battery-powered detectors powered by a user‑replaceable primary battery or batteries. (such as FireAngel’s SB1-T alarm).
Please note: Grades B and E are no longer defined in BS 5839-6:2019.

For maximum protection (LD1), smoke alarms should be installed in escape routes, all circulation areas, living rooms, bedrooms, airing cupboards, meter cupboards, lofts, and garages.

 

You may find the baseplate for your alarm is a little snug, which means it will need extra force to secure when fixing to the alarm. If the ‘lugs’ at the rear of the alarm can be seen, then the alarm will be secure and can be installed. However, if you’re unable to turn the baseplate enough for these to be seen then we can offer an alternative baseplate.

When fixing your alarm to the baseplate, it’s important to turn it as far as possible to ensure it is engaged and secure. If the ‘lugs’ at the rear of the alarm can be seen, then the alarm will be secure and can be installed. However, if you’re unable to turn the baseplate enough for these to be seen then we can offer an alternative baseplate.

Extend your protection

Protecting your properties and tenants is easier than ever with our range of smoke, heat, and carbon monoxide alarms. To ensure complete coverage, it’s essential to make sure you’re installing best practice and ensure compliance with your regional fire & CO safety laws.

For added peace of mind, upgrade to our Specification Range. These smart alarms, designed for social housing, can be interlinked (via hardwire or wireless) so when one alarm is triggered, all alarms in the property sound. Landlords can monitor and manage alarms remotely via the FireAngel Connected app, receiving device data and notifications without needing access to the property. The free app also allows for easy testing and instant notifications, showing the status of alarms, e.g. if they’ve been removed or need maintenance.

Get in touch today to see how our FireAngel Connected solution can support you and your tenants.
