BS5839 or HTM 05 Fire Safety

Adrian B
Afternoon All


Hopefully there is someone out there to provide some advice as I am somewhat stumped on this topic....


Can anyone advise whether BS5839 takes precedence over HTM 05, or, visa versa?


Currently working on a project and the incumbent fire alarm specialist is adamant that the HTM's take precedence, but, the Fire Officer believes that the BS does.


Cheers as always for any opinions and advice.


Regards


Adrian.

    Both documents complement one another.


    HTM 05 says.


    3.3 Health Technical Memorandum 05-03 Part B – ‘Fire detection and alarm systems’ provides general principles and technical guidance on the design, specification, installation, commissioning, testing, operation and maintenance of fire alarm systems in healthcare premises. It should be read in conjunction with BS 5839-1 and the relevant parts of BS EN 5


    The Fire Strategy for the building will determine the requirements for the fire alarm system which will need to comply with BS 5839 and certified to that standard before handing over to the responsible person to sign for acceptance.
