BS5839 or HTM 05 Fire Safety

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

  • I think it is al in the last sentence of the HTM requirement.


    Has a Fire Strategy for the building been produced?


    That determines the requirement. That said I am with the the fire officer as I can't see a risk assessment carried out by a fire engineer omitting the requirement for detection.
