recommendations of BS 5839: Pt.6 more clearly under stood, and to off er advice on how to design, install and maintain a system that meets the requirements, with reference to the 2004 amendments.
4 Further evidence of the vital importance of smoke alarms comes from American studies. In American States where residential f ire protection is m andator y , some 92% of homes have the required f ire alarm systems . 50% of ALL the f ire deaths which occur ha ppen within the 8% where no alarms are fitted.

7 BS 5839: Pt.6 - AN INTRODUCTION BS 5839: Pt.6 is not intended f or householders themselves, but to pro vide guidance and recommendations f or architects and other building prof essionals, enf orcing authorities , contractors and other s responsible f or implementing f ire precautions in buildings.

Fires caused by electrical appliances account f or some 10% of all household f ires, but result in only 6% of deaths . Electric blankets and bed w ar mer s cause 40% of all the deaths in f ires due to f aulty electrical appliances .
10 People with impaired mobility require more time to escape. They need the earliest possible warning of a fire and greater alarm cover age. The hearing impaired also have v er y particular needs, and these are dealt with later in this document.
SYSTEM PLANNING BS 5839: Pt.6 quite reasonably points out that, no matter how good the system is, people will only have an adequate chance of escape if there are enough detectors installed and if the alarms can successfully rouse them from sleep.

14 The Code also looks at a third type of alarm - heat. More emphasis is placed upon the use of heat alarms than previously . The Code recommends that they should comply with BS 5446: Pt.2 and suggests they be used where nuisance alarms from other sensor types are a concern.
P ositioning of Smoke Alar ms: There are a number of f actors one has to take into consider ation when positioning and maintaining a smoke alarm. The design and occupation of the premises will obvious.
