Fire detection and alarm systems in buildings

This document has been re-assessed by the committee, and judged to still be up to date.

The Building System Performance branch of MBIE has sponsored access to view and print a single downloadable PDF copy of this standard at no charge, which is available by clicking on this link.

Standards New Zealand also offers this standard to be purchased as Hard Copy or Online Library subscription.

Application of this Standard will help prevent loss of life and provide optimum fire protection for New Zealand buildings. The Standard provides up-to-date specifications for the design, manufacture, installation and maintenance of fire detection and alarm systems, whether operated manually or automatically, in the event of fire, enabling a fire warning from a fire alarm system in a building to operate at the earliest practicable moment to facilitate appropriate emergency measures. It is intended that this revised and updated Standard be used as an integral part of the Acceptable Solutions of the Compliance Documents to the New Zealand Building Code (NZBC), and also to facilitate New Zealand Fire Service approval of evacuation schemes under the Fire Safety and Evacuation of Buildings Regulations.
