Complete System Design
Cameo Systems Limited offers a comprehensive design service for emergency voice communications systems, disabled refuge, fire telephone and disabled toilet alarms.
Part M Building Regulations
Part M of the Building Regulations insists all new non-domestic buildings with more than one storey with lift access provide ‘refuge’ areas – relatively safe places for people who cannot use fire escapes. The emergency voice communications outstation can be used to call for assistance and reassure the person until help arrives.
BS 5839-9:2021
British Standard provides guidance for the design, installation, commissioning and maintenance of emergency voice communication systems.
BS 9991:2024
British Standard for fire safety in the design, management, and use of residential buildings. Disabled refuges are fire-protected, designated safe waiting areas for people who cannot use stairs, required in multi-story residential buildings. Key requirements include two-way emergency voice communication systems complying with BS 5839-9:2021, and direct access to fire-safe evacuation lifts or fire-protected staircases.
BS 9999:2017
British Standard for fire safety in the design, management, and use of buildings that will require an emergency voice communication system to be installed. The emergency voice communication system should conform to the recommendations of BS 5839-9: 2021.
We offer consultants assistance for these standards and can provide relevant specification templates to streamline your project.
