BS 8629:2019 is the new Code of Practice for the design, installation, commissioning and maintenance of evacuation alert systems for use by fi re and rescue services in England. In place since November 2019, this code of practice recommends the installation of a dedicated evacuation alert system intended for the sole use of the fi re and rescue services and separate from the building’s fi re alarm system. It is relevant to blocks of fl ats with a storey located at a height of more than 18 metres above ground level. Although not yet a legal requirement in England, evacuation alert control and indicating equipment (EACIE) installation is already mandatory in new buildings containing fl ats over 18 metres in Scotland and considered best practice by a number of fi re and rescue services.
