CoP 001: Issue 1.0 Code of Practice for visual alarm devices used for fire warning
This Code of Practice has been jointly prepared by the Fire Industry Association and LPCB to provide guidance on how to install Visual Alarm Devices (VADs) approved to EN 54-23:2010.
As BS 5839-1:2002 (Fire detection and fire alarm systems for buildings- Code of practice for system design, installation, commissioning and maintenance) does not provide sufficient guidance for VADs, this CoP provides recommendations for the planning, design, installation, commissioning and maintenance of VADs in and around buildings.
