The fire alarm concept according to DIN 14675 Section 5 forms the basis for planning a fire alarm system. It takes into account the requirements of building law, the fire brigade, occupational health and safety, insurers and the building operator.
Thus, it summarises the basic requirements for system components as well as the connection to the fire brigade and other (fire protection) facilities. Accordingly, it is an essential component for optimal and legally compliant planning, installation and operation of the fire alarm system.
Fire alarm concept in detail
The fire alarm concept must be drawn up in close coordination with the authorities, fire brigade, insurer, specialist planner and installer.
The responsibility for the preparation, completeness and accuracy of the fire alarm concept according to DIN 14675 lies with the client of the fire alarm system. The client may commission a specialist company to prepare the concept.
The fire alarm concept according to DIN 14675 must contain at least the following information:
- Building description (type and use)
- Protection goal
- Scope of monitoring - categories 1 to 4
- System structure (incl. emergency power)
- Location or access to the FACP and FIZ
- Type of alarm (internal/external)
- Measures to prevent false alarms (based on environmental influences and disturbance variables)
- Connection to the fire brigade
- Specifications for fire control
- Specifications for documentation (operating log)
- Specifications for maintenance and testing
Let a fire alarm concept be created
The creation of a fire alarm concept requires expert knowledge of the legal requirements. The basis for this is the fire protection concept, the building permit or insurance requirements.
