Even though the chances of fire in a building are limited, the consequences of such an unfortunate event could be devastating. Legislation itself demands the taking of appropriate measures during the study and construction of buildings not only for the prevention of the risks but also for proper control.
Today, every modern fire protection system should include a complete network of reliable fire detectors that work without the slightest delay – always. Fire detection uses special temperature, flame, and smoke detectors. And through the appropriate systems the respective alarm is activated to then proceed to the proper handling of the situation, activating the extinguishing mechanism. The result being one: Quick and effective response to the risk.
Below, we list the special legislation that must be strictly followed for the correct installation of fire detection.
