zone plans
BS 5839-1: 2017 states it is essential that all buildings with a fire alarm system have an up to date, accurate zone plan.
Evacuation plans
Under current legislation is is the duty of 'the responsible person' to provide an evacuation plan for all the people in the building.
A zone plan is a layout of the building, highlighting the areas of the fire detection zones. The main purpose of a zone plan is for the emergency services to accurately identify the location of a fire in the shortest time possible. In the event of a false alarm it can also help your fire service provider identify the detection area where the problem has occurred.
A zone plan is to be situated adjacent to the control panel. The plan should be clear, in the correct orientation with 'You are here' indicating your exact location.
