Fire Alarm Compliance & Legal Requirements (UK)

If you are responsible for a non-domestic premises, you are legally required to provide appropriate fire detection and warning systems.

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must ensure:

• Fire risks are identified and assessed
• Suitable fire detection is installed
