Prefazione

The critical importance of the BS 8629 Code of Practice The tragedy of Grenfell, and many other tall building fires, serve as stark reminders that the unthinkable can happen.

Clear, efficient evacuation procedures form an important part of ensuring life safety, so any measures that can be put in place to support them must be wholeheartedly welcomed.

As such, the development and publication of BS 8629 marked a critical turning point. The introduction of dedicated evacuation alert systems in residential buildings containing flats, is an important step in helping guard against future loss of life. They also give our fire and rescue service personnel a far better chance of achieving the successful outcomes they strive for.
Although the code of practice recommendations have been written with new buildings as their focus, the guidance should be taken as best practice for any tall residential building.
Since December 2022, an evacuation alert system has been required in England and Scotland for new residential buildings. We urge you to work with your local fire and rescue service to check if an evacuation alert system is required or is advisable in your property, so we can all play our part in creating a safer future.

What is BS 8629?

BS8629:2019+A1:2023
BSI Standards Publication
Design, installation, commissioning and maintenance of evacuation alert systems for use by fire and rescue services in buildings containing flats ­ Code of practice

BS 8629 is the British Standards Institution, code of practice for the design, installation, commissioning and maintenance of evacuation alert systems for use by fire and rescue services in buildings containing flats.
The code of practice recommendations are for new buildings containing flats and are equally relevant as best practice for existing buildings too.

Why has BS 8629 been developed?

How was BS 8629 developed?

In the past, when fires have occurred in a tall residential building with a `stay put policy’ in place, it has been common practice for the fire and rescue service to evacuate the occupants of the affected flat only. On rare occasions, the occupants of nearby or adjacent flats would be evacuated too. Notification has been by means of fire and rescue personnel physically knocking on doors as there was no other effective way of alerting occupants.
When attending a fire incident, initial resources are ideally focused on firefighting. In cases where more widespread evacuation is necessary, having an evacuation alert system in place enables occupants of flats to be effectively alerted by the fire and rescue service’s incident commander without diverting efforts away from essential firefighting operations.

The principles of BS 8629 were formed as part of a review of Scottish Building Standards before the Grenfell Tower tragedy of June 2017. However, its recommendations came into sharp focus following that incident.
On 30 October 2019 the Grenfell Tower Inquiry Phase 1 report was published, and contained recommendations that `all highrise residential buildings [both those already in existence and those built in the future] be equipped with the means for fire and rescue services to send an evacuation signal to the whole, or a selected part, of the building by means of sounders or similar devices’.
Since 1 October 2019 following the publication of the Phase 1 report, the provision of an evacuation alert system conforming to the BS 8629 code of practice became mandatory in Scotland. From December 2022, it is required in England in accordance with Building Regulations Approved Document B: Fire Safety.

What are the key points of BS 8629 that I need to meet?

The code of practice recommends the installation of EACIE (evacuation alert control and indicating equipment) which should be independent of fire detection systems and designed to support any evacuation strategy chosen by the fire and rescue service.
The EACIE must be housed in a tamperproof enclosure, and access must be restricted to use by the responsible person and fire and rescue service only, by means of a special key.

About Advanced

Il tamper-proof enclosure
We’ve developed our robust, tamper-proof enclosure in collaboration with leading experts in the field, Gerda. Members of the Gerda team worked closely with the authors of the BS 8629 code of practice to develop the specification of the panel housing and ensure maximum security for this critical equipment.
As the evacuation alert system is intended for exclusive use by the fire and rescue service, it is only accessible by fire and rescue service (FRS) personnel using a unique key.
· Enclosure security rating STS 205: Issue 7 · The enclosure must be able to withstand a physical
attack from hand tools such as a hammer for 3 minutes · `EACIE: For Fire and Rescue Service Use Only’ sign fixed
to cabinet door · The patented keylock is operated by copy-protected
keys carried by the FRS, meeting BS EN 1303:2015.

View panel status
· In the context of BS 8629, text displays are not required for presenting information to the fire and rescue service ­ a manual control switch with LED is sufficient
· This provides a simple, `at a glance’ overview of which evacuation zones are operating, with no need for manual intervention
However, service and maintenance engineers do need access to more detailed information.
· The virtual display enables the maintenance engineer to work on the panel remotely
· All programming and servicing can be undertaken on a laptop connected to the EvacGo using Advanced’s DynamixTools PC programming software.

· Intuitive programming software for easy programming and servicing

Considerazioni sulla progettazione

The BS 8629 code of practice provides comprehensive information on matters relating to installation and configuration and should be consulted for full details.

For ease, the following acts as a summary of some critical considerations:
Evacuation alert systems:
· Are independent of the fire detection system and intended for use by the FRS only
· Are intended as a tool to assist the FRS in evacuating a building
· Must be designed in consultation with the FRS
· Must include evacuation alert sounders in each flat that are operated by the FRS via the EACIE only
· Must not incorporate automatic fire detectors or manual call points
· Should not interface with other systems or equipment e.g: lifts, gas valves, air handling systems, smoke control systems
· Can interface with radio transmission equipment for the hard of hearing, a social alarm system, equipment for transmission of a fault to a remote location or a system status including diagnostic and test facility
· In the absence of a British, European or international standard for the Evacuation Alarm Control and Indicating Equipment (EACIE) to be certified against, the EACIE must be `fit for purpose’
· There should be a clear visual indication within or immediately adjacent to the EACIE cabinet, of any flats that do not have an evacuation alert sounder fitted.

In buildings with 10 storeys or fewer:
Two simultaneous faults on an evacuation alert device circuit should not disable the evacuation alert devices on more than half the number of storeys with flats

The importance of evacuation alert zones

The design of each EvacGo is based on the number of evacuation alert zones required in the building where it will be used. Why is this important?

Evacuation alert systems are particularly critical in larger and more complex buildings where the fire and rescue service may decide to evacuate all of the flats on one (or more) storey(s) or only one part of a single storey containing many flats.
To support these scenarios, the building needs to be divided into a number of individual evacuation alert (EA) zones. This ensures that EA device status in one EA zone is independent of the status of EA devices in all other EA zones.
By grouping EA devices in this way, occupants of one EA zone required to leave the building can be told to do so without alerting occupants in areas required to `stay put’. To support this ability, it’s important that the evacuation alert signal in one EA zone is not readily audible in any other EA zone.
If a fault or short circuit occurs on an EA device in a flat or a number of flats, the fault should only affect the flat in which the fault occurs. All other flats should not be affected.

Evacuation alert zone recommendations
· Each evacuation alert (EA) zone must operate independently
· The EA signal in one zone must not be readily audible in another
· No EA zone should extend beyond a single storey of the building
· A common EA signal should be used throughout all EA zones
· No two-stage EA signals should be given
· Premises management should ensure the fire and rescue service agrees the configuration of EA zones and, where relevant, the appropriate building control body should be consulted too.
Evacuation alert sounders and audibility
· The EA signal needs to be: ­ clearly distinguishable from any other alarm signal ­ at least 60dB in habitable rooms with door closed and should be at least 85dB at the doorway of each bedroom (with the door open)
· A single EA device (sounder ­ with or without visual alert) within each flat will usually be sufficient
· Where additional sounders are needed, a larger number of quieter sounders is preferable to a single very loud sounder
· Wireless audible devices are permitted.

Evacuation alert isolators
· The configuration of the evacuation alert system requires a different approach to that of a normal BS 5839 Part 1 system. Please ensure you have a complete proposal, or ask for guidance
· The addition of two standalone isolators per flat is one way that you can meet the BS 8629 installation requirements.

Inside the flat

A competent person should commission the system. During commissioning they should check:
· Sound pressure levels in all flats
· All manual controls (toggle switches) and LEDs operate correctly
· There is adequate labelling for each evacuation alert zone
· Long-term maintenance consumables are itemised and included in handover pack.
Once commissioning is complete, a certificate is issued to premises management ­ signed by the competent person confirming the system’s conformity.

16

17

Siting the evacuation alert panel

The EACIE should be sited inside the building in a location where fire fighters, responding to a fire, can easily find and operate the controls and see its indications.
This will normally be on a wall close to the building’s normal fire and rescue service entry point and should be readily accessible at all times.

Example of wired evacuation alert system

Building entrance
EACIE should be sited at an appropriate location within the building

Building entrance
Top of manual controls to be no more than 2.2m from floor level

Building entrance
Bottom of panel no less than 1.4m from ground level

Building entrance
There can be more than one EACIE in a building

Building entrance
Emergency lighting within 2m of EACIE

Example of wireless evacuation alert system

Siting the evacuation alert devices
There are two key considerations when siting evacuation devices: · Ensuring adequate audibility/visual
awareness · Avoidance of casual tampring.
Raccomandazioni
· In every flat, an evacuation sounder should be installed within the hallway and, for larger/open-plan flats, a sounder should also be sited in the room into which the entrance door opens
· All devices should be installed on walls at a height not more than 150mm below ceiling level, or on a ceiling.

From temporary `simultaneous evacuation’ to `stay put’ ­ with ease

If you’re looking for the safest and most cost-effective way to support a temporary change to a `simultaneous evacuation’ strategy in blocks of flats undergoing remedial cladding work, we have the solution.

Replacing combustible external wall systems is now a top priority, but ensuring residents are safe from fire before, during and immediately after remedial work is completed, presents many challenges.
Our approach ensures you’re following the National Fire Chiefs Council recommendations for best practice as well as ensuring easy conversion to the BS 8629 code of practice after the `stay put’ policy is reinstated.

Following agreement with a competent person that installing a `common fire alarm’ is the right solution for the building, a BS 5839 Part 1, category L5 fire alarm system should be fitted ­ before cladding removal starts.
Advanced’s MxPro 5 fire panels are fully compliant with all the required standards and deliver unrivalled performance, quality and ease of use.
Intuitive programming, comprehensive cause and effect, powerful diagnostic

features and compatibility with four leading detector protocols bring the highest levels of protection for residents ­ and peace of mind for you.
Once cladding removal is complete, returning your building to `stay put’ status is easy.
As our EvacGo evacuation alert panel is designed using MxPro 5 technology, swapping your fire alarm system to an evacuation alert system couldn’t be simpler ­ whether you’re using wired, wireless or hybrid devices.

Domande frequenti
Considerations when ordering 1. Can I buy the full evacuation alert system from Advanced?
EvacGo is available as a full system or panel only. There are flexible options to suit your building needs; you can choose from wired, wireless and hybrid options and the panel is compatible with leading device protocols ­ Apollo, Argus and Hochiki. Contact your regional sales manager to discuss your building needs and whether the full evacuation alert system or the EvacGo panel will work best for you.
2. The standard was meant for new build, but I’ve got to look at a retrofit project. What should I be asking to get a price? Talk to your local building control and fire and rescue service about the evacuation strategy for the building. Their responses will determine the number of evacuation zones you need; the design of individual flats will determine the number of sounders needed for each flat. For further assistance contact our technical support team on: +44 (0)345 894 7000 or by email: tech@advancedco.com.
3. Can Advanced issue me with a template which details the questions I need to ask in order to prepare a specification for the panel(s) I need? Yes. Please contact your regional sales manager who will be happy to provide you with a template and answer any initial questions you may have.
4. What is the typical delivery time? As each panel is made to individual specifications, manufacture is estimated to take 10 to 12 weeks from order confirmation. Please speak to your regional sales manager for individual delivery estimates.
5. Are there any limitations to the EvacGo panel that would mean I need more than one on a particular site? There is no direct limitation. The EvacGo panel is a modular build and the loops can be expanded according to the size of the building. Additional enclosures can be mounted alongside but should also be in parallel (allowing sufficient access for the key which is side entry) in line with the recommendations (min/max mounting heights).
6. If I have more than one panel on site, will each one require its own individual key or can one key fit all? Each box has its own key specific to its locking mechanism. On order fulfilment Gerda will issue a key directly to the local fire brigade and premises management. This needs to be considered when placing an order, as premises management has to be identifiable so that the key can be issued directly.
7. If the EvacGo key is lost or stolen during servicing how can it be replaced without compromising the evacuation panel? When the security enclosure is ordered a key will be issued by Gerda to premises management. It is important not to lose the key as a potentially expensive replacement may be required to access to the enclosure for servicing and maintenance. To purchase a replacement key, please contact Gerda.
Meeting the standard 8. The security of the outer enclosure needs to meet STS 205: Issue 7 class BR2 ­ how does Advanced achieve this?
Advanced has partnered with cabinet specialists Gerda and is using their patented lock and box to provide an outer housing for the control equipment that meets the standards set out in BS 8629.
9. How many evacuation zones can I have? The Advanced solution is available in 8/16/24 and 32 zonal configurations. If your building has more than 32 evacuation zones, you will need a second controller.

10. Is your BS 8629 solution certified?
The BS 8629 Code of Practice calls for equipment that meets EN54 Parts 2 and 4. While it is not possible to certify a product to a code of practice, the Advanced evacuation control panel is based on the MxPro 5, which meets EN54 Parts 2 and 4. The outer housing is tested by Gerda to ensure it meets LPS1175.
11. Can the panels be flush-mounted into the wall and still meet the standard’s recommendations?
No. The keylock is side entry to maintain the integrity of the enclosure and locking mechanism provided, so must be surface mounted.
12. Can I combine an automatic fire detection system with an evacuation alert system? Clause 13.2.3 (a) of the BS 8629 standard states: No fire detection and fire alarm equipment should be connected to the EACIE e.g. manual call points, fire detectors or fire alarm control and indicating equipment. However, we are often asked if a temporary fire detection and alarm system could be re-configured to be an evacuation alert system and that is permitted, providing it meets clause 13.2.3.
13. What size batteries can I fit into the enclosure? 17Ah batteries can be fitted as standard. However, please ensure loop and battery calculations are performed prior to placing an order as a separate battery enclosure may be required mounted locally to the EvacGo. If the site has an auto starting backup generator and the building is manned by a member of the premises management 24/7, then 24hr standby is required. If not, 72hr standby is required, but this would make a significant impact on your battery back-up. If a battery enclosure for standby batteries is sited in an area accessible to unauthorised persons, the enclosure should be secure and satisfy the same recommendations as on page 25 of the EvacGo brochure.
Installation 14. Whose responsibility is it to consult with the fire and rescue service (FRS) for each installation?
Section 5 of the code of practice recommends that premises management or the purchaser of the system (or an appointed representative of these parties such as a consultant) consult the FRS prior to the system design stage.
15. If the main fire control panel is installed out of sight of the main entrance, with a repeater unit located in the main entrance, can the EvacGo panel be installed in the same place as the fire panel? The EvacGo panel must be installed in a location identified in consultation with the fire brigade and premises management (Code of Practice Section 13.2.1 (b)). Typically, this would be in close proximity to the normal fire and rescue service entry point.
16. Should each installation have a system for the hard of hearing as well? Potentially yes. In every flat, it should be possible to easily install additional evacuation alert devices for the hearing impaired. This is identified in section 11.2 of the Code of Practice. For example, this could consist of I/O devices or a junction box to which vibrating pillow pads etc. can be connected.
17. Who provides the radio site survey if using a wireless system?
You should contact the supplier of the wireless equipment for a suitable site survey. Any building requiring radio equipment should always be surveyed as best practice.
Formazione e supporto
18. How do I get to access level three to commission/service the system?
This is accessed using the PC-NET-004 remote terminal tool. If you need support with this please contact our technical support team on: +44 (0)345 894 7000 or by email: tech@advancedco.com.

Evacuation Alert Control and Indicating Equipment

BS8629 is the Code of Practice for the design, installation, commissioning and maintenance of evacuation alert systems for use by fire and rescue services in buildings containing flats. Advanced’s evacuation alert system has been developed with great care to follow all the recommendations of BS8629. Combining robustness and reliability with speed and simplicity, our evacuation alert system comes in a range of flexible formats with wired, wireless and hybrid options available.
The EvacGo panel is bu ilt using our industry- leading MxPro 5 panel technology and delivers proven performance, quality and ease of use. The panel is supplied with 8, 16, 24 or 32 fire fighter evacuation alert areas as standard, and is fully expandable from 1 to 4 loops. The panel includes the latest flash-based microprocessor technology and provides a simple, ‘at a glance’ overview of which evacuation zones are operating. The panel has a virtual display which enables the maintenance engineer to work remotely.
The panel is suitable for a wide range of site applications from small to large buildings containing flats. It is fully programmable on site, and all programming and servicing can be undertaken on a laptop connected to the EvacGo panel using Advanced’s DynamixTools PC programming software.
Outer cabinet: The Advanced EvacGo panel is supplied with the additional protection of an STS 205-rated high-tensile steel cabinet and should be sited at an appropriate location suitable for fire fighter access. The front of the cabinet is clearly labelled ‘For Fire and Rescue Service Only’. The cabinet incorporates a high-security locking mechanism with unique copy-protected keys that are carried by the FRS.
PC software: An extensive suite of user-friendly Windows-based PC software programs has been developed to enhance your experience when using EACIE panels. The suite incorporates a number of different programmes to include configuration, service and maintenance reports, and virtual terminal-type tools to allow the flexibility of the equipment to be fully explored.
Network: Simply adding a network card allows the panel to communicate with any other panel or network peripherals. The network operates as a true peer-to-peer system and can be configured in a fault-tolerant network format.
