- Abstract
- The EURALARM document "measures for reducing the level of unwanted alarms arising from fire detection and alarm systems" has been prepared by the Working Group 1. This document is a follow-up to an earlier Euralarm document, entitled "Study of Alarms". Its purpose is to recommend defensive and preventive measures that can be taken to reduce the level of unwanted alarms identified in the earlier study. Ideally they should be applied at the planning stage, but many of them may be of value in reducing unwanted alarms from existing installations. The advice provided is directed towards systems that may or not have connections to a fire brigade or a central monitoring station having the responsibility for summoning the fire service. As both products and systems will vary from company to company, these recommendations are general in nature and are not related to any specific technology or system concept. Also, no attempt has been made to cover forecasts and trends as again these would differ widely both from company to company and country to country. The recommendations being put forward in this document, can be expected to make a significant contribution to reducing the level of unwanted alarms from fire detection and alarm systems.
