Commercial safety and security systems: functions, requirements and standards
Emergency lighting, fire alarms, CCTV and access control systems serve different purposes. Understanding their functions, installation considerations and relevant standards can help you make informed decisions about protecting your premises.

Suitable coverage, illumination, battery duration, inspection and testing, with reference to relevant BS 5266 guidance and the premises’ fire safety requirements.
Fire alarms
Detects signs of fire and provides a warning to building occupants through suitable alarm devices.
The fire risk assessment, suitable system category, detector coverage, warning arrangements and relevant BS 5839-1 recommendations for non-domestic premises.
CCTV
Monitors selected areas to support premises security and provide footage of relevant activity.
Camera positioning, image quality, lighting, recording security, retention periods, appropriate signage and applicable data protection obligations.
Access control
Manages entry to buildings and restricted areas using suitable credentials, readers or door entry equipment.
