Fire Alarm System Categories
Fire alarm systems are generally classified into categories depending on the level of protection required. The appropriate category will depend on the premises layout, occupancy and how the premises are used.
Category M
Manual Systems
Manual fire alarm systems rely on occupants raising the alarm using manual call points, supported by sounders or alarms.
These systems are typically found in smaller or lower risk premises where automatic detection is not required.
Category L
Life Protection Systems
Life protection systems are designed to provide early warning to occupants in the event of a fire.
• L1 – Maximum life protection, with detectors installed throughout the building.
• L2 – L4 – Detection is defined in areas depending on risk and layout.
• L5 – Localised life protection for specific risk areas.
The level required depends on the size, layout and use of the building.
Category P
Property Protection Systems
Property protection systems are designed to reduce damage to the premises and contents by detecting fire early.
• P1 – Detectors throughout the building for maximum property protection.
• P2 – Detection in defined high risk areas only.
These systems are often used where protecting assets or maintaining business continuity is a priority.
