Fire alarm systems may be installed in buildings or premises to satisfy one, or both, of two principal objectives, namely
protection of life and protection of property. The objectives of a fire alarm may differ in time or place. Other possible
objectives exist, such as protection against business interruption that can be caused by false alarms and protection of the environment; these are likely to be satisfied by the recommendations in this standard for protection of property.
Fire alarm systems that are protecting property are different as the sound level requirement is not as critical, the fire alarm would usually be connected to the fire brigade and there may be additional fire detection as the building needs to be able to call the fire brigade when the building is not occupied. A fire alarm that is designed to protect property is under the “P” category of design fire alarm system.
