We are delighted to announce that we have achieved BAFE Accreditation SP207 for Evacuation Alert Systems. Evacuation Systems are for the sole use of the Fire and Rescue Service to assist in evacuating people as safely and quickly as possible.
Alongside BS 8629, this accreditation demonstrates quality evidence of competency for the design, installation, commissioning and maintenance of evacuation alert systems.
The scheme was launched following the Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government publishing their outcome to the consultation regarding sprinklers and other fire safety measures in new high-rise blocks of Flats in May 2020.
Chris Auger, Director of Schemes, BAFE: “The demand shown following the MHCLG consultation is unprecedented and represents a far greater awareness of systems and competency of their installers required following the tragedy of the Grenfell Tower Fire. With the work BAFE have performed in conjunction with the industry and Fire and Rescue Service, we are pleased to release this document and offer a route to achieving this important Third Party Certification. Quality evidence of competency is going to have far greater scrutiny for everyone working in high-rise blocks in the very near future which can only be a good thing. This scheme will fill this crucial gap in providing confidence to specifiers knowing that are fulfilling their due diligence an continuing the ‘golden thread’ of accountability for the life safety of residents within the building”
By achieving this third party accreditation we have been, and will continue to be, audited to the highest levels of quality within the fire safety industry. Our clients can be confident that Triangle will deliver a high quality service and meet all the latest legal requirements.
