Fire alarm systems play a very important role in ensuring the safety of life and property in construction works. Below are the main importance and how to install automatic fire alarm systems.

Regulations and standards for construction and installation of automatic fire alarm systems

The construction and installation of automatic fire alarm systems must comply with a number of legal regulations and specific standards to ensure safety and efficiency.

Automatic fire alarm systems must be designed and installed according to national standards on automatic fire alarm systems in Vietnam:

• National standard TCVN 5738:2021 stipulates technical requirements, design, installation, and inspection of automatic fire alarm systems. This standard includes:Standard TCVN 3890:2023 stipulates the equipment and installation of fire prevention and fighting equipment such as: fire alarm systems, fire extinguishers, etc.
  • Regulations on types of equipment: fire detectors, control panels, fire alarm bells, wiring systems, smoke sensors, and heat sensors.
  • Installation location: ensure that the equipment is installed at a suitable height and in areas prone to fire.
• Standard TCVN 2622:1995 specifies in detail the arrangement of fire alarm systems for houses and buildings, including: distance, sensitivity and response time of the equipment.

Compliance with standards and regulations not only ensures the safety of the building but also helps avoid legal risks when an incident occurs. The construction and installation must be licensed by the Fire Prevention and Fighting Police Department for design approval and acceptance after installation.

The importance of installing an automatic fire alarm system

• Automatic fire alarm systems are capable of detecting smoke, temperature, or other signs of fire and explosion as soon as an incident begins. Thanks to that:
• Timely warning, helping residents in the building have enough time to evacuate safely.
• Extinguishing the fire at an early stage, minimizing the risk of the fire spreading and causing great damage to people and property.
• Reducing the dependence on human factors in detecting and handling fires.
• Minimizing the risk of death or injury due to fire and explosion, thanks to the system's quick response.

Construction process for installing automatic fire alarm systems

Checking drawings, making construction plans

Before starting construction, the construction team needs to survey the project, check the fire alarm system design drawings to grasp the information to make a specific construction plan, ensuring to meet the requirements of technology, safety and aesthetics.

• Area and structure of the project
• Areas requiring fire alarm system installation
• Types of fire alarm equipment to be used
• Technical and aesthetic requirements of the investor
• Wiring, measuring resistance for installation of installation equipment
• Proceed to pull signal wires and install fire alarm equipment according to the approved construction plan.

Pull signal wires according to the design drawings, ensuring aesthetics and durability.
Install fire alarm equipment in the correct position, ensuring visibility and effective fire detection.

Programming and installation

After wiring, measuring resistance for installation of equipment, then proceed to program and install the fire alarm system according to the manufacturer's regulations.

Programming the fire alarm system includes setting the technical parameters of the system such as: alarm delay time, alarm zone, etc.
Install the fire alarm system, connect the devices together and check the operation of the system.

Check

Check the entire fire alarm system to ensure that the system operates normally and meets technical and safety requirements.

• Check the equipment, check the wiring, check the alarm function, etc.
• After checking, the construction team will make a record of acceptance and hand over the system to the investor.
