Irish Standard for Fire Detection and Fire Alarm Systems: I.S. 3218:2024
I.S. 3218:2024 is the current Irish Standard for fire detection and fire alarm systems and is available to purchase from NSAI’s webstore.
This Standard gives guidelines for the planning, design, installation, commissioning, servicing and maintenance of fire detection and fire alarm systems in premises, including those used for residential and domestic purposes.
The aim of I.S. 3218:2024 is to promote a consistent approach to the application of fire detection and fire alarm systems in Ireland. It provides guidance for those involved in assessing needs, designing systems, installing equipment, commissioning systems, carrying out modifications, and undertaking ongoing servicing and maintenance.
Fire detection and fire alarm systems play an important role in supporting life safety by providing early warning of fire and helping occupants to respond appropriately. Correct planning, design, installation, commissioning, servicing and maintenance are essential to ensuring that these systems continue to operate effectively throughout the life of a building.
Through application of this Standard, organisations engaged in the design, installation, commissioning, servicing or maintenance of fire detection and fire alarm systems can demonstrate alignment with recognised Irish guidance and provide confidence to building owners, persons having control, specifiers and other stakeholders.
