The BAFE SP207 scheme covers the design,
installation, commissioning, and maintenance of
evacuation alert systems. This certification
provides reassurance that systems are compliant
with BS8629 and able to assist fire and rescue
services with evacuation, when necessary, in
multi-occupancy buildings.
