Enhancing Safety with Advanced Communication
BS 9991:2024 – New Building Safety Standards
Discover how the latest Fire and Life Safety Code mandates resilient communication infrastructure for high-rise buildings and how to remain compliant with Leaky Feeder based Radio Communications System.
Key Features of BS 9991:2024
Mandatory Communication Systems
Leaky Feeder Technology Now Essential
Enhanced Safety Protocols
Ongoing Compliance and Testing Required
Systems must be regularly tested and maintained, with documented proof available for inspections
The BS 9991:2024 update introduces significant implications for businesses involved in residential property design, construction, and management. It now mandates robust, building wide firefighter communication systems in all new residential buildings and certain refurbishments or conversions. This means property developers, landlords, and building owners must ensure reliable radio coverage in traditionally signal blocked areas like stairwells, basements, and lift shafts. Non compliance could not only result in failed inspections but also liability in the event of a fire-related incident. For businesses, this shifts radio comms from a “nice-to-have” to a legal necessity, creating both a compliance obligation and an opportunity to invest in dual-use systems that also support daily operations like security and facilities.
