What the domestic fire alarm certificate covers
A domestic fire alarm certificate records the design, installation and testing of a dwelling's fire detection and alarm system to BS 5839-6. It captures the system grade (e.g. Grade D1) and category (e.g. LD2), the detectors and sounders fitted, whether every device is functional and audible in the bedrooms, and confirmation the occupier was given instructions.
