11.2 k) CIE should conform to BS EN 54-2.
NOTE 1 BS EN 54-2 contains optional performance
characteristics which are not necessarily provided in all CIE,
even if third-party certificated against BS EN 54-2. It needs to
be ensured that the CIE provided has appropriate facilities to
enable compliance with all the recommendations of this British
Standard.
Make sure you get one to do what you want it to.
13 Detection zones
13.1 Commentary
If a detector is concealed in a relatively inaccessible area (such
as a floor or ceiling void), it is normally desirable to provide a
remote indication of its operation. In an addressable system, the
provision of an individual remote indicator might not be
necessary provided that the location of each fire detector is
clearly indicated at the CIE.

of a new servicing organization
b) 10) the absence of a zone plan or other suitable
diagrammatic representation of the premises [see 23.2.2e)].

46.4.6 Recommendation for inspection and test of the system
following long periods of disconnection
The recommendations for inspection and test of the system over
a 12 month period (see 45.4) should be undertaken.
NOTE If there is a major change in occupation or use of a
building it might be appropriate for the cause and effects of the
system to be checked.
Delay alarms, filtering, phased evacuation etc.
25 Power supplies
25.2 Recommendations for mains power supplies
c) To facilitate local isolation during maintenance, suitable
means should be provided for double pole isolation of the low
voltage supply circuit that serves the power supply and control
equipment [see 29.2e)].
NOTE 2 The contractor responsible for supplying the 230 V
mains power supply needs to ensure that the particular device
used does actually afford isolation. A number of switching
devices do not meet the required isolation performance criteria.
BS 7671:2008+A1:2011, Table 53.4, details whether a particular
device can actually be used for the purpose of isolation.
Same note appears in 29.2 e) Electrical safety
25 Power supplies
25.2 Recommendations for mains power supplies
h) Every isolator, switch and protective device that is capable
of disconnecting the mains supply to the fire detection and fire
alarm system should be situated in a position inaccessible to
unauthorized persons or be protected against unauthorized
operation by persons without a special tool.
NOTE 4 A special tool may, for example, be a key actuator
(sometimes called secret key) for a mains switch device.

27 Radio-linked systems
27.2 Recommendations has been subtly rewritten making
it
clear that wireless devices, that rely solely on battery
power,
should have two independent batteries such that if one set
(primary) should fail a second would continue to support
the
device. A number of paragraphs in 27.2 have been
deleted and
the paragraphs renumbered. These paragraphs described
the
operation of the equipment and are no longer required as

CIE
The 2008 version had various references to CIE and Control and
Indicating equipment. The 2013 version now standardises on
CIE.
