Upcoming FIM Expo to feature BS 5839-1:2017 revisions and future of qualifications in fire detection and alarms

The next FIM Expo will take place on Wednesday 4 October at the Glasgow Science Centre.

Organised by the Fire Industry Association (FIA), the annual free event features two fire-safety seminars and the latest life-safety products from leading fire detection and alarm manufacturers.

One seminar will explore the implications of revisions to BS 5839-1:2017 (Fire detection and fire alarm systems for buildings – Code of practice for design, installation, commissioning and maintenance of systems in non-domestic premises). The other looks at the future of qualifications in fire detection and alarms. Both seminars are CPD-accredited and free to attend.

The event is relevant to installers or maintainers of fire detection and alarm systems, anyone managing such systems in commercial premises or architects or other professionals specifying fire protection systems to be installed in buildings.

“We are absolutely delighted to present FIM Expo,” said Kat Schabowska, the event coordinator. “It’s a fantastic place for like-minded individuals to meet, exchange ideas, network, and learn more about new products from a wide range of manufacturers.

“New products are being released onto the market all the time and this is a great way to come and see them first-hand and discuss how these new products might work for you.”
