A Disabled Refuge, or Emergency Voice Communication (EVC) system, is a life safety intercom/telephone system that allows for effective two-way communication during a fire alarm emergency.
Building regulations state that all new multi-floored public buildings must include refuge areas for users and visitors who are unable to use stairs, fire escapes and evacuation lifts in the event of an emergency. Disabled refuge systems ensure a controlled and safe evacuation – and can ultimately save lives.
BS 9999: The code of practice for fire safety in the design, management and use of buildings requires that refuge areas are provided with independent communication between occupants and building management. Furthermore, the two-way system must be readily operated by and comprehensible to disabled people.
BS 5839-9: The code of practice for the design, installation, commissioning and maintenance of emergency voice communication systems.

Was very impressed with the speed and efficiency of service, both in terms of receiving the quote and installation. Martin was a pleasure to deal with, and kept us up to date with the parts that were on order and therefore resulting in a small delay. The installation team were excellent and gave staff a thorough run through setting the system up.
