Why a Zone Chart Matters

Under BS 5839-1, a zone plan should be displayed adjacent to the fire alarm control panel to clearly indicate the areas covered by each zone.

An unclear or missing zone chart can:

  • Delay staff response during activation

  • Slow fire service identification of the affected area

  • Result in inspection observations

  • Create confusion in multi-zone buildings

A properly prepared zone plan improves response time and demonstrates responsible fire safety management.
