False Alarm Notices: What You Need to Know About BS 5839-1:2025 Compliance

False alarms don’t just waste time they cost money, disrupt operations, and risk damaging trust with the fire and rescue service. That’s why the new BS 5839-1:2025 fire alarm standard now places even greater emphasis on responsible alarm management and signage plays a key role in that.

Why False Alarm Notices Are Now a Must

Under the updated BS 5839-1:2025, buildings with automatic fire alarm systems that are connected directly to the fire and rescue service must clearly display a warning notice commonly referred to as a False Alarm Notice.

This isn’t just best practice. It’s part of compliance.

These labels are designed to:

Alert building users that the system is live and monitored
Help reduce the number of unnecessary callouts
Provide a clear contact number in case of accidental activation or fault

In short, it’s a small label that plays a big role in safety and responsibility.
