AS 1670.1 (Fire Detection, Warning, Control, and Intercom Systems)

AS 1670.1 is an Australian standard that provides guidelines for designing, installing, and maintaining fire detection, warning, control, and intercom systems in buildings. It ensures these systems reliably detect fires early, alert occupants effectively, and coordinate responses to enhance safety. The standard specifies the types of devices used (like smoke detectors and alarms), their placement, and integration with emergency communication systems. Its goal is to minimize risks by ensuring occupants are quickly warned and can evacuate safely, while also supporting emergency responders in managing incidents efficiently.
