Sometimes it is necessary to fit interfaces so that gas supplies are isolated in the event a fire alarm is activated. On some ocassions its obvious, but at other times it seems excessive and can cause problems I believe schools are an area this is done frequently and of course where a cooking range fire supression system is fitted is another. But is there any legislation, standards or guidance that can help with a risk assessment? I sorry to sound harsh, but I am not after anedotes, or opinions - but would welcome a pointer towards guidance...... if there is any!

I would say this comes under Reg 8 of DSEAR, arrangements to deal with incidents and emergency situations i.e. the safe shut down of plant and equipment and isolation. ANy further help just let me know

Hi Messey, We have them in our schools and also in NHS propereties when I was employed there. I found an old thread in a fire safety forum: http://firenetforum.org.uk/?topic=4344.0 which may give some pointers. Also we have / had bypass switches for planned drill activations to avoid resetting costs and inconvenience. Edited by user 12 January 2020 21:35:09(UTC)
| Reason: spillchocker and bypass switch

Interested in the answers to this. I've worked several places which had automatic isolation linked to the alarm and several that didn't with no obvious rationale I was aware of behind the decision.
