Fire Telephone Communication for Refuge Areas

EVC – Emergency Voice Communication Systems

EVC SigtelEmergency Voice Communication systems provide communication in refuge areas, allowing people to call for assistance when they cannot easily use fire escapes or evacuation lifts.

Current Building Regulations require all new non-domestic buildings, with more than one storey to provide ‘refuge’ areas.
