Life Safety Public Address and Voice Alarm (PAVA) systems within public buildings are specialised areas of commercial audio which require close attention to various British and European Standards to ensure compliance, and therefore, the safety of all users in an emergency.

Commercial Audio Solutions has extensive experience in designing voice evacuation systems, complying with both EN54 and BS5839 standards, for the control system and loudspeakers.

To complement Voice Alarm & Evacuation, Disabled Refuge systems are also a requirement in buildings higher than one storey. A fully compliant system enables emergency duplex communication between anyone waiting in the refuge for evacuation assistance and the Incident Control team.

Voice Alarm Systems (VAS) should only be specified and designed by qualified professionals with an indepth knowledge of these systems.
