Fire alarm systems are categorised into manual (Category M) and automatic systems for life protection (Category L) and property protection (Category P).

Manual Call Points (MCPs) are crucial components in fire alarm systems, designed to allow building occupants to manually trigger an alarm in the event of a fire or other emergency. These devices are typically referred to as "break glass units", reflecting the common method of activation where a glass panel is broken to initiate the alarm. These devices are typically installed at convenient and accessible locations throughout a building, such as near exits or in corridors, where they can be easily reached in an emergency.

Manual call points (MCPs) need to be prominently sited, readily distinguishable from non-fire alarm call points and need to be distributed such that, from any point in the building, it is impossible to leave the storey or the building without passing a manual call point.

A fire alarm system should be serviced by a competent person with specialist knowledge of fire alarm systems every six months. Regular servicing ensures the system remains fully operational and any issues are promptly addressed, maintaining the safety and compliance of the building.

The fire panel should be located in a prominent, easily accessible area for both staff and firefighters responding to a fire signal. Typically, it should be installed on the ground floor near the entrance used by the fire and rescue service. Alternatively, it can be placed in a continuously manned control room where initial control of any fire incident can be managed by staff or the fire and rescue service. The location should ensure that the controls are readily operable and the indications are clearly visible.
