Disabled Refuge & Emergency Voice Communication Systems (EVC)

Disabled refuge, emergency voice communication systems (EVC) and fire telephone systems are 'life safety' systems and therefore imperative that they work when needed – during a fire or other threatening emergency. Regular maintenance helps to ensure that these systems are kept in a fully functioning condition.

Disabled Refuge & emergency voice communication systems are designed to give two way, hands free communications in the event of an emergency. These systems often consist of a control panel and call stations located in designated refuge points throughout the building. In the event of an emergency, 2 way conversation can be made via this system, helping to locate and advise building occupants.

Disabled refuge & emergency voice communication (EVC) systems should be serviced at least bi-anually to the standard laid down under BS 5839: Part 9.
