Hazard detection systems

Batteries for hazard alarm systems (HAS)

What is a hazard alarm system?

The umbrella term hazard alarm systems covers many different types of alarm systems. These range from fire alarm systems (FAS) and intruder alarm systems (IAS) to smoke and heat extraction systems (SHEVS). They are designed to warn and protect buildings, people and property belonging to businesses and private individuals against burglary, fire or robbery.

When installing security electronics, a number of VDE and DIN regulations must be observed. If systems are to be operated in accordance with VdS standards, they must have type approval and may only be installed and maintained by installers approved by VdS. VdS-certified batteries must also be used when operating the systems.

Why are hazard alarm systems essential?

• Early fire detection: Fire alarm systems use various sensors that react to smoke, heat or open flames. This enables fires to be detected at the very outset – before they can develop into a serious hazard.
• Deterrence and protection against burglary and robbery: Burglar alarm systems act as a preventative measure and deter potential offenders. At the same time, they ensure that people in the vicinity are alerted immediately in the event of an emergency.
• Ability to respond quickly: If a hazard is detected, both fire and burglar alarm systems immediately trigger an alarm. This allows for rapid notification of the fire department, police, or other emergency responders—significantly reducing response time.
• Prioritizing life safety: The primary purpose of emergency alarm systems is to protect human life. In the event of a fire or a threat from third parties, they provide the time needed to get to safety.
• Property and building protection: As well as protecting people, these systems also help to minimise material damage. Early detection and the triggering of alarms can often significantly reduce the loss of property.

What requirements must a GMA battery meet?

To ensure that your emergency alarm system is fully prepared for an emergency, it should meet certain requirements. VdS certification is a mark of quality that stands for excellence and reliability in security technology. In the event of a fire, this certification is essential for insurance purposes.
