This is concerning commercial not a domestic system.

Who puts what adjacent to the fire alarm panel for isolation purposes?

An unswitched fused spur is normally the done thing.

Keyswitched fused spur labled fire alam supply normally by elec contractor but subject to initial contract agreement

Thats what I thought and have been doing for years.

Now has to be a double pole isolator maybe even with a fuse in it, something like a secret key switch

whats a secret key switch

keyswitched fused spur, this will allow you to cut the supply to the panel if you need to work on it. The spur must be labelled up 'fire alarm' and the norm would be to have them right beside the panel.

Just come off a job where 13 fire alarm panels went in, all had key switched spurs by them.

No, i,ve never bought a secret unswitched fuse, just wondring what secret wholesaler stocks em, if any one can tell me, much appreciated, is it at hogwarts wholesalers or summet.

Sorry Bugsy, we were typing simultaneously, but the outcome was the same.

Seems as though a lot of people still put an unswitched spur in

 

[eddielarge]

Ive just fitted an unswitched spur for a fire alarm and it was stated that it must be red, have to say this makes sense to me

double pole is what they ask for now, as Sparks 1234 has rightly said
