This thread has got me thinking!! Never done any before but went around to a friends mothers flat recently and noticed a pull cord alarm within the shower cubicle itself! Do these pull cords alarms have to meet BS7671 requirements?

The pull chord alarm system is 12 volts so its extra low voltage so it's fine
the 240v supply is in the main control panel which should be installed outside of the bathroom

These units are ELV and when installed on the ceiling are generally outside of the zones.

Nurse call and disabled toilets, dont actually have a BS, very strange I know....But are covered by BS8300, which is building design specifications and Disabled Discrimination Act (DDA) As I have tried to explain in other posts, installing the main control panel in the toilet, defeats the whole idea of getting assistance to a person in trouble by simply flashing a light and buzzer outside the toilet, To comply with BS8300 and DDA, some logical design thinking needs to be put in place to ensure, a person reqiring help is not left a thus discriminated against....
