Disabled Refuge Systems

Emergency Voice Communication (EVC) systems for safe evacuation and protected areas β€” BS 5839-9 compliant, with clear call-point design and routine testing.

EVC Systems for Refuge Areas

In multi-storey and complex buildings, people who cannot use stairs unaided need a safe refuge and a reliable way to communicate with building management or the fire service. RMEC design and install Emergency Voice Communication systems that meet BS 5839-9.

Our systems provide two-way, hands-free communication between refuge outstations and a master station, so assistance can be coordinated during an emergency.

  • BS 5839-9 compliant
  • Clear, accessible call-point design
  • Type A and Type B outstations as required
  • Routine testing and maintenance
  • Integration options with fire systems
