A European standard has been published to assess the performance of VADs, which were often referred to as ‘beacons’ or ‘sounder beacons’. They assist hearing impaired people or staff working in noisy environments to recognise when a fire alarm has been activated. EN54-23:2010 has been introduced to standardise the requirements, and performance of VADs to ensure that adequate light intensity is achieved where required.
