Conventional and addressable systems, voice alarm to EN 54-16.
The service →Fire Water Networks & Sprinkler Systems
Fixed fire water networks, fire hose cabinets and sprinkler systems.
The service →Security Systems & CCTV
Video surveillance, intruder alarms and access control.
The service →Fire Extinguisher Maintenance & Refilling
Periodic inspection, maintenance and refilling of portable and wheeled fire extinguishers.
The service →Regulatory framework
What governs this type of space
| Occupancy category | Offices (P.D. 41/2018, Ch. B, art. 8). |
|---|---|
| Fire extinguishers | One per 150 m² gross area (8.4.1). |
| Manual fire alarm | With a design occupancy over 100 people (8.4.2). |
| Automatic fire detection | Over 200 occupants, or with three or more floors of main use (8.4.3). |
| Fire hydrant system | Permanent hydrant system with four or more floors and at least 3,000 m²; from 5,000 m²; over 20 m high. Otherwise a hose cabinet (8.4.4). |
| Sprinklers | In office buildings over 23 m high (8.4.5). |
| Server room | Portable CO₂ near electrical equipment and computers (Fire Service Ordinance 15/2014, 4.1.1.2); where sprinklers are required and water is unsuitable, another agent is allowed (P.D. 41/2018, Ch. A, 7.2.3). |
| Existing offices | Permit applied for before 17-2-1989: Fire Service Ordinance 17/2016. On a total change of use, or an extension over 50% of the main-use area and over 300 m², P.D. 41/2018 applies (Ch. A, 2.1 d-e). Monuments, listed and traditional buildings: always the Fire Service Ordinance (Ch. A, 2.3). |
Which framework binds a given building depends on the date the building permit was applied for and on its occupancy classification. The binding requirement comes from the approved fire-safety study.

Frequently asked questions
Offices & administrative buildings — what clients ask us
When do offices need fire detection?
In a new building, when the design occupancy exceeds 200 people or the offices spread over three or more floors. A manual fire alarm is already required when the design occupancy exceeds 100 people.
How is the server room protected?
With detection and, where needed, a fixed gaseous or aerosol suppression system that extinguishes without harming the equipment. Nearby, portable CO₂ extinguishers.
Do you also maintain the extinguishers?
Yes — annual maintenance, refilling and logbook updates, within Attica.
