I wish to know if a walkie-talkie can be used instead of a refuge call point, I have an issue with someone planning to use these housed in a box in a stairwell refuge point, i believe a proper call point should be installed but I need some guidance as to what is legally acceptable.
My friends suggest a communication system is required for a refuge, its to which standard you install it. As far as I read in nrcradio site there is no substandard for the use of walkie talkie but there is for the design, installation, commissioning, and maintenance of emergency voice communication systems, BS 5839-9:2003.
