★★★★★
by Sam De Pauw – Feb 15, 2016
“Finally a comprehensive, yet very easy to read, reference book that demystifies standards and practices in PA and Evac systems used worldwide! Even though the current EN54 standards are currently under revision, this guide is a must have for anyone who’s manufacturing, planning or integrating Evac or PA systems for the next years to come.
Thank you.”

“If you have any active role in VA, this book is almost certainly going to tell you something you didn’t know. It’s a valuable addition to your library, and, if you’re involved in the voice alarm business internationally, the comprehensive tables on standards requirements alone justify the investment of the time and money.”
