Preliminary Automist designs can be recommended by specifiers by following these recommendations,
however, Plumis accredited installers are trained to specify, install, commission and maintain the Automist
system. Their early involvement in the project is recommended as they are required to verify installation
proposals, provide critical supporting technical information and also commissioning certificates for project
approval by Building Control or other involved third parties.
Automist is accepted for use as a compensatory measure for loft conversions where an open plan
ground floor layout exists. The applicable regulatory guidance is given in paragraph 2.20.b of
Approved Document B (Fire safety)
