06Be careful with claims

Life-safety equipment buyers care about standards and compatibility. Claim a certification only if you hold evidence of it. State the number of zones or addresses a panel supports and which detectors and sounders fit it.

07Systems, not single parts

Fire alarm and intercom orders usually combine a panel or master station with several devices. List matching sets and compatible accessories, and describe cable requirements so the buyer can plan the installation.

08Stock by building type

Small buildings use conventional panels and a few detectors. Larger buildings use addressable systems. Intercoms range from simple door stations to multi-apartment systems. Match stock to the buildings you serve.

09Common life-safety mistakes

Claiming certifications you cannot prove, mixing incompatible detectors and bases and not stating zones or addresses. Be accurate and conservative.

10A typical scenario

A supplier lists panel sizes with matching detectors and wins a bundled request.
