Questions · Fire detection
What is RIPCI (the Spanish fire protection installations regulation) and what exactly does it oblige me to do?
RIPCI is the regulation on fire protection installations, approved by Royal Decree 513/2017, and it governs three things: the products that can be installed, the companies that can install and maintain them, and the compulsory maintenance of what is installed. It replaced Royal Decree 1942/1993 and, unlike that one, its maintenance regime also reaches installations that already existed.
For the owner of a building it comes down to four specific obligations: that the equipment carries the conformity that corresponds to it, that a licensed company installs and maintains it, that the operations are done at the intervals in its annex II, and that each one is recorded in writing. That record is what you show at an inspection; without it, the installation does not count as maintained even if it is.
What RIPCI does not say is how many detectors your building needs. That is said by CTE or by RSCIEI depending on the case, and the specific layout is said by UNE 23007-14.

A written answer is enough to decide whether it interests you. To know whether it works at your site you have to see it on a real scene, with the image as it is and, on top of it, what the system understands from it. That is on the IRIS Neural website, which is the group's product.
