Hi (again!)
This is from a facility report for an art gallery.
The gallery has a "système de sécurité incendie de catégorie A." Some rooting around online tells me that this is the top category and applies to systems in two parts:
- système de détection incendie
- système de mise en sécurité incendie
I intend expanding on the "category A" description by explaining this is a two-part system comprising a fire detection system and a ???.
What might I call this "système de mise en sécurité incendie" ?
Many thanks in advance.

what it means; Fire Safety System
From my notes:
Système de Mise en Sécurité Incendie = alarms, lighting, door unlocking, smoke extraction
So it's not firefighting or "suppression", but ancillary measures ensuring building-user and firefighter safety.
I've been known to call this the Fire Safety System (as opposed to the Firefighting/Suppression System, etc.) if the range of associated systems (they are legion: SDI, SSI, SMSI, CMSI ...) listed in a document makes this reasonable.

Sarah Bessioud
: Definitely 'safety system' rather than suppression because of the detection and alarm devices also included in such a system

: I respect your comments but logically here it would mean making fires safe (as in 'road safety').

Comment: "Thanks Bourth and everyone else. After reading the Siemens site, I think this is the best rendition. However, it's important to distinguish between the CMSI and the SSI. I used "fire prevention" system for the SSI."

fire suppression system
often called a sprinkler system in US English, but in an art gallery, likely to be something other than water, to try to avoid damage to the art.

fire prevention system
the system sounds to me more upstream, like it safeguards against a fire starting inthe first place rather than actually extinguishing one. I found this about protecting places such as your art gallery. It might help!
"Fire Prevention
Cultural institutions are just as susceptible, if not more so, to the wide variety of common ignition sources that are responsible for most fires elsewhere. The most important factor in preventing a fire loss is through the maintenance of a good fire prevention program. The fire protection program (policy) needs to be in writing and updated periodically. Management and staff responsibilities need to be defined, and fire prevention procedures established. This program must be based on a high standard of housekeeping, orderliness, maintenance of equipment and continuous staff training and awareness in both recognizing and eliminating fire hazards (ignition and fuel sources).
Safeguarding Ignition Sources
Much can be done to minimize the chance of a fire starting or spreading with little, or no expenditure of monies. Your elementary school training taught you that it takes fuel, air, and heat (an ignition source) for fire to occur. You cannot do much about air, but you can control both the fuel and the ignition sources in your facilities.
Some of the leading causes of fires in cultural institutions are heating devices, such as space heaters, heating and air conditioning equipment, and heating and cooking stoves; arson and suspected arson; electrical wiring and appliances; and smoking. Through care and diligence, many of these ignition sources can be guarded against, however, the risk of fire will always remain a distinct possibility to be reckoned

Discussion
Le CMSI reçoit du SDI les informations de détection comportant l'identification de la zone sinistrée. A la réception de ces informations, le CMSI commande de façon automatique un ensemble de dispositifs actionnés de sécurité (DAS) et de diffuseurs sonores répartis dans le bâtiment. Le fonctionnement de ces dispositifs permet de mettre en sécurité le bâtiment suivant les règles suivantes :
· Compartimentage :cette fonction a pour objectif de faire obstacle à la propagation du feu
· Désenfumage :
· Evacuation :
· Mise à l'arrêt de certaines installations techniques :
