Reducing the impact of fire hazards on people and property is achieved by using fire automation systems. The fire alarm system plays a special, system-forming role in the totality of these interacting systems. Modern views on the functionality implemented by these systems, designed to achieve or maintain a safe state of an object in relation to a specific dangerous event, allow it to be classified as a safety function. The authors comprehensively consider issues related to the causes of malfunction of such technical facilities, systematize disparate scientific research in the subject area, analyze new approaches to solving the problems of assessing and ensuring the reliability of these systems. Based on the information and logical model of the fire alarm system of an apartment building, a methodology is proposed for assessing functional safety and comparative assessments of various engineering solutions for fire alarm systems in terms of ensuring the required safety functions at various stages of the life cycle.
