Does anyone know what any applicable regulations say about fire alarms in stairwells? I find the sirens in stairwells so loud I end up walking downstairs with fingers in my ears, if I trip it creates a new hazard. By the time you get to the stairwell you know the alarm's going, not sure why they're needed in there.

timmmay: Do you know where this is defined?

 

In the fire alarm standard, which is NZS 4512:2010.  Called by the NZ Building Code Clause F7.
