ISA 84.007 and BS 60080 are both standards for fire and gas design, but there
are some key differences between the two.
•
ISA 84.007 is a more comprehensive standard, covering a wider range of
topics, including fire detection, alarm, and suppression systems, as well as
gas detection and alarm systems. BS 60080 focuses more specifically on fire
detection and alarm systems.
•
ISA 84.007 is also more up-to-date, having been last updated in 2016. BS
60080 was last updated in 2007.
•
ISA 84.007 is a more international standard, having been adopted by a
number of countries around the world. BS 60080 is a British standard, and is
not as widely used outside of the UK.
In general, ISA 84.007 is considered to be the more comprehensive and up-todate standard for fire and gas design. However, BS 60080 may be more
appropriate for use in the UK, and may be less expensive to implement.
Here is a table that summarizes the key differences between the two standards:
Feature
ISA 84.007
Scope
Covers fire detection, alarm, and suppression systems, as well as gas
detection and alarm systems
Up-todateness
Last updated in 2016

Ultimately, the best standard to use will depend on the specific needs of the
project. If you are unsure which standard to use, it is recommended to consult
with a fire and gas safety expert.
