Overview
EN 12259-2:1999 is a CEN European standard for fixed firefighting systems, specifically addressing wet alarm valve assemblies and retard chambers used in automatic sprinkler and water spray systems. The standard specifies requirements for the construction and performance of these key hydraulic components. Auxiliary components and attachments are explicitly excluded. All pressure data in the standard are given as gauge pressure in bar (bar = 100 000 Pa).
Key Topics
The standard focuses on essential technical elements needed to ensure reliable operation of wet alarm valve assemblies:
- Construction requirements: minimum expectations for materials, body assemblies and mechanical arrangement to meet the intended service life and environmental conditions.
- Performance requirements: functional criteria that wet alarm valve assemblies and retard chambers must meet under normal and fault conditions to ensure correct alarm and water delivery.
- Retard chamber function: criteria for chambers that provide time delay/retardation to avoid nuisance alarms while maintaining system reliability.
- Hydraulic considerations: pressure-related data are standardized as gauge pressure in bar to ensure consistent specification and testing.
- Exclusions: auxiliary components and attachments (such as actuators, remote indicators, or ancillary fittings) are not covered and must be referenced in other standards or manufacturer documentation.
Applications
EN 12259-2:1999 is intended for professionals involved in the design, manufacture, testing and regulation of sprinkler and water spray fire-protection systems:
- Manufacturers of wet alarm valve assemblies and retard chambers use the standard to design products that meet European construction and performance expectations.
- Fire protection system designers and engineers reference the standard when specifying hydraulic alarm valves in building designs.
- Installers and contractors rely on the standard to select compliant components and to verify correct integration into automatic sprinkler systems.
- Authorities having jurisdiction, facility managers, and certification bodies use the standard as a benchmark for compliance, inspection, and acceptance testing.
Related Standards
- EN 12259 is a series covering components for sprinkler and water spray systems; other parts address alternative valve types and accessories. For complete system compliance, consult the appropriate parts of the EN 12259 series and applicable national regulations.
