Overview
EN 12094-16:2003 (CEN) is the European Standard that specifies requirements and test methods for odorizing devices used in CO2 low pressure systems in fixed firefighting installations. It applies to devices that release an odorizing substance into the CO2 extinguishant during discharge and that are not pressurized before discharge. The standard defines construction, marking, documentation and laboratory test procedures to verify safe, reliable operation and compatibility with gas extinguishing systems.
Key Topics and Requirements
- Scope and applicability
- Odorizing devices for CO2 low pressure systems (non‑pressurized before discharge).
- Materials and design
- Metal construction (except seals); corrosion‑resistant metals such as stainless steel, copper, copper alloys or corrosion‑protected steel.
- Device must not restrict extinguishant flow and must be specified for a working pressure of at least 25 bar.
- Manufacturer must specify the minimum CO2 flow velocity required for effective odorizing.
- Connections and threads
- Connection threads to conform to international thread standards (e.g., ISO 7-1, ISO 228-1).
- Pressure and leakage
- Housing shall not leak when subjected to the specified internal pressure test (test pressure noted in the standard).
- Function
- Device must reliably release the odorizing substance into the CO2 stream; functional test procedures are defined.
- Documentation and marking
- Manufacturer must provide installation, operation, maintenance and design documentation.
- Marking requirements include manufacturer/trademark, model/type, nominal pressure, batch/serial identification and flow direction; markings must be permanent and legible.
- Testing
- Tests performed on assembled samples under controlled conditions (temperature 25 ±10 °C unless stated).
- Three test samples required; tests include compliance checks, internal pressure/leakage and functional performance (installed in DN50 pipework; CO2 flow at manufacturer’s minimum velocity and specified pressure for the test duration).
Applications and Users
- Who uses EN 12094-16:2003:
- Manufacturers of odorizing devices and CO2 extinguishing components
- Fixed firefighting system designers and specifiers
- Testing and certification laboratories
- Installation and maintenance contractors
- Regulatory bodies and procurement teams seeking compliance evidence
- Practical use:
- To design, test and certify odorizer components that improve safety by making CO2 discharges detectable by odor.
- To ensure component compatibility, traceability and performance within CO2 low pressure gas extinguishing systems.
Related Standards
- Other parts of the EN 12094 series covering components for gas extinguishing systems (e.g., control devices, valves, nozzles, pressure gauges).
- Referenced thread standards: ISO 7-1, ISO 228-1.
- Quality and testing framework: EN ISO 9001, EN ISO/IEC 17025 for laboratories and certification considerations.
