Overview
EN 12094-6:2006 is the CEN European standard that specifies requirements and test methods for non-electrical disable devices used in fixed gas fire‑fighting systems. It applies to disable devices for CO2, inert gas and halocarbon gas extinguishing systems and covers devices that prevent unintended release of agent during maintenance (for example isolating valves in pilot lines or devices that block container actuators).
Keywords: EN 12094-6:2006, non-electrical disable devices, fixed firefighting systems, gas extinguishing systems, CO2, inert gas, halocarbon gas.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope and examples: devices that isolate mechanical/pneumatic release or flooding of a zone - e.g. isolating valves to the flooding zone or pneumatic pilot line; actuator blocking devices at container banks and selector valves.
- Materials and design: disable devices (except seals) and actuator mechanical parts shall be metallic; moving parts typically stainless steel, copper, copper alloy or corrosion‑protected steel; materials must resist the media they contact.
- Functional requirements:
- Clear indication of operational and disabled states at the device; lockable in both states.
- Must not compromise fire detection or pre‑warning alarms.
- Resettable from disabled to operational in both quiescent and activated system conditions.
- Operating force limits (tested per clause 5.6):
- Hand operation ≤ 150 N
- Finger pull ≤ 50 N
- Finger push ≤ 10 N
- Performance tests (type test methods include):
- Function testing (operation/disabled states)
- Resistance to load - must withstand at least twice the maximum expected system load
- Corrosion resistance and stress‑corrosion testing (copper alloy parts)
- Vibration testing (per EN 60068‑2‑6) and operational reliability testing
- Documentation & conformity: manufacturer must supply technical description, installation, operation and maintenance instructions; marking, initial type testing, factory production control (FPC) and Annex ZA (relation to EU Construction Products Directive) are addressed.
Applications and who uses this standard
EN 12094-6:2006 is used by:
- Manufacturers of valves, actuator locks and other disable devices to design and certify compliant products.
- Fire‑safety system designers and specifiers selecting components for CO2, inert or halocarbon systems in data centres, engine rooms, archives, industrial plants and server rooms.
- Installers, maintenance teams and inspectors to verify correct installation, locking, reset and documentation.
- Testing and certification bodies performing type tests, corrosion/vibration tests and CE/Conformity assessments.
Practical benefits: ensures safe maintenance practices (preventing accidental discharge), improves product interoperability, and supports regulatory compliance and CE marking.

5.3 Compliance A visual and measurement check shall be made to determine whether the non-electrical disable device corresponds to the description in the technical literature (drawings, parts lists, description of functions, operating and installation instructions). 5.4 Function NOTE This test relates to the requirements of 4.3.2. The device shall be set in the disabled position and the actuator of the system shall be triggered. It shall be ensured that the device has functioned correctly. The system and the non-electrical disable device shall be reset. This test shall be repeated 10 times. Following this test cycle a test of the correct function of the device in the non-disabled condition, permitting correct operation of the system, shall be made. 5.5 Test for resistance to load NOTE This test relates to the requirements of 4.3.3. Non-electrical disable devices shall be subjected to all relevant loads or forces. In each case the load or force shall be twice the maximum occurring in the system. SIST EN 12094-6:2006
