Overview

EN 12094-10:2003 (CEN) is the European Standard that defines requirements and test methods for pressure gauges and pressure switches used in fixed firefighting systems with gas extinguishing agents. It applies to components that monitor pilot, control, alarm and storage containers filled with non‑liquefied inert gases (e.g., N2, Ar, CO2 mixtures) or pressurized halocarbon gases. The standard sets performance, environmental and documentation requirements, and defines conformity assessment procedures.

Key topics and requirements

  • Scope & applicability: Monitoring of pilot/control/alarm/storage containers for inert and halocarbon gas systems. Does not cover discharge‑indicating pressure switches.
  • Pressure gauges
    • Must comply with EN 837-1 requirements (dimensions, metrology, tests).
    • Recommended minimum accuracy class 1.6 and nominal size 40.
    • Range should exceed container pressure at 50 °C but not exceed next EN 837-1 standard range.
    • Corrosion conditioning followed by accuracy check required.
  • Pressure switches
    • Switching accuracy: typically within ±2.5% of container pressure at 50 °C or maximum expected system pressure.
    • Rated for working pressure at least equal to the pressure at 50 °C; manufacturer must state switching capacity.
    • Must have self‑resetting contacts and minimum IP54 enclosure rating (EN 60529).
    • Environmental and durability tests include: function cycles, internal pressure test (1.2× working pressure), operational reliability (100 cycles), temperature conditioning (–20 °C and +50 °C) and corrosion exposure.
  • Testing & conformity
    • Detailed test procedures: functional cycling, internal pressure holding, temperature and corrosion tests (sulphur dioxide condensation method).
    • Conformity evaluation includes initial type testing and factory production control (FPC).
  • Marking & documentation
    • Gauges marked per EN 837-1; switches carry manufacturer, type, serial/batch and other identification.
    • Manufacturers must supply design, installation, operation and maintenance documentation with test samples.

Applications and users

  • Practical uses: monitoring pressure in gas storage cylinders, pilot/control bottles and alarm circuits of CO2, inert gas and halocarbon extinguishing installations.
  • Typical users:
    • Component manufacturers and designers of fixed firefighting systems
    • System integrators and installers specifying compatible gauges and switches
    • Testing laboratories and certification bodies performing type tests and factory production control
    • Facility engineers and specifiers verifying compliance and maintenance procedures

Related standards

  • EN 837-1: Bourdon tube pressure gauges (dimensions, metrology, testing)
  • EN 60529 / IEC 60529: Degrees of protection by enclosures (IP code)
  • Other parts of EN 12094 series cover valves, actuators, detectors and additional components for gas extinguishing systems.

(If a container 10 l in volume is used, thequantities of chemicals given below shall be doubled.) The container is heated electrically and the side walls arecooled with water. A thermostat regulates the heating so as to maintain a temperature of approximately 45 °Cinside the container. During testing water is passed through a cooling coil wrapped around the container, it shallflow fast enough that its temperature at the discharge point is below 30 °C.The combination of heating and cooling is designed to ensure that vapours will condense on the surface of thespecimen. The sulphur dioxide atmosphere is generated in the 5-litre container with a solution of 20 g of sodiumthiosulphate (Na2S2O3 x 5H2O) in 500 cm3 of distilled water, to which 20 cm3 of dilute sulphuric acid is addeddaily. The dilute sulphuric acid comprises 128 cm3 of one molar sulphuric acid (H2SO4) dissolved in 1 l of distilledwater. The test specimen shall be removed from the container after 8 days; the container shall be cleaned. Thenthe procedure described above is repeated for a further period of 8 days.After a total of 16 days, the specimen is removed from the container and allowed to dry for seven days at atemperature of (20 ± 5) °C at maximum relative humidity of 70 %.6 MarkingPressure gauges shall be marked in accordance with EN 837-1:1996, 9.6.7.Pressure switches shall be marked with:a) name or trademark of the manufacturer or supplier;b) model designation (type);c) some mark(s) or code(s) (e.g. serial number or batch code), by which, at least, the date or batch and place ofmanufacture (if several places of manufacture) can be identified by the manufacturer; andd) set-point pressure.The markings shall be non-detachable, non-flammable, permanent and legible.Where the requirements of ZA.3 give the same information as above, the requirements of this clause 6 have beenmet.SIST EN 12094-10:2003
