General Information
Frequently Asked Questions
CEN/TC 72/WG 5 is a Working Group within the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). It is named "Point heat and smoke detectors and short-circuit isolators" and is responsible for: To prepare and maintain product standards for point heat and smoke detectors and for short-circuit isolators. This committee has published 7 standards.
CEN/TC 72/WG 5 develops CEN standards. The scope of work includes: To prepare and maintain product standards for point heat and smoke detectors and for short-circuit isolators. Currently, there are 7 published standards from this working group.
The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) is a public standards organization that brings together the national standardization bodies of 34 European countries. CEN provides a platform for developing European Standards (ENs) and other technical documents in relation to various products, materials, services, and processes, supporting the European Single Market.
A Working Group in CEN is a specialized group responsible for developing standards or technical work within a defined scope. These bodies bring together international experts to create consensus-based standards that support global trade, safety, and interoperability.
This draft European Standard specifies requirements, test methods and performance criteria for point smoke detectors that operate using scattered light, transmitted light or ionization, intended for use in fire detection and fire alarm systems installed in and around buildings (see EN 54 1:2011).
This European standard provides for the assessment of verification of consistency of performance (AVCP) of point smoke detectors to this EN.
For other types of smoke detector, or smoke detectors working on different principles, this standard should only be used for guidance. Smoke detectors with special characteristics and developed for specific risks are not covered by this standard.
NOTE Certain types of detector contain radioactive materials. The national requirements for radiation protection differ from country to country and they are not specified in this standard.
