CEN/TC 72/WG 5 - Point heat and smoke detectors and short-circuit isolators

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.

Heat detectors with special characteristics and developed for specific risks are not covered by this standard.

This European Standard specifies requirements, test methods and performance criteria for short-circuit isolators, for use in fire detection and fire alarm systems for buildings (see EN 54-1).
Means of isolation or protection incorporated within control and indicating equipment (Item B in Figure 1 of EN 54-1:1996) are not covered by this European Standard.
