Line-type heat detectors
General Information
Frequently Asked Questions
CEN/TC 72/WG 18 is a Working Group within the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). It is named "Line-type heat detectors". This committee has published 7 standards.
CEN/TC 72/WG 18 develops CEN standards. 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 European Standard applies to non-resettable line-type heat detectors consisting of a sensing element using an electrical sensor cable which can be connected to a sensor control unit or either directly or through an interface module to a control and indicating equipment intended for use in fire detection and fire alarm systems installed in and around buildings and civil engineering works (see EN 54 1:2011).
The non-resettable sensing element has a fixed temperature alarm threshold and does not distinguish between short circuit and alarm condition.
This European Standard specifies the requirements and performance criteria, the corresponding test methods and provides for the Assessment and Verification of Constancy of Performance (AVCP) of non-resettable line-type heat detectors to this European Standard.
This European Standard also covers non-resettable line-type heat detectors intended for use in the local protection of plant and equipment.
Non-resettable line-type heat detectors with special characteristics and developed for specific risks are not covered by this standard.

This European Standard applies to non-resettable line type heat detectors consisting of a sensing element using an electrical sensor cable connected to a sensor control unit, either directly or through an interface module to a control and indicating equipment intended for use in fire detection and fire alarm systems installed in buildings and tunnels. The non-resettable sensing element has a fixed temperature alarm threshold and does not distinguish between short circuit and alarm condition. This standard also covers non-resettable line type heat detectors intended for use in the local protection of plants and machinery. Non-resettable line type heat detectors with special characteristics and developed for specific risks are not covered by this standard. This standard specifies the requirements and performance criteria. This standard specifies the corresponding test methods and the evaluation of conformity of the product to the standard.
