Duct smoke detectors
General Information
Frequently Asked Questions
CEN/TC 72/WG 21 is a Working Group within the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). It is named "Duct smoke detectors". This committee has published 3 standards.
CEN/TC 72/WG 21 develops CEN standards. Currently, there are 3 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 specifies requirements, test methods and performance criteria for fire detectors which detect smoke in air ducts in buildings as a part of a fire detection and fire alarm system or as an actuator for a fire protection system.
Duct smoke detectors with special characteristics and developed for specific risks are not covered by this document.
NOTE Certain types of detector contain radioactive materials. The national requirements for radiation protection differ from one member state to another and are not specified in this standard.

This European Standard specifies requirements, test methods and performance criteria for fire detectors which detect smoke in air ducts in buildings as a part of a fire detection and fire alarm system or as a detector for a fire protection system.
This European Standard provides for the assessment and verification of consistency of performance (AVCP) of duct smoke detectors to this EN.
For the testing of other types of smoke detectors, or smoke detectors working on different principles, this European standard can be used only for guidance.
Duct smoke detectors with special characteristics and developed for specific risks are not covered by this European standard.
