CEN/TC 72 Fire detection and fire alarm systems

European Norm

13.220.20   Fire protection

Scope

This document provides a framework and template for the drafting, review and revision of national standards and guidelines for the application of automatic fire detection and fire alarm systems in and around buildings. The framework covers planning, design, installation, commissioning, use and maintenance of the systems. The guidelines cover systems intended for the protection of life and/or the protection of property. The standard covers systems with at least one manual call point or one fire detector. The systems may be capable of providing signals to initiate, in the event of a fire, the operation of ancillary equipment (such as fixed fire extinguishing systems) and other precautions and actions (such as machinery shutdown), but the standard does not cover the ancillary services themselves or ancillary circuits to interface with them. The guidelines do not cover systems combining fire alarm functions with other non-fire related functions. The guidelines do not recommend whether or not an automatic fire detection and/or fire alarm system should be installed in any given premises. It has been assumed in the drafting of this Part of EN 54 that the execution of its provisions will be trusted to appropriately competent persons. However, guidance is also given to other persons purchasing or using a fire detection or fire alarm system. Smoke alarms according to EN 14604 are not fire detection and fire alarm systems in the sense of this standards
