This document gives guidance on the planning, design, installation, commissioning, verification, third party approval, use, and maintenance of automatic fire detection and fire alarm systems in and around buildings intended for the protection of life or property, or both.
The guidelines cover systems intended for the protection of life and/or the protection of property. The guidelines cover systems with a control and indicating equipment and at least one manual call point or one fire detector. In the event of a fire, the systems can be capable of providing signals to initiate the operation of ancillary equipment (such as fixed fire extinguishing systems, smoke and heat control systems, fire compartment separation) and other precautions and actions (such as machinery shutdown or remote transmission of alarms). This document does not cover the ancillary services themselves or ancillary circuits to interface with them.
The guidelines only cover the fire related functions of systems combining fire alarm functions with other non-fire related functions.
The guidelines do not recommend whether or not a fire detection and/or fire alarm system should be installed in any given premises.
This document can be used as a guideline for planning, design, installation, commissioning, use and maintenance of a fire detection and fire alarm system in any country not having any equivalent national standard, or if national equivalent standard is obsolete or not covering certain aspects, e.g. new fire detection technologies.
This document is used by appropriately competent persons. However, guidance is also given to other persons purchasing or using a fire detection and/or fire alarm system.
This document does not apply to smoke alarms manufactured according to EN 14604.
