13.220.20 - Fire protection

This European standard specifies oxygen reduction systems that are used as fire prevention systems by creating an atmosphere in an area which is having a lower permanent oxygen concentration as in ambient conditions. The level of oxygen reduction is defined by the individual risks of these areas (see Annex A). Oxygen reduction is achieved by technical systems which are providing a flux of air containing a reduced concentration of oxygen.
This European standard specifies minimum requirements and...view more

This document describes:
- assessment of installation and capability of fire detection system;
- assessment of interaction between fire detection system and FCCS;
- application and limitations of assessment process (mock-up or real scale test).
This document considers any additional as...view more

This document specifies the requirements for compatibility and connectability assessment of the components of fire detection and alarm systems, fire protection systems and voice alarm systems. This document only includes system requirements when these are necessary for compatibility assessment. This document also specifies requirements for the integrity of the fire detection and fire alarm system when connected to other systems. This document does not specify the manner in which the system is de...view more

This part of EN 45545 specifies the reaction to fire performance requirements for materials and products used on railway vehicles as defined in EN 45545-1.
The operation and design categories defined in EN 45545-1 are used to establish hazard levels that are used as the basis of a classification system.
For each hazard level, this part specifies the test methods, test conditions and reaction to fire performance requirements.
It is not within the scope of this European Standard to describe mea...view more

Data collection is of prime importance in fire safety, for several reasons: assessing the effect of any regulation, providing probability and gravity data to fire risk analysis, and the selection of scenarios for examples in fire safety engineering. Statistical data collection of fires is nevertheless collected and analysed from local or national perspectives at the time of publication of this document, making any comparison difficult. A first step identified in the need for harmonization is the...view more

This document specifies performance requirements, methods of test and marking requirements for pressure reducing valves intended to reduce the downstream water pressure in the piping for water-based fire protection systems. Within the context of this document, pressure reducing valves include both pilot operated pressure reducing valves and direct acting pressure reducing valves. Performance and test requirements for other auxiliary components or attachments to pressure reducing valves are not w...view more

This document specifies requirements and gives recommendations for the design, installation, water supplies and backflow prevention, commissioning, maintenance and testing of fixed residential fire sprinkler systems in buildings for residential occupancies.
This document is intended for use by those concerned with purchasing, designing, installing, testing, inspecting, approving, operating and maintaining automatic residential sprinkler systems, in order that such equipment will function as int...view more

This document defines performance requirements, methods of testing and marking requirements for fire pump relief valves intended to rapidly relieve the excessive water pressure in the supply piping for standpipe systems or sprinkler systems or both. Performance and test requirements for other auxiliary components or attachments to fire pump relief valves are not covered by this standard.

This document specifies performance requirements, test methods and marking requirements for pendent early suppression fast response (ESFR) sprinklers. NOTE This document currently provides requirements for K202 and K242 ESFR pendent sprinklers.

This European Standard applies to resettable line-type heat detectors consisting of a sensing element using an optical fibre, a pneumatic tube or an electrical sensor cable connected to a sensor control unit, either directly or through an interface module, intended for use in fire detection and fire alarm systems installed in and around buildings and other civil engineering works (see EN 54-1:2011).
This European Standard specifies the requirements and performance criteria, the corresponding te...view more

This document specifies performance, requirements, test methods and marking requirements, for check valves used to supply water in automatic fire protection systems. It is not applicable to trim valves.

This document specifies the requirements, test methods and performance criteria for audible alarm devices intended to signal an audible warning, with or without voice messages between a fire detection and fire alarm system and the occupants of a building. This document specifies fire alarm audible alarm devices for two types of application environment, type A for indoor use and type B for outdoor use. This document is not applicable to: a) loudspeaker-type devices primarily intended for emitting...view more
