EN 54-3:2014

Fire detection and fire alarm systems - Part 3: Fire alarm devices - Sounders

This European Standard specifies the requirements, test methods and performance criteria for fire alarm sounders, including voice sounders, in a fixed installation intended to signal an audible warning between the fire detection and fire alarm systems and the occupants of a building (see EN 54-1:2011).
This European standard provides for the assessment and verification of constancy of performance (AVCP) of fire alarm sounders to this EN.
This European standard is not intended to cover:
a)   loudspeaker type devices primarily intended for emitting emergency voice messages that are generated from an external audio source;
b)   supervisory sounders, for example, within the control and indicating equipment.

Brandmeldeanlagen - Teil 3: Feueralarmeinrichtungen Akustische Signalgeber

Diese Europäische Norm legt die Anforderungen, Prüfverfahren und Leistungskriterien für akustische Signalgeber, einschließlich Sprachsignalgeber, fest, die in einer ortsfesten Installation für die Abgabe einer akustischen Warnung von einer Brandmeldeanlage an die Personen im Gebäude vorgesehenen sind (siehe EN 54 1:2011).
Diese Europäische Norm sieht die Bewertung und Überprüfung der Leistungsbeständigkeit (AVCP) von akustischen Signalgebern nach dieser EN vor.
Diese Europäische Norm ist nicht dafür vorgesehen, Folgendes abzudecken:
a)   Lautsprechereinrichtungen, die primär für die Aussendung von Alarmdurchsagen vorgesehen sind, die in externen Audioquellen erzeugt werden;
b)   Statustongeber, die z. B. innerhalb von Brandmelderzentralen vorgesehen sind.

Systèmes de détection et d'alarme incendie - Partie 3: Dispositifs sonores d'alarme feu

La présente Norme européenne spécifie les exigences, les méthodes d'essai et les critères de performance pour les dispositifs sonores d'alarme feu, y compris les alarmes vocales, d’une installation fixe, prévue pour diffuser un signal sonore d'alarme incendie depuis le système de détection et d'alarme incendie vers les occupants d'un bâtiment (voir l'EN 54-1:2011).
La présente Norme européenne prévoit l'évaluation et la vérification de la constance des performances (EVCP) des dispositifs sonores d'alarme feu par rapport à la présente EN.
La présente Norme européenne n'est pas prévue pour traiter :
a)   des dispositifs du type à haut-parleurs, dont la fonction première est de diffuser des messages d'urgence générés par une source audio externe ;
b)   des bruiteurs installés, par exemple, dans les équipements de contrôle et de signalisation.

Sistemi za odkrivanje in javljanje požara ter alarmiranje - 3. del: Naprave za alarmiranje - Zvočne naprave

Standard EN 54-3 določa zahteve, preskusne metode in merila delovanja za zvočne naprave za alarmiranje, vključno z glasovnimi napravami, v vgrajenih napravah, namenjenih signaliziranju zvočnega opozorila med sistemi za odkrivanje in javljanje požara ter alarmiranje ter uporabniki stavbe (glej standard EN 54-1:2011). Ta evropski standard zagotavlja ocenjevanje in preverjanje nespremenljivosti lastnosti (AVCP) zvočnih naprav za alarmiranje za ta standard. Ta evropski standard ni namenjen obravnavanju: a) naprav, podobnih zvočnikom, namenjenih zlasti oddajanju glasovnih sporočil v sili, ki jih proizvaja zunanji zvočni vir; b) nadzornih zvočnih naprav, ki se na primer nahajajo v nadzorni in indikatorski opremi.
