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 in a fixed installation intended to signal an audible warning of fire between a fire detection and fire alarm system and the occupants of a building. It is intended to cover only those devices which derive their operating power by means of a physical electrical connection to an external source such as a fire alarm system.
This standard specifies fire alarm sounders for two types of application environment, type A for indoor use and type B for outdoor use.
This standard is not intended to cover:
a) loudspeaker type devices primarily intended for emitting emergency voice messages;
b) supervisory sounders, for example, within the control and indicating equipment.
Brandmeldeanlagen - Teil 3: Feueralarmeinrichtungen - Akustische Signalgeber
Anwendungsbereich
Diese Europäische Norm legt Anforderungen, Prüfverfahren und Leistungsmerkmale für akustische Signalgeber fest, die in einer ortsfesten Installation für einen akustischen Feueralarm (Internalarm) von einer Brandmeldeanlage an die Personen im Gebäude vorgesehenen sind. Sie gilt nur für solche Geräte, die ihre Betriebsenergie durch eine physikalische elektrische Verbindung von einer äußeren Stromquelle beziehen, z. B. einer Brandmeldeanlage.
Diese Norm legt Anforderungen an akustische Signalgeber für zwei Typen von Anwendungsumgebungen fest, Typ A für die Anwendung in Gebäuden und Typ B für die Anwendung im Freien.
Diese Norm gilt nicht für:
a) Lautsprechereinrichtungen, die primär für die Aussendung von Alarmdurchsagen vorgesehen sind;
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 Partie de la norme européenne spécifie les exigences, les méthodes d'essai et les critères de performance pour les dipositifs sonores d'alarme feu 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. La présente Partie de la norme européenne est prévue pour ne traiter que des dispositifs fonctionnant au moyen d'un raccordement physique à une source d'alimentation électrique externe, tel qu'un équipement d'alarme.

Page 3EN 54-3:2001ForewordThis European Standard has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 72 "Fire detection and fire alarm systems",the secretariat of which is held by BSI.EN 54 is published in a series of parts. Information on the relationship between this European Standards and other standardsof the EN 54 series is given in Annex A of EN 54-1:1996.This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or byendorsement, at the latest by October 2001, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by October2003. For products which have complied with the relevant national standard before the date of withdrawal (dow), as shown bythe manufacturer or by a certification body, this previous standard may continue to apply for production until October 2006.This standard has been prepared in co-operation with the CEA (Comité Européen des Assurances) and with EURALARM(Association of European Manufacturers of Fire and Intruder Alarm Systems).This European Standard has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the EuropeanFree Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s).According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries arebound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany,Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the UnitedKingdom.IntroductionThe purpose of a fire alarm sounder is to warn person(s) within, or in the vicinity of, a building of the occurrence of a fireemergency situation in order to enable such person(s) to take appropriate measures.This standard recognizes that the exact nature of the sound requirement, i.e. its frequency range, temporal pattern and outputlevel will vary according to the nature of the installation, the type of risk present and appropriate measures to be taken, thetype of signals used for other non-fire emergency alarms (see, for example, EN 457) and national differences in custom andpractice. The resulting standard specifies, therefore, a common method for the testing of the operational performance ofsounders against the specification declared by the manufacturer rather than imposing common requirements.Attention is drawn to ISO 8201 : 1987, Acoustics - Audible emergency evacuation signal, the international standard whichspecifies the temporal pattern and the required sound pressure level of an audible emergency evacuation signal.This standard gives common requirements for the construction and robustness of sounders as well as for their performanceunder climatic, mechanical and electrical interference conditions which are likely to occur in the service environment. Thesounders have been classified in either an indoor or an outdoor application environment category.
