Overview

EN 12259-3:2000 - part of the CEN suite for fixed firefighting systems - defines the construction and performance requirements for dry alarm valve assemblies, accelerators and exhausters used in automatic sprinkler and water spray systems. This Part applies where sprinkler systems are designed in accordance with annexes A and B of prEN 12845 (Fixed firefighting systems - Automatic sprinkler systems - Design and Installation). Auxiliary attachments to dry alarm valve assemblies are excluded.

Key topics

  • Scope and applicability: clarifies which dry alarm valve assemblies, accelerators and exhausters are covered for use in automatic sprinkler and water spray systems.
  • Construction requirements: sets expectations for how assemblies should be built to be suitable for dry-pipe applications and integration with sprinkler networks.
  • Performance requirements: defines functional performance parameters that assemblies must meet to operate reliably as part of automatic sprinkler systems.
  • Interface and compatibility: ensures components are compatible with the design and installation principles referenced in prEN 12845 (annexes A and B).
  • Exclusions: auxiliary components and attachments to dry alarm valve assemblies are explicitly not covered by this standard.

Applications

EN 12259-3 is focused on components used where water is held back under air pressure (dry systems) until sprinkler operation is required. Typical practical applications include:

  • Unheated buildings, warehouses and storage facilities where freeze risk makes wet systems unsuitable.
  • Industrial and commercial sites requiring rapid alarm signalling when a dry-pipe system is activated.
  • Design and installation projects specifying dry valve assemblies to comply with European standards and regulatory requirements.

Who uses this standard

  • Fire protection system designers and engineers specifying dry alarm valves, accelerators and exhausters.
  • Manufacturers and component suppliers seeking conformity with CEN performance and construction requirements.
  • Installers and commissioning teams integrating dry valve assemblies into sprinkler systems designed to prEN 12845.
  • Authorities having jurisdiction, specifiers and building owners verifying that selected components meet recognized European standards.
