Introduction
This part of the European Standard EN 54 is drafted on the basis of a set of core requirements for operational
reliability (under 4.1.1), plus a number of free-standing additional requirements for operational reliability (under
4.1.2 to 4.1.14). It is expected that the core requirements under 4.1.1 would apply to all control and indicating
equipment, together with the requirements for durability under 4.2. Each set of additional requirements may
be separately provided for use in specific applications, as recommended in application guidelines, in order to
permit control and indicating equipment with many different combinations of functions to comply with this
European Standard.
Other functions associated with fire detection and fire alarm may also be provided, even if not specified in this
European Standard.

1 Scope
This European Standard specifies requirements, methods of test, and performance criteria for control and
indicating equipment (see item B of figure 1 of EN 54-1:2011) for use in fire detection and fire alarm systems
