Fire detection and fire alarm systems - Part 25: Components using radio links

This European Standard specifies requirements, test methods and performance criteria for components used in fire alarms systems, installed in and around buildings, which use radio frequency links (RF links) to communicate. It also provides requirements for the evaluation of conformity of the components to the requirements of this European Standard.
Where components work together and this requires knowledge of the system design, this document also specifies requirements on the system.
When the fire detection and fire alarm systems (FDAS) use wired and RF links, the relevant parts of EN 54 apply together with this document. Requirements relevant to wire links are superseded or modified by those included in this European Standard.
This document does not restrict:
   the intended use of radio spectrum, e.g. frequency, power output of devices;
   the allowed maximum number of the components using RF links within the FDAS or one transmission path and/or RF link;
   the allowed maximum number of the components affected by loss of one transmission path and/or RF link.
These requirements relate to national regulations and can vary from member state to member state.

Brandmeldeanlagen - Teil 25: Bestandteile, die Hochfrequenz-Verbindungen nutzen

Diese Europäische Norm legt Anforderungen, Prüfverfahren und Leistungsmerkmale für Bestandteile von Brandmeldeanlagen fest, die innerhalb und außerhalb von Gebäuden installiert werden und Hochfrequenz-Verbindungen (HF-Verbindungen) zur Kommunikation nutzen. Anforderungen an die Bewertung der Konformität der Bestandteile hinsichtlich der Anforderungen in dieser Europäischen Norm werden ebenfalls zur Verfügung gestellt.
Da das Zusammenwirken der Bestandteile Kenntnisse über das Brandmeldesystem erfordert, enthält dieses Dokument ebenfalls Systemanforderungen.
Werden in Brandmeldeanlagen (BMA) sowohl Leitungen als auch HF-Verbindungen verwendet, gelten die entsprechenden Teile von EN 54 zusammen mit diesem Dokument. Anforderungen an drahtgebundene Verbindungen werden ersetzt oder modifiziert durch die Anforderungen in dieser Europäischen Norm.
Dieses Dokument gibt keine Einschränkungen hinsichtlich:
   der vorgesehenen Anwendung des Funkspektrums, z. B. Frequenz, Geräte-Ausgangsleistung,
   der zulässigen Höchstanzahl der Bestandteile, die HF-Verbindungen innerhalb der BMA oder eines
Übertragungsweges und/oder auf einer HF-Verbindung nutzen,
   der zulässigen Höchstanzahl der Bestandteile, die durch den Verlust eines Übertragungsweges und/oder einer HF-Verbindung beeinflusst werden.
Diese Anforderungen unterliegen nationalen Vorschriften und können von Land zu Land unterschiedlich sein.

Systèmes de détection et d'alarme incendie - Partie 25: Composants utilisant des liaisons radioélectriques

La présente Norme européenne définit les exigences, les méthodes d'essai et les critères de performance pour les composants utilisés dans les systèmes d'alarme incendie installés dans les bâtiments et autour de ceux-ci, qui utilisent des liaisons radioélectriques pour communiquer. Elle spécifie également les exigences pour l'évaluation de la conformité des composants aux exigences de la présente Norme européenne.
Lorsque les composants fonctionnent ensemble et que cela nécessite la connaissance de la conception du système, le présent document spécifie également les exigences relatives au système.
Lorsque les systèmes de détection et d'alarme incendie (SDAI) emploient des liaisons radioélectriques et filaires, les parties concernées de la série EN 54 s'appliquent. Les exigences spécifiées dans la présente Norme européenne annulent et remplacent ou modifient les exigences concernant les liaisons filaires.
Le présent document ne traite pas les éléments suivants :
   l'usage prévu du spectre radioélectrique, par exemple la fréquence, la puissance de sortie des dispositifs ;
   le nombre maximal autorisé de composants utilisant des liaisons radioélectriques dans le SDAI ou une voie de transmission et/ou liaison radioélectrique ;
   le nombre maximal autorisé de composants affectés par la perte d'une voie de transmission et/ou liaison radioélectrique.
Ces exigences se rapportent aux réglementations nationales et peuvent varier d'un Etat membre à l'autre.

Sistemi za odkrivanje in javljanje požara ter alarmiranje - 25. del: Sestavni deli za radijske povezave

Ta evropski standard določa zahteve, preskusne metode in merila za delovanje za sestavne dele, ki se uporabljajo v sistemih za javljanje požara ter alarmiranje, nameščene v in okoli stavb, ki uporabljajo radijsko frekvenčne povezave (RF povezave) za komunikacijo. Prav tako podaja zahteve za vrednotenje skladnosti sestavnih delov z zahtevami tega evropskega standarda. Kadar sestavni deli delujejo skupaj, kar zahteva poznavanje načrtovanja sistema, ta dokument prav tako določa zahteve za sistem. Kadar sistemi za odkrivanje in javljanje požara ter alarmiranje (FDAS) uporabljajo ožičene in RF povezave, veljajo ustrezni deli EN 54 skupaj z tem dokumentom. Zahteve, ki se nanašajo na ožičene povezave, so izpodrinjene ali spremenjene z tistimi, ki so vključene v ta evropski standard. Ta dokument ne omejuje: - predvidene uporabe radijskega spektra, npr. frekvence, izhodno moč naprav; - dovoljenega največje števila sestavnih delov, ki uporabljajo RF povezave v okviru FSAD ali ene prenosne potu in/ali RF povezave; - dovoljeno največje število sestavnih delov, na katere vpliva izguba ene poti prenosa in/ali RF povezave. Te zahteve se nanašajo na nacionalne predpise in se lahko razlikujejo med državami članicami.
