EN 50849:2017

Sound systems for emergency purposes

This European Standard specifies the performance requirements for sound systems which are primarily intended to broadcast information for the protection of lives within one or more specified areas in an emergency. It also gives the characteristics and the methods of test necessary for the specification of the system. This European Standard applies to sound reinforcement and distribution systems to be used to effect a rapid and orderly mobilization of occupants in an indoor or outdoor area in an emergency, including systems using loudspeakers to broadcast voice announcements for emergency purposes and attention-drawing or alarm tone signals. This European Standard does not apply to emergency sound systems used for evacuation in case of fire emergency, whether connected to a fire detection and fire alarm system or not. NOTE 1 The use of the system for normal sound reinforcement and distribution systems purposes under non-hazardous circumstances is not excluded. It is recommended that the system, when used for emergency purposes, should form part of a complete facility (equipment, operating procedures and training programmes) for the control of emergencies. NOTE 2 Sound systems for emergency purposes may be the subject of approval by relevant authorities.

Elektroakustische Notfallwarnsysteme

Systèmes électroacoustiques pour situations d'urgence

La présente Norme européenne spécifie les exigences de performances qui s'appliquent à des systèmes sonores prévus principalement pour diffuser des informations pour la protection des vies dans une ou plusieurs zones prédéfinies en cas de situation d'urgence. Elle donne également les caractéristiques et les méthodes d'essais nécessaires à la spécification du système. La présente Norme européenne s'applique aux systèmes de sonorisation et de diffusion destinés à mobiliser de façon rapide et ordonnée les occupants d'une zone intérieure ou extérieure en cas de situation d'urgence, y compris des systèmes utilisant des haut-parleurs pour diffuser des annonces vocales pour des situations d'urgence et des signaux de mise en garde ou des tonalités d'alarme. La présente Norme européenne ne s'applique pas aux systèmes sonores d'urgence utilisés pour l'évacuation en cas d'urgence incendie, qu'ils soient connectés à un système de détection d'incendie et d'alarme incendie, ou non. NOTE 1 L'utilisation de ce système aux fins de sonorisation et de diffusion normale en l'absence de danger n'est pas exclue. Il convient que le système, s'il sert à des situations d'urgence, fasse partie d'une installation complète pour la commande des urgences (matériels, procédures d'utilisation et programmes de formation). NOTE 2 Les systèmes sonores pour situations d'urgence peuvent être soumis à l'approbation des autorités compétentes.

Elektroakustični sistemi za opozarjanje v nevarnosti

Ta evropski standard določa zahteve glede zmogljivosti za zvočne sisteme, ki so namenjeni predvsem prenosu informacij za zaščito življenj na enem ali več določenih območjih v primeru nevarnosti. Prav tako določa lastnosti in preskusne metode, potrebne za specifikacijo sistema.
Ta evropski standard se uporablja za sisteme zvočne ojačitve in distribucije, ki se uporabljajo za hitro in urejeno mobilizacijo potnikov na notranjem ali zunanjem območju v primeru nevarnosti, vključno s sistemi, ki uporabljajo zvočnike za oddajanje glasovnih sporočil za primere nevarnosti in predvajanje opozorilnih ali alarmnih zvokovnih signalov.
Ta evropski standard se ne uporablja za zvočne sisteme za primere nevarnosti, ki se uporabljajo za evakuacijo v primeru požara in so povezani s sistemom za odkrivanje in javljanje požara ali ne.
OPOMBA 1: Uporaba sistema za običajne namene ojačitve in distribucije zvoka v nenevarnih primerih ni izključena.
Priporočljivo je, da je sistem, če se uporablja v primerih nevarnosti, sestavni del celotnega objekta (opreme, operativnih postopkov in programov usposabljanja) za nadzor izrednih razmer.
OPOMBA 2: Zvočni sistemi za primere nevarnosti so lahko predmet odobritve ustreznih organov.
