Fire detection and fire alarm systems - Part 7: Smoke detectors - Point detectors using scattered light, transmitted light or ionisation

This European Standard specifies the requirements, test methods and performance criteria for point smoke detectors that operate using scattered light, transmitted light or ionization, for use in fire detection and fie alarm systems for buildings (see EN 54-1: 1996).
For other types of smoke detector, or for smoke detectors working on different principles, this standard should only be used for guidance.  Smoke detectors with special characteristics and developed for specific risks are not covered by this standard.

Brandmeldeanlagen - Teil 7: Rauchmelder - Punktförmige Melder nach dem Streulicht-, Durchlicht- oder Ionisationsprinzip

Diese Europäische Norm legt Anforderungen, Prüfverfahren und Leistungsmerkmale für punktförmige Rauchmelder fest, die nach dem Streulicht-, Durchlicht- oder Ionisationsprinzip arbeiten und die in Brandmeldeanlagen für Gebäude eingesetzt werden (siehe EN 54 1:1996). Diese Europäische Norm umfasst punktförmige Rauchmelder mit mehr als einem Rauchsensor, die nach diesem Prinzip arbeiten, zusätzliche Anforderungen und Prüfverfahren für derartige Melder sind im Anhang N aufgeführt.
Für andere Typen von Rauchmeldern oder für Rauchmelder, die nach anderen Prinzipien arbeiten, sollte die vorliegende Norm nur als Leitfaden angewendet werden. Rauchmelder mit speziellen Merkmalen, entwickelt für besondere Risiken, sind nicht Gegenstand dieser Norm.
ANMERKUNG   Einige Meldertypen enthalten radioaktive Werkstoffe. Die nationalen Anforderungen für den Schutz gegen ionisierende Strahlung sind in den Ländern unterschiedlich und werden deshalb in der vorliegenden Norm nicht festgelegt.

Systèmes de détection et d'alarme incendie - Partie 7: Détecteurs de fumée - Détecteurs ponctuels fonctionnant suivant le principe de la diffusion de la lumière, de la transmission de la lumière ou de l'ionisation

La présente norme européenne spécifie les exigences, les méthodes d'essais et les critères de performance des détecteurs ponctuels fonctionnant suivant le principe de la diffusion de la lumière, de la transmission de la lumière ou de l'ionisation, utilisés dans les systèmes de détection et d'alarme incendie installés dans les bâtiments (voir EN 54-1:1996). La présente norme européenne comprend les détecteurs ponctuels de fumée qui ont plus d’un capteur de fumée fonctionnant suivant ces principes ; les exigences complémentaires et les méthodes d’essai de ces détecteurs sont fournies dans l’Annexe N.
Pour d'autres types de détecteurs de fumée ou pour ceux fonctionnant sur des principes différents, il convient d’utiliser cette partie de la norme comme un guide. Les détecteurs de fumée possédant des caractéristiques particulières, conçus pour des risques spéciaux, ne sont pas couverts par la présente norme.
NOTE   Certains types de détecteurs contiennent des matières radioactives. Les exigences nationales de radioprotection variant d'un pays à l'autre, celles-ci ne sont pas spécifiées dans la présente norme.
