European foreword
This document (prEN 54-2:2015) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 72 “Fire detection and
fire alarm systems”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 54-2:1997.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the
European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s).
For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document.
EN 54-2 has been revised to comply with the requirements of the CPR and to align it with CEN rules for the
drafting of harmonized standards. The changes required a complete reformatting of the standard to place the
requirements in Clause 4 and the test requirements in Clause 5. As a result there is direct correlation between
the subclauses in Clause 4 and Clause 5. A reader may therefore compare the requirement in 4.x.y.z with its
respective test in 5.x.y.z.
Normative references have been updated to reflect the current status of referenced standards and for
combined CIE and PSUs this standard should be used in conjunction with EN 54-4.
CIE often have to have different features to meet national regulations or to correctly function in different types
of applications and it is not always commercially acceptable to provide all of the features that might be
required in every possible circumstance. EN 54-2:1997 met this by having options with requirements, but this
is not allowed under current drafting conventions. To overcome this problem this standard is structured in
such a way as to allow manufacturers to declare which of the requirements have been incorporated in the
supplied equipment. Some requirements are essential for all CIE (Subclauses 4.2.1 and 4.3 to 4.4), in which case
the standard uses the term 'shall'. But for those functions that have a more limited application the term 'may' is
used. To allow this, all of the requirements relating to each optional feature are gathered together under the
same clause or subclause.
Experience with EN 54:1997 showed that some of the requirements were open to misinterpretation.
TC 72/WG 7 has therefore tried to rephrase the requirements very carefully to ensure that the intent of each
requirement is very clear. It may be necessary to modify some equipment that was certified as compliant with
the original standard, where misinterpretations have been applied. However the intention of the committee
was not to introduce significant technical changes to core requirements, although some new optional features
have been added to meet current practice in some applications.
In order to make the standard easier to read, abbreviations are used when referencing other functions of the
fire alarm system, these are defined in Clause 3.
EN 54-13 currently contains requirements for safe operation of the fire system when partial open and partial
short circuits are applied to transmission paths. This means that a compliant EN 54-2 panel might not comply
with EN 54-13. This is clearly undesirable so an optional clause for this is now included in EN 54-2.
Where a minimum performance is required in part 2, for example the time to respond to a fire signal from a
manual call point, it is now allowed for a manufacturer to declare a better response, so long as the equipment
actually achieves the better performance. This might be required by certain national codes.

As with EN 54-2:1997 annexes are used to deal with specific subjects, informative annexes give information
which is intended to help the reader understand the objectives of the standards. Some annexes, e.g Annex ZA
are required to comply with the CPR.
It is important not to read into the standard things which are not there. For example the audible indication is
not intended to be the same as the output to C. The current structure of the standard should make this more
clear because all of the requirements for a specific option are contained in the same section, under the same
heading in the standard.
Some clarification has been made to the requirements relating to a System Fault. This is a special type of fault
where the requirements are different to general faults, particularly with respect to entering the fault warning
condition.
The test requirements for environmental tests now refer to EN 50130-5, and the format of EMC test
requirements referring to EN 50130-4 are now treated in a similar way, that is each test type is separately
specified.
Some changes have been made to the display requirements for disablements to addressable alarm devices,
output to C. This is to correct an error that was unintentionally introduced in a previous amendment.
