Fire detection and fire alarm systems - Part 3: Fire alarm devices - Sounders
EN 54-3 specifies the requirements, test methods and performance criteria for fire alarm sounders, including voice sounders, in a fixed installation intended to signal an audible warning between the fire detection and fire alarm systems and the occupants of a building (see EN 54-1:2011). This European Standard provides for the assessment and verification of constancy of performance (AVCP) of fire alarm sounders to this EN. This European Standard is not intended to cover: a) loudspeaker type devices primarily intended for emitting emergency voice messages that are generated from an external audio source; b) supervisory sounders, for example, within the control and indicating equipment.
Brandmeldeanlagen - Teil 3: Feueralarmeinrichtungen Akustische Signalgeber
Diese Europäische Norm legt die Anforderungen, Prüfverfahren und Leistungskriterien für akustische Signalgeber, einschließlich Sprachsignalgeber, fest, die in einer ortsfesten Installation für die Abgabe einer akustischen Warnung von einer Brandmeldeanlage an die Personen im Gebäude vorgesehenen sind (siehe EN 54 1:2011).
Diese Europäische Norm sieht die Bewertung und Überprüfung der Leistungsbeständigkeit (AVCP) von akustischen Signalgebern nach dieser EN vor.
Diese Europäische Norm ist nicht dafür vorgesehen, Folgendes abzudecken:
a) Lautsprechereinrichtungen, die primär für die Aussendung von Alarmdurchsagen vorgesehen sind, die in externen Audioquellen erzeugt werden;
b) Statustongeber, die z. B. innerhalb von Brandmelderzentralen vorgesehen sind.
Systèmes de détection et d'alarme incendie - Partie 3: Dispositifs sonores d'alarme feu
La présente Norme européenne spécifie les exigences, les méthodes d'essai et les critères de performance pour les dispositifs sonores d'alarme feu, y compris les alarmes vocales, d’une installation fixe, prévue pour diffuser un signal sonore d'alarme incendie depuis le système de détection et d'alarme incendie vers les occupants d'un bâtiment (voir l'EN 54-1:2011).
La présente Norme européenne prévoit l'évaluation et la vérification de la constance des performances (EVCP) des dispositifs sonores d'alarme feu par rapport à la présente EN.
La présente Norme européenne n'est pas prévue pour traiter :
a) des dispositifs du type à haut-parleurs, dont la fonction première est de diffuser des messages d'urgence générés par une source audio externe ;
b) des bruiteurs installés, par exemple, dans les équipements de contrôle et de signalisation.
Sistemi za odkrivanje in javljanje požara ter alarmiranje - 3. del: Naprave za alarmiranje - Zvočne naprave
Standard EN 54-3 določa zahteve, preskusne metode in merila delovanja za zvočne naprave za alarmiranje, vključno z glasovnimi napravami, v vgrajenih napravah, namenjenih signaliziranju zvočnega opozorila med sistemi za odkrivanje in javljanje požara ter alarmiranje ter uporabniki stavbe (glej standard EN 54-1:2011). Ta evropski standard zagotavlja ocenjevanje in preverjanje nespremenljivosti lastnosti (AVCP) zvočnih naprav za alarmiranje za ta standard. Ta evropski standard ni namenjen obravnavanju: a) naprav, podobnih zvočnikom, namenjenih zlasti oddajanju glasovnih sporočil v sili, ki jih proizvaja zunanji zvočni vir; b) nadzornih zvočnih naprav, ki se na primer nahajajo v nadzorni in indikatorski opremi.

Introduction
The purpose of a fire alarm sounder is to warn person(s) within, or in the vicinity of, a building of the
occurrence of a fire emergency situation in order to enable such a person(s) to take appropriate measures.
This European Standard recognizes that the exact nature of the sound requirements, i.e. its frequency range,
temporal pattern and output level will vary according to the nature of the installation, the type of risk present
and appropriate measures to be taken, the type of signals used by other non-emergency alarms (see, for
example, EN ISO 7731) and national differences in custom and practice. The resulting standard specifies,
therefore, a common method for the testing of the operational performance of sounders against the
specification declared by the manufacturer rather than imposing common requirements.
In some European countries, specific frequencies of sound and sound patterns are used. These may be given
in national codes or standards (see Annex D). Attention is drawn to national safety regulations which may
specify maximum safe sound pressure level received by occupants of a building.
Attention is also drawn to ISO 8201:1987, Acoustics – Audible emergency evacuation signal, the international
standard which specifies the temporal pattern and the required sound pressure level of an audible emergency
evacuation signal.
This European Standard gives common requirements for sounders as well as for their performance under
climatic, mechanical and electrical interference conditions which are likely to occur in the service environment.
This European Standard covers sounders for either an indoor or an outdoor application environment category.
In fire detection and fire alarm systems, voice sounders are used as alarm devices for warning the occupants
of a building of the occurrence of a fire risk, using a combination of an attention-drawing signal and dedicated
voice message(s). The requirements, test methods and performance criteria specified in this standard for
sounders are also applicable to voice sounders. Additional requirements, test methods and performance
criteria specific to voice sounders are also incorporated.

1 Scope
This European Standard specifies the requirements, test methods and performance criteria for fire alarm
sounders, including voice sounders, in a fixed installation intended to signal an audible warning between the
fire detection and fire alarm systems and the occupants of a building (see EN 54-1:2011).
This European Standard provides for the assessment and verification of constancy of performance (AVCP) of
fire alarm sounders to this EN.
This European Standard is not intended to cover:
a) loudspeaker type devices primarily intended for emitting emergency voice messages that are generated
from an external audio source;
b) supervisory sounders, for example, within the control and indicating equipment.
