Foreword
This document (prEN 54-30:2009) 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 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.
Introduction
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a product of the incomplete combustion of carbon-based materials. CO fire
detectors can react promptly to smouldering fires involving carbonaceous materials because CO does not
depend solely on convection, but also moves by diffusion. CO fire detectors might be better suited to
applications where other fire detection techniques are prone to false alarms, for example due to dust, steam
and cooking vapours. Detectors based on the use of CO sensors alone are covered by EN 54-26.
Some fires may not produce a sufficient amount of CO to trigger an alarm condition from a detector complying
with EN 54-26. These are typically free-burning, open, well ventilated fires. The inclusion of heat sensing
combined with CO sensing can increase the sensitivity of such a detector to these types of fires.
A number of different methods for sensing CO are suitable. However, most sensors will also be influenced by
other gases and phenomena. Tests have therefore been included in the test schedule to assess cross-
sensitivity to substances normally present in the service environment that may affect the performance of the
detector.
Test Fires TF2, TF3, TF4 and TF5 from EN 54-7 have been included to verify the detection performance. TF4
and TF5 specifically demonstrate the influence of the heat sensor(s). For these Test Fires, the CO level and,
where applicable, the temperature is used as test validity criteria.
Detectors may have modes of operation, in which only one fire phenomenon is evaluated. This standard does
not include tests for additional alarm outputs corresponding to the sensing of only one fire phenomenon.
Reference should be made to other parts of EN 54 which may cover such modes of operation or outputs.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN 54-1 and the following apply.
3.1
CO response threshold value
CO concentration in the proximity of the specimen at the moment that it generates an alarm signal, when
tested as described in 5.1.5
NOTE The response threshold value may depend on signal processing in the detector and in the control and
indicating equipment
3.2
rate-sensitive
behaviour of a detector that depends on the rate of change of CO concentration
4 Requirements
4.1 Compliance
In order to comply with this standard, the detector shall meet the requirements of this clause, which shall be
verified by visual inspection or engineering assessment, shall be tested as described in Clause 5 and shall
meet the requirements of the tests.
4.2 Individual alarm indication
Each detector shall be provided with an integral red visual indicator, by which the individual detector that
released an alarm, can be identified, until the alarm condition is reset. Where other conditions of the detector
can be visually indicated, they shall be clearly distinguishable from the alarm indication, except when the
detector is switched into a service mode. For detachable detectors, the indicator may be integral with the base
or the detector head. The visual indicator shall be visible from a distance of 6 m directly below the detector, in
an ambient light intensity up to 500 lux.
4.3 Connection of ancillary devices
Where the detector provides for connections to ancillary devices (e.g. remote indicators, control relays),
open- or short-circuit failures of these connections shall not prevent the correct operation of the detector.
4.4 Monitoring of detachable detectors
For detachable detectors, a means shall be provided for a remote monitoring system (e.g. the control and
indicating equipment) to detect the removal of the head from the base, in order to give a fault signal.

oSIST prEN 54-30:2009
prEN 54-30:2009 (E)
4.5 Manufacturer's adjustments
It shall not be possible to change the manufacturer's settings except by special means (e.g. the use of a
special code or tool) or by breaking or removing a seal.
4.6 On-site adjustment of response behaviour
If there is provision for on-site adjustment of the response behaviour of the detector then:
a) for each setting at which the manufacturer claims compliance with this standard, the detector shall comply
with the requirements of this standard, and access to the adjustment means shall only be possible by the
use of a code or special tool or by removing the detector from its base or mounting;
b) any setting(s) at which the manufacturer does not claim compliance with this standard, shall only be
accessible by the use of a code or special tool, and it shall be clearly marked on the detector or in the
associated data, that if these setting(s) are used, the detector does not comply with the standard.
NOTE These adjustments may be carried out at the detector or at the control and indicating equipment.
4.7 Rate-sensitive CO response
The CO response threshold value of the detector may depend on the rate of change of CO concentration in
the vicinity of the detector. Such behaviour may be incorporated in the detector design to improve the
discrimination between ambient CO levels and those generated by a fire. If such rate sensitive behaviour is
included then it shall not lead to a significant reduction in the detector’s sensitivity to fires, nor to a significant
increase in the probability of false alarm.
Since it is not practical to make tests with all possible rates of increase in CO concentration, an assessment of
the detector's rate sensitivity shall be made by analysis of the circuit/software, and/or physical tests and
simulations.
The detector shall be deemed to meet the requirements of this clause if this assessment shows that for
constant temperatures between the lower and upper limits of the temperature range as defined by the
manufacturer:
a) for any rate of increase in CO concentration less than 1 µl/l per minute the detector will signal an alarm
condition before the CO concentration reaches 60 µl/l, and;
b) the detector does not signal an alarm condition when subjected to a step change in CO concentration of
10 µl/l, superimposed on a background level between 0 and 3 µl/l.
4.8 Position of the heat sensors
Detector shall be constructed such that, at least, part of the heat sensing element(s) of its heat sensor(s) shall
not be less than 15 mm from the mounting surface of the detector.
4.9 Marking
Each detector shall be clearly marked with the following information:
a) the number and date of this standard (i.e. EN 54-30:xxxx);
b) the name or trademark of the manufacturer or supplier;
c) the model designation (type or number);
d) the wiring terminal designations;

e) some mark(s) or code(s) (e.g. serial number or batch code), by which the manufacturer can identify, at
least, the date or batch and place of manufacture, and the version number(s) of any software, contained
within the detector.
For detachable detectors, the detector head shall be marked with a), b), c) and e), and the base shall be
marked with, at least c) (i.e. its own model designation) and d).
