Fire detection and fire alarm systems - Part 25: Components using radio links
This draft European Standard specifies requirements, test methods and performance criteria for components used in fire alarms systems, installed in and around buildings (either permanently or temporarily), which use radio frequency links (RF links) to communicate. It also provides requirements for the evaluation of conformity of the components to the requirements of this draft European Standard.
Where components work together and this requires knowledge of the system design, this document also specifies requirements on the system.
This draft European Standard provides for the assessment and verification of constancy of performance (AVCP) of components using radio links to this EN.
When the fire detection and fire alarm systems (FDAS) use wired and RF links, the relevant parts of EN 54 apply together with this document. Requirements relevant to wire links are superseded or modified by those included in this draft European Standard.
This draft European Standard does not restrict:
- the intended use of radio spectrum, e.g. frequency, power output of devices;
- the allowed maximum number of the components using RF links within the FDAS or one transmission path;
- the allowed maximum number of the components affected by loss of one transmission path.
These requirements relate to national regulations and can vary from member state to member state.
Brandmeldeanlagen - Teil 25: Bestandteile, die Hochfrequenz-Verbindungen nutzen
Dieser Europäische Norm-Entwurf legt Anforderungen, Prüfverfahren und Leistungsmerkmale für Bestandteile von Brandmeldeanlagen fest, die (dauerhaft oder vorübergehend) innerhalb und außerhalb von Gebäuden installiert werden und Hochfrequenz-Verbindungen (HF-Verbindungen) zur Kommunikation nutzen. Anforderungen an die Bewertung der Konformität der Bestandteile hinsichtlich der Anforderungen in diesem Europäischen Norm-Entwurf werden ebenfalls zur Verfügung gestellt.
Sofern das Zusammenwirken der Bestandteile Kenntnisse über die Ausführung der Anlage erfordert, enthält dieses Dokument auch Systemanforderungen.
Dieser Europäische Norm-Entwurf behandelt die Bewertung und Überprüfung der Leistungsbeständigkeit (AVCP) von Bestandteilen, die Hochfrequenzverbindungen nutzen, nach dieser EN.
Werden in Brandmeldeanlagen (BMA) sowohl Leitungen als auch HF-Verbindungen verwendet, gelten die entsprechenden Teile von EN 54 zusammen mit diesem Dokument. Anforderungen an leitungsgebundene Verbindungen werden ersetzt oder modifiziert durch die Anforderungen in diesem Europäischen Norm-Entwurf.
Dieser Europäische Norm-Entwurf gibt keine Einschränkungen hinsichtlich:
- der vorgesehenen Anwendung des Funkspektrums, z. B. Frequenz, Geräte-Ausgangsleistung,
- der zulässigen Höchstanzahl der Bestandteile, die HF-Verbindungen innerhalb der BMA oder eines
Übertragungsweges nutzen,
- der zulässigen Höchstanzahl der Bestandteile, die durch den Verlust eines Übertragungsweges beeinflusst werden.
Diese Anforderungen unterliegen nationalen Vorschriften und können von Mitgliedsland zu Mitgliedsland unterschiedlich sein.

Introduction
The aim of this draft European Standard is to define additional requirements to other parts of EN 54 and tests
that allow radio fire detection systems and components complying with them to be at least as efficient and
stable as wired fire detection systems and components complying with the current requirements of cable
based systems in the EN 54 standards.
System and component aspects are dealt with in this draft European Standard because it is difficult to
describe the components of a radio-linked system separately.
Capacity limitations with respect to the use of radio components may be specified in national technical rules or
guidelines.
Technical aspects of the assessment of frequencies, bands and channels should be considered.

1 Scope
This draft European Standard specifies requirements, test methods and performance criteria for components
used in fire alarms systems, installed in and around buildings (either permanently or temporarily), which use
radio frequency links (RF links) to communicate. It also provides requirements for the evaluation of conformity
of the components to the requirements of this draft European Standard.
Where components work together and this requires knowledge of the system design, this document also
specifies requirements on the system.
This draft European Standard provides for the assessment and verification of constancy of performance
(AVCP) of components using radio links to this EN.
When the fire detection and fire alarm systems (FDAS) use wired and RF links, the relevant parts of EN 54
apply together with this document. Requirements relevant to wire links are superseded or modified by those
included in this draft European Standard.
This draft European Standard does not restrict:
— the intended use of radio spectrum, e.g. frequency, power output of devices;
— the allowed maximum number of the components using RF links within the FDAS or one transmission
path;
— the allowed maximum number of the components affected by loss of one transmission path.
These requirements relate to national regulations and can vary from member state to member state.
