(Amendment)Fire detection and fire alarm systems - Part 3: Fire alarm devices - Sounders
Fire detection and fire alarm systems - Part 3: Fire alarm devices - Sounders
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.

9 Modification to 4.3.1, Sound pressure level
Replace third paragraph with the following text:
"When tested in accordance with 5.3.1 the sounder shall produce A-weighted sound pressure levels of

Sequence steps Duration
a) attention-drawing signal 2 s to 10 s
b) silence 0,25 s to 2 s
c) voice message ≤ 30 s
d) silence 0,25 s to 2 s
The time between the start of each cycle shall not exceed 30 s. The periods of silence may need to be
longer than indicated in certain circumstances, for example in spaces with long reverberation times, but

12 Modification to 5.1.2, Operating conditions for tests
Delete the fourth paragraph, which reads:

working voltage of the internal batteries may be used in place of the normal internal batteries on radio
devices. This external power supply should be such that the maximum current is taken by the alarm
device during the test.".
