Fire detection and fire alarm systems - Part 5: Heat detectors - Point detectors

This European Standard specifies the requirements, test methods and performance criteria for point heat detectors for use in fire detection and fie alarm systems for buildings (see EN 54-1: 1996).
For other types of heat detector, or for detectors intended for use in other environments, this standard should only be used for guidance.  Heat detectors with special characteristics and developed for specific risks are not covered by this standard.

Brandmeldeanlagen - Teil 5: Wärmemelder - Punktförmige Melder

Diese Europäische Norm legt Anforderungen, Prüfverfahren und Leistungsmerkmale für punktförmige Wärmemelder fest, die in Brandmeldeanlagen für Gebäude eingesetzt werden (siehe EN 54-1:1996).
Für andere Typen von Wärmemeldern, oder für Wärmemelder, die für die Anwendung unter anderen Umgebungsbedingungen vorgesehen sind, sollte die vorliegende Norm nur als Leitfaden angewendet werden. Wärmemelder mit speziellen Merkmalen, die für besondere Risiken entwickelt wurden, sind nicht Gegenstand dieser Norm.

Systèmes de détection et d'alarme incendie - Partie 5: Détecteurs de chaleur - Détecteurs ponctuels

La présente Norme européenne spécifie les exigences, les méthodes d'essai et les critères de performance des détecteurs ponctuels de chaleur utilisés dans les systèmes de détection et d'alarme incendie installés dans les bâtiments (voir EN 54-1:1996).
Pour d'autres types de détecteurs de chaleur ou pour ceux fonctionnant dans des environnements différents, il convient d'utiliser cette norme comme un guide. Les détecteurs de chaleur possédant des caractéristiques particulières, conçus pour des risques spéciaux, ne sont pas couverts par la présente norme.

1 Scope
This European Standard specifies the requirements, test methods and performance criteria for point heat
detectors for use in fire detection and fire alarm systems for buildings (see EN 54-1:1996).
For other types of heat detector, or for detectors intended for use in other environments, this standard should
only be used for guidance. Heat detectors with special characteristics and developed for specific risks are not
covered by this standard.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this standard, the following terms and definitions and those given in EN 54-1:1996 apply:
3.1

typical application temperature
temperature that an installed detector can be expected to experience for long periods of time in the absence
of a fire condition
NOTE This temperature is deemed to be 29 °C below the minimum static response temperature, according to the class
marked on the detector, as specified in Table 1.
3.2
maximum application temperature
maximum temperature that an installed detector can be expected to experience, even for short periods of
time, in the absence of a fire condition
NOTE This temperature is deemed to be 4 °C below the minimum static response temperature, according to the class
marked on the detector, as specified in Table 1.
3.3
static response temperature
temperature at which the detector would produce an alarm signal if subjected to a vanishingly small rate of
rise of temperature.
-1
NOTE Rates of rise of temperature of approximately 0,2 K min are normally found to be suitable for measuring this,
however lower rates can be required in some instances (see 5.3).

4 Requirements
4.1 General
4.1.1 Compliance
In order to comply with this standard the detector shall meet the requirements clause 4,, 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.
4.1.2 Classification
Detectors shall conform to one or more of the following classes: A1, A2, B, C, D, E, F or G according to the
requirements of the tests specified in clause 5 (see Table 1).
Table 1 — Detector classification temperatures
Detector Typical Maximum Minimum Static Maximum Static
Class Application Application Response Response
Temperature Temperature Temperature Temperature

°C °C °C °C
A1 25 50 54 65
A2 25 50 54 70
B 40 65 69 85
C 55 80 84 100
D 70 95 99 115
E 85 110 114 130
F 100 125 129 145
G 115 140 144 160

Manufacturers may optionally give additional information concerning the type of response exhibited by the
1)
detector, by adding the suffix S or R to the above classes . Detectors, which are marked with the letter S or R
as a suffix to the class marking, shall be tested in accordance with the applicable test, specified in
clause 5.3.7, and shall meet the requirements of that test, in addition to the tests of clause 5.

1)
Detectors, with a suffix S to their class, do not respond below the minimum static response temperature, applicable to
their classification (see Table 1), even at high rates of rise of air temperature. Detectors with a suffix R to their class,
incorporate a rate-of-rise characteristic, which meets the response time requirements (see Table 4) for high rates of rise of
air temperature even when starting at air temperatures substantially below the typical application temperature.

4.2 Operational reliability
4.2.1 Position of heat sensitive elements
Each detector shall be constructed such that at least part of its heat sensitive element(s), except elements
with auxiliary functions (e.g. characteristic correctors), shall be ≥ 15 mm from the mounting surface of the
detector. To confirm this, the detector shall be tested in accordance with clause 5.2.1.
4.2.2 Individual alarm indication
Class A1, A2, B, C or D detectors shall be provided with an integral red visual indicator, by which the
individual detector, which 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.
Class E, F or G detectors shall be provided with either an integral red indicator, or with another means for
locally indicating the alarm status of the detector. To confirm this, the detector shall be assessed in
