Introduction
Security Fog Devices are used both as a deterrent device for building security and as a crime
reduction device for the protection of people.
This European Standard applies to a Security Fog Device that can be connected to an Intruder and
Hold-up Alarm System (I&HAS). It can assist insurers, intruder alarm companies, customers and the
police in understanding the principles and specifications of a Security Fog Device.
The purpose of a Security Fog Device is to reduce the visibility in a protected area by the use of a
non-toxic fog in order to form a barrier between the criminal and the criminal’s intended target.
This European Standard is not intended to cover standalone or mobile Security Fog Devices.
This European Standard has been designed to be flexible enough to encourage and encompass
future developments in the field of Security Fog Devices.

EN 50131-8:2019 (E)
For that assessment, the laboratory shall use pollutant specific standards referenced in EN 482 or
EN ISO 16000-1.
The non-toxicity assessment shall be repeated after each modification to the SFD or to the
consumable that can affect the toxicity of the ejected/emitted fog. It is the manufacturer’s responsibility
to decide whether such a change in design or formulation has occurred.
6.5 Pressure vessels requirements
When SFD includes a pressure vessel as propelling gas container, the container and its accessories
shall be such that:
— Maximum working pressure ≤ 30 bar (3 MPa)

— “Ps x V” ≤ 50 bar.litre (5 MPa.dm )
— Minimum working temperature ≤ -10 °C, but ≥ -50 °C
— Maximum working temperature ≥ 75 °C, but ≤ 300 °C for steel containers and ≤ 100 °C for
aluminium containers

provisions of the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS).
NOTE Safety Data Sheets (SDS) in GHS format also comply with the European “CLP regulation” EC No
1272/2008 and its amendments.
6.7 Energy efficiency
Energy consumption of the SFD in idle mode shall be measured and the results included in the
documentation (see the testing procedure in Annex C).
