EN 54-13:2005 (E)
Introduction
The fire detection function is to detect a fire at the earliest practicable moment, and to give signals
and indications so that appropriate action can be taken.
The fire alarm function is to give, at least, audible and/or visible signals to the occupants of a building
who may be at risk from fire.
A fire detection and fire alarm system may combine the functions of detection and alarm in a single
system, and typically consists of a number of inter-linked components including automatic fire
detectors, manual call points and alarm sounders. These components are connected to control and
indicating equipment by means of one or more transmission paths. All system components, including
the control and indicating equipment, are also directly or indirectly connected to a power supply.
A fire detection and fire alarm system may also be linked to remote fault and fire alarm monitoring
stations, and to fire protection and/or building management systems. However these systems are not
considered as part of the fire detection and fire alarm system.
It is necessary that all the components constituting the fire detection and fire alarm system are
compatible or connectable, and that requirements relating to the performance of the overall system
are fulfilled.
Differentiation is made between components classified as components type 1 and other components
classified as components type 2.
System requirements are also included for those fire detection and fire alarm systems that are linked
to fire protection and/or other systems (e.g. building management systems).

SIST EN 54-13:2005
EN 54-13:2005 (E)
5.2 General test requirements
5.2.1 Standard atmospheric conditions for tests
Unless otherwise stated in a test procedure, the testing shall be carried out after the test specimen
has been allowed to stabilize in the standard atmospheric conditions for testing as described in
EN 60068-1:1994 as follows:
a) Temperature 15 °C to 35 °C;
b) Relative humidity 25 % to 75 %;
c) Air pressure 86 kPa to 106 kPa.
If variations in these parameters have a significant effect on a measurement, then such variations
shall be kept to a minimum during a series of measurements carried out as part of one test on one
specimen.
5.2.2 Mounting and electrical connection
5.2.2.1 The components shall be mounted by the normal means of mounting indicated by the
manufacturer.
5.2.2.2 The input and output connections shall be made in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions.
5.2.2.3 If more than one type of cable is specified, each test shall be carried out with the one
considered to be the least favourable.
5.3 Functional test for compatibility
5.3.1 The objective of the test
The objective of the test is to check the compliance of the components in a defined configuration
covered by the specifications given by the manufacturer and within the limits given in the relevant
parts of EN 54.
5.3.2 Test schedule
5.3.2.1 A test schedule shall be drawn up in order to check if the components exercise their
functions (fire alarm, fault warning, disabled condition, test condition etc.) correctly within the
specifications given by the manufacturer and the relevant part of EN 54, indicating that the
components are fully operational.
5.3.2.2 During testing, implemented functions of the FDAS shall be activated in sequence
(except when it is specified differently).
5.3.2.3 Each functional test shall be carried out at:
the minimum supply voltage of the CIE with the maximum load on all transmission paths;
the maximum supply voltage of the CIE with the minimum load on all transmission paths.
NOTE 1 The load includes the number of components and the length of the cables.
NOTE 2 The maximum load on all transmission paths means that at least one transmission path is fully
loaded. The other transmission path(s) may either be fully loaded or have their load simulated.

---------------------- Page: 14 ----------------------
SIST EN 54-13:2005
EN 54-13:2005 (E)
NOTE 3 The minimum load on all transmission paths means that at least one transmission path is loaded with
one component under consideration and there is no load on the other transmission path(s) unless it is necessary
for the functional test.
5.3.2.4 During each of the conditions given in 5.3.3 to 5.3.6, the power and/or data parameters
on the transmission path shall be within the manufacturer’s specifications for the connected
components.
5.3.3 Fire alarm condition

the manufacturer’s instructions under the conditions specified in 5.3.2.
5.3.3.2 Criteria of acceptance
The following criteria of acceptance shall be met for the functional test of the fire alarm condition:
the activation of one component or two components simultaneously (if it is technically possible for
two components to simultaneously enter the fire alarm status) with subsequent activation of
further components shall lead to the fire alarm condition of the system;
