This document (EN 54-13:2005) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 72 “Fire detection and fire alarm systems”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI.

This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by November 2005, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by May 2007.

According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.

This document has been prepared in co-operation with the CEA (Comite Europeen des Assurances) and with EURALARM (Association of European Manufacturers of Fire and Intruder Alarm Systems).

EN 54 is published in a series of parts. Information on the relationship between this document and other standards of the EN 54 series is given in Annex A of EN 54-1:1996.

EN 54-1 provides additional information about the components performing those functions that are listed in Annex A of this document.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.

1. 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).Scope

This document specifies the requirements for compatibility and connectability assessment of system components that either comply with the requirements of EN 54 or with a manufacturer's specification where there is no EN 54 standard. This document only includes system requirements when these are necessary for compatibility assessment.

This document also specifies requirements for the integrity of the fire detection and fire alarm system when connected to other systems.

This document does not specify the manner in which the system is designed, installed and used in any particular application.

This document recognizes that it is not practical to assess the compatibility or connectability of components in all possible configurations. Methods of assessment are specified to reach an acceptable degree of confidence within pre-determined operational and environmental conditions.

This document specifies requirements related to compatibility and connectability assessment methods and tests for the system components.

This document is applicable to systems where the components are connected to control and indicating equipment and where the components are interconnected by electrical wires.

For fire detection and fire alarm systems that use other means of interconnection (for example optical fibre or radio frequency links), this document may be used as guidance.

NOTE Other European Standards are expected to cover the requirements of the other systems to which the fire detection and fire alarm system may be connected.

4. Requirements

   1. Compliance

In order to comply with this standard, the system design and compatibility or connectability of its components shall meet the requirements of this clause. This shall be verified by assessment (5.1) with reference to the required documentation (4.7), shall be tested (if necessary) as described in 5.2 to 5.5 and shall meet the requirements of the tests.

System requirements can also be stated in national application guidelines (also known as codes of practice). Suppliers of components shall ensure that they:

the main CIE, it shall be clearly indicated on the main CIE which part(s) is (are) lost.

EXAMPLE An example of a general condition is a fire condition at a subsystem CIE.

If detailed information is provided then it shall be consistent throughout the system.

EXAMPLE An example of provision of detailed information is a fire condition on a zone of a subsystem CIE.

NOTE Where faults exist in more than one transmission path connecting one or more CIE to the main CIE, the mandatory (as defined in EN 54-2) functions of the hierarchical system can be affected. In that case, it is preferable to connect the device type "E" (as defined in EN 54-1) directly to each CIE.

Any software that is used for networking shall conform to EN 54-2:1997, Clause 13.

NOTE Annex A provides additional guidance.

NOTE Application guidelines may require that the consequences of a fault (for example a short circuit or an interruption) on a transmission path are limited.

Input and output devices linked to a fire protection system shall be considered as component type 1.

The documentation shall include the specifications of the input/output signals of each input/output device.

NOTE 1 The transmission path between the systems is monitored either by the FDAS or by the FPS. Details should be included within the documentation.

NOTE 2 The FDAS includes the whole of the input device transferring signals from the FPS to the fire detection and fire alarm system and the whole of the output device transferring signals from the fire detection and fire alarm system to the fire protection system. (Figure 1 shows this arrangement).

4.6.2 Input device transferring signals from a fire protection system

If a device of an FPS passes signals to the FDAS then the CIE of the FDAS shall enter the appropriate functional condition. Signals from the FPS shall be clearly identifiable as originating from the FPS.

1. Input devices may transfer signals of a fire detected by a sprinkler system: this is indicated as a fire alarm condition.

2. Input devices may transfer signals of a fault in the wiring of a fixed firefighting system: this is indicated as a fault warning condition.

4.7 Documentation

The system documentation shall include documentation for compatibility and, if necessary, for connectability.

NOTE Documentation, prepared by the supplier, allows the testing authority to make the assessment of compatibility and connectability within the configuration(s) defined by the supplier.

To allow the assessment of compatibility of a FDAS to be completed, the following documents shall be supplied:

1. a list of components type 1 that make up the FDAS with a unique identification of each component including software versions;

2. technical information facilitating the justification of compatibility;

3. necessary evidence (e.g. test reports or certificate of conformity) for the conformity of the components to the relevant part of the EN 54;

4. characteristics of the transmission path(s) between each component and the CIE including the specifications of cables;

5. the limits of use of the system (configuration, number of components, functional limits, etc.).

To allow the assessment of connectability to be completed, the following documents shall be supplied:

1. a list of the components type 2 intended to be used in conjunction with the FDAS with a unique identification of each component and its functions (part of the unique identification including the software version if it is involved in connectability). If component type 2 is connected through a common standardized interface, the unique identification is not needed;

2. technical information facilitating the justification of the connectability of component type 2;

3. characteristics of the transmission path(s) between each component and the CIE including the specifications of cables;

4. the limits of use of the system (configuration, number of components, functional limits etc.).
