This European Standard gives the necessary information for the intended use of the series of EN 54 standards. The EN 54 series applies to fire detection and fire alarm systems in and around buildings composed of several components that communicate for the purpose of detecting fire at the earliest practicable moment, and to provide:

• local and/or remote fire alarms to organizations having authority to take care of buildings and their environment;

• signals to initiate, in the event of a fire, the operation of other fire protection and equipment/systems.

The EN 54 series may be used for other applications e.g. mines and ships, but one should consider the specific nature of each application before use. Additional performance and environmental tests may be necessary. This does not preclude the manufacture or use of systems having special characteristics suitable for the protection of specific risks against specific hazards.

1. As this revision of the standard includes terms and definitions collated from specific parts of EN 54, there may now be some duplication of terms and definitions in other parts. This situation will be corrected in future revisions of the different parts of EN 54 so that definitions are defined only once and are applied consistently throughout the series.Scope

This part of EN 54 defines the terms and definitions that are used throughout EN 54. It gives the principles on which each part of the standard has been based and describes the functions carried out by the components of a fire detection and fire alarm system.

This European Standard applies to fire detection and fire alarm systems in and around buildings.

This European Standard does not apply to smoke alarm devices which are covered by EN 14604.

2. General

   1. Standardization series

EN 54 specifies:

• requirements, test methods and performance criteria against which the effectiveness and reliability of the component parts of fire detection and fire alarm systems can be assessed;

• requirements and test methods against which the ability of components to be combined into an effective system can be assessed;

• guidelines for the incorporation and use of fire detection and fire alarm systems into buildings or other construction works.

The function of a fire detection and fire alarm system is:

• to detect fire at the earliest practicable moment, and to give signals and indications so that appropriate action can be taken;

• to give audible and/or visible signals to the occupants of the building who may be at risk from a fire.

The functions of a fire detection and fire alarm system may be grouped to form subsystems such as a fire detection subsystem and a voice alarm subsystem.

As the system is required to function satisfactorily, not only under fire conditions, but also when exposed to conditions likely to be met in practice, the tests specified in the EN 54 series are intended to assess the performance of the components and the system under such conditions.

The performance of components is assessed from the results obtained in the specified tests and from their ability to perform the required functions. This standard is not intended to place restrictions on the design or construction of components other than those necessary for the performance of desired functions.

The compliance of a component with the relevant part of EN 54 does not ensure that this component will necessarily function correctly when connected with another component also conforming to the relevant part of EN 54 (e.g. control and indicating equipment with a fire detector), unless both components have been assessed together as conforming to the requirements for a system.
