ISO 7240-5:2012 Fire detection and alarm systems. Part 5: Point-type heat detectors

ISO, 2012. — 42 p. Second edition 2012-06-15.
ISO 7240 (all parts) specifies components of fire detection and alarm systems, requirements for their interconnection and installation and the performance, testing, and servicing of parts or of complete systems. It provides
- local and/or remote signals to organizations having authority to respond to fire alarms, and
- signals to initiate the operation of fire protection equipment and other systems.
This part of ISO 7240 specifies requirements, test methods and performance criteria for point-type heat detectors for use in fire detection and fire alarm systems for buildings (see ISO 7240-1).
For other types of heat detector, or for detectors intended for use in other environments, this part of ISO 7240 should only be used for guidance. This part of ISO 7240 is not applicable to heat detectors with special characteristics and developed for specific risks.
