ISO 7240-6:2011 Fire detection and alarm systems. Part 6: Carbon monoxide fire detectors using electro-chemical cells

ISO, 2011. — 52 p. Second edition 2011-06-15.
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 fire detectors using electro-chemical cells that operate using carbon-monoxide detection principles for use in fire detection and alarm systems installed in buildings (see ISO 7240-1).
For the testing of other types of CO fire detectors working on different principles, this part of ISO 7240 can be used only for guidance. Fire detectors with special characteristics and developed for specific risks are not covered by this part of ISO 7240.
