The EU regime within fire alarm systems are beginning to get harmonized through the Construction Product Directive (CPD). At least heat and smoke detectors (transition period to 2005), but the fire alarm panel / central unit is still many years away. The essential standard series is EN54 (published by CEN) Some national certification bodies accepts test reports from foreign countries, but you may have to negotiate a bit .....

Fra: [email protected] mailto:[email protected]]På vegne av Henry Rutjes Sendt: 14. november 2003 09:10 Til: peter merguerian; [email protected] Emne: RE: Security and Alarm Systems Hi Peter, The CEI Standards you mention are Italian National security standards. In Europe most individual member states do have their own national requirements (standards). There are a few harmonized published standards in Europe i.e. the EN 50131-1 (general requirements on alarm equipment) but still there are also ones in the pr EN stage. Since there is no European alarm Directive each European member state is not obliged to follow the European norms. Therefore we see that a lot of countries (still) only accept tests performed according to their own national requirements. Telefication can offer you to perform all European related alarm tests and in addition we can test the national deviations for a number of countries. For more information look at our web site or drop me a mail.
