EN 54

The EN 54 Fire detection and fire alarm systems is a series of European standards that includes product standards and application guidelines for fire detection and fire alarm systems as well as voice alarm systems.

The product standards define product characteristics, test methods and performance criteria against which the effectiveness and reliability of every component of fire detection and fire alarm system can be assessed and declared.

Many of the product standards of the EN 54 series are harmonised standards under the Construction Products Regulation (CPR) EU 305/2011. Annex ZA of the harmonised standards specifies which sections of the standard apply for the purposes of the CPR. Annex ZA also describes the two-stage certification:

  • certification of constancy of performance for the product (product certification) and
  • certification of conformity of factory production control (FPC certification)

This standard series is partly used around the world in several countries outside of European Union, for example in Latin American countries, Brasil, African and Asian countries and several islands in the Pacific Ocean.

Technical Committee CEN/TC72 Automatic fire detection system and fire alarm

The EN 54 series has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC72 "Automatic fire detection system and fire alarm" of the European Committee for Standardization (CEN, French: Comité Européen de Normalisation).
