BS EN 54-5:2001 specifies the requirements, test methods and performance criteria for point heat detectors for use in fire detection and fire alarm systems for buildings (see BS EN 54-1:1996).
For other types of heat detector, or for detectors intended for use in other environments, this European standard should only be used for guidance. Heat detectors with special characteristics and developed for specific risks are not covered by this standard.
