RS ISO 7240-15: 2014
Fire detection and alarm systems — Part 15: Point-type fire detectors using smoke and heat sensors

Abstract

This part of ISO 7240 specifies requirements, test methods, and performance criteria for point-type fire
detectors using smoke and heat sensors, incorporating in one mechanical enclosure at least one smoke
sensor and at least one other sensor which responds to heat, and in which the signal(s) of the smoke
sensor(s) is (are) combined with the signal(s) of the heat sensor(s).
The performance of a single sensor within the detector covered by this part of ISO 7240 cannot be
sufficient for conformity to other parts of ISO 7240 for the single sensor detector.
Certain types of detectors can contain radioactive materials. The national requirements for radiation
protection differ from country to country and they are not therefore specified in this standard.
However, such detectors are expected to conform to the national requirements and be in line with the
recommendations of the Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) of the Organization for Economic Co-operation
and Development (OECD)1).
For the testing of other types of detectors, or detectors working on different principles, this part of
ISO 7240 can be used only for guidance. Detectors with special characteristics, developed for specific
risks, are not covered in this part of ISO 7240.
