This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by November 2005, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by May 2007. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. This document has been prepared in co-operation with the CEA (Comité Européen des Assurances) and with EURALARM (Association of European Manufacturers of Fire and Intruder Alarm Systems). EN 54 is published in a series of parts. Information on the relationship between this document and other standards of the EN 54 series is given in Annex A of EN 54-1:1996. EN 54-1 provides additional information about the components performing those functions that are listed in Annex A of this document.

EN 54-13:2005 (E) 4 Introduction The fire detection function is to detect a fire at the earliest practicable moment, and to give signals and indications so that appropriate action can be taken. The fire alarm function is to give, at least, audible and/or visible signals to the occupants of a building who may be at risk from fire. A fire detection and fire alarm system may combine the functions of detection and alarm in a single system, and typically consists of a number of inter-linked components including automatic fire detectors, manual call points and alarm sounders. These components are connected to control and indicating equipment by means of one or more transmission paths. All system components, including the control and indicating equipment, are also directly or indirectly connected to a power supply. A fire detection and fire alarm system may also be linked to remote fault and fire alarm monitoring stations, and to fire protection and/or building management systems. However these systems are not considered as part of the fire detection and fire alarm system. It is necessary that all the components constituting the fire detection and fire alarm system are compatible or connectable, and that requirements relating to the performance of the overall system are fulfilled. Differentiation is made between components classified as components type 1 and other components classified as components type 2. System requirements are also included for those fire detection and fire alarm systems that are linked to fire protection and/or other systems (e.g. building management systems).

EN 54-13:2005 (E) 5 1 Scope This document specifies the requirements for compatibility and connectability assessment of system components that either comply with the requirements of EN 54 or with a manufacturer s specification where there is no EN 54 standard. This document only includes system requirements when these are necessary for compatibility assessment. This document also specifies requirements for the integrity of the fire detection and fire alarm system when connected to other systems. This document does not specify the manner in which the system is designed, installed and used in any particular application. This document recognizes that it is not practical to assess the compatibility or connectability of components in all possible configurations. Methods of assessment are specified to reach an acceptable degree of confidence within pre-determined operational and environmental conditions. This document specifies requirements related to compatibility and connectability assessment methods and tests for the system components. This document is applicable to systems where the components are connected to control and indicating equipment and where the components are interconnected by electrical wires. For fire detection and fire alarm systems that use other means of interconnection (for example optical fibre or radio frequency links), this document may be used as guidance. NOTE Other European Standards are expected to cover the requirements of the other systems to which the fire detection and fire alarm system may be connected. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
