EN 54-29:2015/prA1
(Amendment)Fire detection and fire alarm systems - Part 29: Multi-sensor fire detectors - Point detectors using a combination of smoke and heat sensors
General Information
- Abstract
This European Standard specifies requirements, test methods and performance criteria for point-type multi-sensor fire detectors for use in fire detection systems installed in buildings (see EN 54 1:2011), incorporating in one mechanical enclosure at least one optical or ionization smoke sensor and at least one heat sensor. The overall fire detection performance is determined utilizing the combination of the detected phenomena.
This European Standard provides for the assessment and verification of constancy of performance (AVCP) of point detectors using a combination of smoke and heat sensors to this EN.
Point detectors using a combination of smoke and heat sensors having special characteristics suitable for the detection of specific fire risks are not covered by this European Standard. The performance requirements for any additional functions are beyond the scope of this European Standard (e.g. additional features or enhanced functionality for which this European Standard does not define a test or assessment method).
NOTE Certain types of detector contain radioactive materials. The national requirements for radiation protection differ from country to country and they are not specified in this European Standard.

Overview
EN 54-29:2015/prA1 is a CEN European standard for multi-sensor point fire detectors that combine smoke and heat sensing in a single enclosure. It defines requirements, test methods and performance criteria for point-type detectors used in building fire detection systems (referencing EN 54-1). The document also covers the assessment and verification of constancy of performance (AVCP) for these detectors. The amendment prA1 introduces clarifications and marking requirements, including formal definitions for optical and ionisation smoke sensors.
Key topics and requirements
- Scope and exclusions
- Applies to point multi-sensor detectors incorporating at least one smoke sensor (optical or ionisation) and at least one heat sensor.
- Excludes detectors with special characteristics for specific fire risks and any additional functions for which tests are not defined in this standard.
- Performance and test methods
- Specifies performance criteria and standardized test methods to assess combined smoke-and-heat detection performance.
- AVCP provisions for consistent manufacturing quality and conformity assessment.
- Definitions added by amendment (prA1)
- Type A - optical: smoke sensor sensitive to combustion products affecting absorption or scattering of radiation (IR, visible, UV).
- Type B - ionisation: smoke sensor sensitive to combustion products affecting ionisation currents.
- Marking and identification
- Amendment requires marking of functional principle (Type A and/or Type B).
- For Type B detectors containing radioactive components, prA1 mandates use of the trefoil symbol and specific head/base marking rules for detachable detectors.
- Relationship with other standards
- Intended for use within EN 54 fire detection family; ties to EN 54-1 for system-level requirements.
Applications and users
- Manufacturers - design, test and certify multi-sensor point detectors to meet EN 54-29 performance and AVCP requirements.
- Notified bodies & test laboratories - perform standardized type testing and factory production control assessments.
- System designers and specifiers - select compliant detectors for commercial, residential and industrial building fire alarm systems.
- Installers and maintenance teams - follow marking information (type, model, trefoil where applicable) for correct installation and regulatory compliance.
- Authorities having jurisdiction & building owners - rely on EN 54-29 conformity for procurement and safety verification.
