Supersedes: AS 7240.6-2006 Fire detection and alarm systems, Part 6: Carbon monoxide fire detectors using electro-chemical cells
Draft Designation: DR AS ISO 7240.6:2017The objective of this Standard is to specify requirements, test methods and performance criteria for point-type fire detectors using an electrochemical-cell carbon-monoxide sensor, for use in fire detection and alarm systems.
This Standard is identical with, and has been reproduced from, ISO 7240‑6:2011, Fire detection and alarm systems — Part 6: Carbon monoxide fire detectors using electro-chemical cells.
As this document has been reproduced from an International Standard, the following applies:
(a) In the source text ‘this International Standard’ should read ‘Australian Standard’;
(b) A full point substitutes for a coma when referring to a decimal marker.
Australian or Australian/New Zealand Standards that are identical adoptions of international normative references may be used interchangeably. Refer to the online catalogue for information on specific Standards.
The terms ‘normative’ and ‘informative’ are used in Standards to define the application of the appendices or annexes to which they apply. A ‘normative’ appendix or annex is an integral part of a Standard, whereas an ‘informative’ appendix or annex is only for information and guidance.
Adopts ISO 7240-6:2011 to specify requirements, test methods and performance criteria for point-type fire detectors using an electrochemical-cell carbon-monoxide sensor, for use in fire detection and alarm systems. Originated as AS 1603.14-2001. Revised and redesignated AS 7240.6-2006. Second edition 2017.
