The objective of this Standard is to achieve the reliable monitoring of fire detection and alarm systems (FDAS) installed in buildings by a remotely located monitoring service and to transfer required signals to a fire dispatch centre.

Specifies the design, installation and commissioning requirements for emergency warning systems and emergency intercom systems used in buildings for the evacuation of building occupants in the event of a fire or other type of emergency.

Sets out requirements for the design, installation and commissioning of fire detection and alarm systems comprising components conforming with the requirements of the appropriate product Standard.

Specifies the apparatus and test method for determining the flammability index of a material. Main changes in this edition of the Standard are the inclusion of a statistical evaluation of the test results, a change to the speed factor formula so that the flammability indices form a continuous range and a more detailed form of test report.

Sets out test procedures and criteria for the determination of fire-resistance of elements of building construction.

Sets out a test method for the determination of ignitability, heat release rates, mass loss rates, effective heat of combustion and smoke release of materials and products when exposed to controlled levels of radiant heating.

Describes a single test method for grading building materials on the basis of ignition tendency, flame spread, heat development and tendency to produce smoke.

Specifies a test method for determining the combustibility of building materials and is one of a series of test methods of evaluating the potential fire hazard of building products; the test is for building materials other than coated, faced or laminated materials which, although not completely inert, produce only a limited amount of heat and flame when exposed to temperatures of approximately 750 °C.

Sets out requirement for the design, installation and commissioning of fire detection and alarm systems comprising components conforming to the requirements of the appropriate component Standards.

Specifies the design, installation and commissioning requirements for emergency warning systems and emergency intercom systems used in buildings for the evacuation of building occupants in the event of a fire or other type of emergency.
