Comelit’s dedicated fire division has achieved the stringent EN54 – 13 standards for its Analogue Addressable Fire Detection System.
The Italian security specialist presents a range of specialist fire solutions, including conventional systems that are particularly suited to fire detection in smaller facilities and buildings with simple layouts.
Comelit’s Atena addressable panels can identify the precise location of a fire and are suitable for applications of all types, explains the company.
Mandy Bowden, Comelit’s Fire Business Development Manager, says: “Those operating in the fire sector will not only be familiar with the requirement for fire protection products, but also the need to provide evidence that a complete system will function as intended under all expected operating conditions.
“EN54-13 is a rigorous system test procedure that goes beyond any individual standard. Complying demonstrates how our products really go over and above the requirements needed to satisfy the CPD/CPR, operating as a full fire detection and alarm system and not just as a sum of components. It’s a great accomplishment for Comelit, proving our complete system performance capability at all times, in every environment.”
EN54-13 (referencing the compatibility and connectability assessment of system components) was first published in 2005. In most European countries it’s an essential requirement for fire detection and alarm systems. It’s also a British Standard and referenced in BS 5839 Part 1.
Francesca Boeris, Comelit UK Managing Director added: “This is a great achievement for the fire team and one Comelit is particularly proud, to demonstrate our commitment to innovation and compliance.”
“It provides our customers and the supply chain as a whole with peace of mind that, in using Comelit’s fire products portfolio, lives are always protected in the event of a fire, even in the most demanding situations, when you need the system most.”
