1. Scope
The European Standard prEN 54-15 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 54-1:1996),
incorporating in one mechanical enclosure sensors which detect more than one physical or chemical
phenomenon of a real fire. The overall fire performance is determined utilising a combination of the detected
phenomena. The allowed phenomena are: aerosol (i.e. smoke), heat, combustion gases and electromagnetic
radiation.
Multi-sensor fire detectors with special characteristics and developed for specific risks are not covered by this
standard.
NOTE 1 Tests are included to confirm that detectors do not rely solely on a direct line of sight between the fire and the
detector.
NOTE 2 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 standard.
