Fire detection and fire alarm systems
Fire detection and fire alarm systems
To prepare standards, harmonised where necessary to meet the essential requirement 'Safety in case of fire' of the Construction Products Directive, in the field of fire detection and fire alarm systems in and around buildings, covering test methods, requirements and recommendations for: - components; - the combination of components into systems; - the planning, design and installation of systems for use in and around buildings; - usage, maintenance and servicing; - the connections to and control of other fire protection systems; - the combination with other systems to form integrated systems; - the combination with fixed firefighting systems; - the contribution of fire detection and fire alarm systems to fire safety engineering.
P member
Fire safety in buildings
Fire safety in buildings
1) To develop standards utilizing relevant existing work where available e.g. in ISO, IEC, CENELEC, CEC and EFTA assessing the fire behaviour of building products, components and elements of construction, 2) To develop standards for classification of products, components and elements of construction, appropriate to the fire risks related to their application, 3) To develop standards for assessing fire hazard and for providing fire safety in buildings.
P member
Fixed firefighting systems
Fixed firefighting systems
Standardization in the field of: - components for fixed firefighting systems;- the design, construction and maintenance of fixed firefighting systems primarily for installation in buildings and other construction works with recommendations for other possible applications and; - components for fixed smoke and heat ventilation systems; - the design, construction and maintenance of fixed smoke and heat ventilation systems for installation in buildings; - fire extinguishing media for use in fixed systems and other firefighting equipment.
P member
Fire and Rescue Service Equipment
Fire and Rescue Service Equipment
Standardization of equipment and vehicles for rescue and firefighting, excluding personal protective equipment and that covered by CEN/TC 191.
P member
Potentially explosive atmospheres - Explosion prevention and protection
Potentially explosive atmospheres - Explosion prevention and protection
To develop standards where necessary in the fields of: − test methods for determining the flammability characteristics (ignition, propagation, explosion effects, etc.) of substances; − equipment and protective systems for use in potentially explosive atmospheres and equipment and systems for explosion prevention and protection. NOTE: The requirements for electrical parts and electrical hazards are covered by references to electrical standards.

Services for fire safety and security systems
Services for fire safety and security systems
The Technical Committee should develop standards for services for fire safety and security systems. The standards specify the requirements for quality of services supplied by companies and the competencies of their involved staff charged with the planning and design, engineering, installation and hand over, maintenance and repair of fire safety and/or security systems*. * Examples of fire safety and/or security systems, are fire detection-, fire extinguishing -, voice alarm‑, intruder alarm-, hold up-, access control , social alarm-, smoke and heat exhaust ventilation-, CCTV systems, control equipment for escape and evacuation route, and combination of such systems as mentioned before.
P member
Equipment for fire protection and fire fighting
Equipment for fire protection and fire fighting
Standardization in the field of all fire protection and fire fighting apparatus and equipment including extinguishing media as well as the personal equipment of the fire fighter, and related work on terminology, classification and symbols. Approval of advisory documents relating to the general principles and application of equipment and apparatus for fire protection and fire fighting. Excluded: protective clothing dealt with by ISO / TC 94.
O member
Fire safety
Fire safety
Standardization of the methods of assessing fire hazards and fire risk to life and to property; the contribution of design, materials, building materials, products and components to fire safety and methods of mitigating the fire hazards and fire risks by determining the performance and behaviour of these materials, products and components, as well as of buildings and structures. Excluded: materials and equipments already covered by other technical committees; fields covered by other ISO and IEC committees.
