2、15.Voice alarm systems are installed in many large buildings in Europe where large numbers of people who may not be trained to evacuate (normally members of the public) are present. These buildings include sports arenas, stadiums, galleries, theatres, cinemas and other places of entertainment. They
3、also include transport hubs such as railway stations, airports and ports.Most European countries do not have specific guidance on the planning, design, installation, commissioning, use and maintenance of voice alarm systems. CEN/TS 54-32 has been written to provide guidance for these countries whils
4、t avoiding conflict with existing national installation guidance documents such as BS 5839-8:2013 and BS 7827:2011 in the UK.CEN/TS 54-32 will be useful in the UK to give guidance when variations from the recommendations of BS 5839-8:2013 (see Clause 7) and the recommendations of BS 7827:2011 (see C
5、lause 18) are needed because it contains up-to-date information, especially on measuring intelligibility, on the use of auxiliary mains power supplies such as UPS and generators, and on transmission paths and networking.The UK participation in its preparation was entrusted by Technical Committee FSH
6、/12, Fire detection and alarm systems, to Subcommittee FSH/12/5, Alarm devices, voice alarm evacuation sub-systems and emergency voice communications.A list of organizations represented on this subcommittee can be obtained on request to its secretary.This publication does not purport to include all

35、and fire alarm systems”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN and/or CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. According to the CEN
36、-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to announce this Technical Specification: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, H

PD CEN/TS 54-32:2015CEN/TS 54-32:2015 (E) 6 Introduction Guidelines covering sound systems for use dur
38、ing an emergency are published by different organizations within Europe. The intention of this Technical Specification is to draw together these documents and provide up-to-date guidelines for planning, design, installation, commissioning, use, maintenance and modification of emergency sound systems
39、 throughout Europe. Sound systems for use in emergency, whether automatically triggered, manually triggered, or both, are commonly called voice alarm systems. It is not intended that this Technical Specification should override existing local, regional or national regulations. It is expected for a c
40、onsiderable (and as yet unspecified) period that these guidelines will coexist with other codes. However, it is hoped that the availability of a common set of guidelines will assist in the harmonization of practice and standards for voice alarm systems throughout Europe. This document gives recommen
41、dations. These recommendations can be made mandatory by being specified within other document(s). For example, an authority having jurisdiction empowered under local, regional or national legislation can require compliance with this document. Equally a contract between a purchaser and a supplier can
42、 specify compliance that may then become mandatory under contract law. The purpose of a voice alarm system is to provide intelligible warning to person(s) within, or in the vicinity of, a building in which an emergency has occurred and to enable such person(s) to take appropriate measures according
43、to an emergency management plan. Voice alarm systems are often used instead of alarm sounders (see EN 54-3) because the meaning of an alarm signal may not be clear to untrained building occupants and so time may be spent deciding what it means and then further time may be spent deciding what to do.
44、This document contains specific recommendations for the design, installation, commissioning, use, and maintenance of voice alarm systems and is based on the format used in CEN/TS 54-14. The main principles on which the guidelines are based are given in the body of this Technical Specification. Detai
45、led recommendations by which these principles may be satisfied are given in annexes.
