It should be noted that, in Germany, CE conformity marking of construction products will be permitted once this standard has been listed in the Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Law Gazette) and
5、from the date given therein. National foreword This standard has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 72 “Fire detection and fire alarm systems” (Secretariat: BSI, United Kingdom). The responsible German body involved in its preparation was the Normenausschuss Feuerwehrwesen (Firefighting and
6、 Fire Protection Standards Committee), Working Committee NA 031-02-01 AA Brandmelde- und Feueralarmanlagen. This standard specifies requirements for visual alarm devices for use in fire detection and alarm systems permanently installed in buildings or intended for outdoor applications (referred to i
7、n German as “BMS” and “BMA” equipment, respectively). The system requirements and technical application rules for fire detection and fire alarm systems complying with this standard are specified in national Standards DIN 14675 and DIN VDE 0833-2 (VDE 0833-2). Certification of conformity of such prod
8、ucts with the requirements specified in this standard is based on conformity evaluation of the products carried out by “Notified Bodies” in accordance with the EU Construction Products Directive (see clause 6 and Annex ZA of this standard) and the relevant provisions of the Bauproduktengesetz (BauPG

DIN EN 54-23:2010-06 EN 54-23:2010 (E) 7 Introduction The purpose of a visual fire alarm device (VA
42、D) is to warn person(s) within, or in the vicinity of, a building of the occurrence of a fire emergency in order to enable such person(s) to take appropriate measures. This European Standard allows manufacturers to specify VADs in terms of the range at which the required illumination is met. Three c
43、ategories of device are defined, one for ceiling mounted devices, one for wall mounted devices and an open category. The maximum range of the VAD is tested by measuring the light output in a hemisphere surrounding it to determine its light distribution. As the light output of some VADs can change ov
44、er time due, for example, to the effect of self-heating, a test has been introduced to check that the variation of light output over time is within an acceptable limit. This European Standard gives common requirements for the construction and robustness of VADs as well as for their performance under
45、 climatic, mechanical and electrical interference conditions which are likely to occur in the service environment. VADs are classified in one of two application environment types, i.e. Type A and Type B. More severe climatic conditions are applied to devices that are primarily intended for outdoor a
46、pplications (Type B) than those primarily intended for indoor applications (Type A). DIN EN 54-23:2010-06 EN 54-23:2010 (E) 8 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the requirements, test methods and performance criteria for visual alarm devices in a fixed installation intended to signal a visual
47、warning of a fire between the fire detection and fire alarm system and the occupants of a building (see item C of Figure 1 of EN 54-1:1996). It is intended to cover only those devices which derive their operating power by means of a physical electrical connection to an external source such as a fire
48、 alarm system. This European Standard specifies the evaluation of conformity and the marking of the visual alarm devices. This European Standard applies to visual alarm devices that rely on software for their operation and to those that do not. This European Standard applies only to pulsing or flashing visual alarm devices, for example xenon beacons or rotating beacons. Devices giving continuous light output are excluded from this European Standard. This European Standard is not intended to cover visual indicators, for example those on detectors or on th
