ISO, 2012. — 62 p. Second edition 2012-12-15.
ISO 7240 (all parts) specifies components of fire detection and alarm systems, requirements for their interconnection and installation and the performance, testing, and servicing of parts or of complete systems. It provides
- local and/or remote signals to organizations having authority to respond to fire alarms, and
- signals to initiate the operation of fire protection equipment and other systems.
This part of ISO 7240 is based on ISO/TR 7240-9:2006. It provides a summary of the standard test fires defined in other parts of ISO 7240 and where they are used. It has been published to provide a convenient catalogue of fire tests but the formal definition and description of each fire remains within the individual parts of ISO 7240.
This Technical Specification describes methods of test using test fires to which fire detectors, such as smoke, heat, flame are subjected as specified in other parts of ISO 7240 for such detectors.
