What is an EN 54 Fire detection and fire alarm system?

Introduction to EN 54 fire detection and alarm systems

EN 54 is a European standard that sets requirements for fire alarm and alarm systems in buildings. The standard covers equipment such as smoke detectors, heat detectors, control units and sirens, ensuring that these components meet stringent safety requirements to protect life and property.

EN 54 Switchboards

EN 54-2 defines the requirements for fire control panels, which are the heart of a fire alarm system. The fire control panel receives signals from the detectors and activates the alarm units to ensure that the correct response is initiated in the event of a fire. The centres must be reliable and provide clear information to users and rescue personnel.

Where are EN 54 systems used?

EN 54 fire alarm systems are primarily used in larger buildings such as offices, schools, housing associations and public buildings, where it is important to ensure rapid notification and coordinated response. EN 54 approval is a requirement in larger apartment and commercial buildings built in accordance with the EN 54 approval. TEK10 or newer technical standard.

Integration with Abra

To ensure complete peace of mind, Abra offers integration with existing EN 54 fire alarm systems. This means that in the event of a fire alarm, not only will the alarm be triggered locally in the building, but fire alarms will also be sent as SMS and push notifications to both residents and the associated alarm center. This provides a quick, coordinated response and ensures that anyone who needs to know about the situation is informed immediately.
