Fire detection and alarm systems. Fire protection control equipment | Status: Current, Proposed for withdrawal

1 Scope This part of ISO 7240 specifies requirements, methods of test, and performance criteria for fire protection control equipment (FPCE) (ISO 7240‑1:2014, Figure 1, item G) connected to automatic fire protection equipment (AFPE) (ISO 7240‑1:2014, Figure 1, item H) installed in buildings. The FPCE receives signals from fire detection control and indicating equipment (ISO 7240‑1:2014, Figure 1, item B), sends control signals to, and indicates the condition of, the AFPE (see Figure 1). The control signals are used to initiate automatic fire protection equipment, such as pumps associated with fire suppression systems, control doors, dampers, fans, and the like.
