System Sensor Smoke Detector Listed to the EN 54-20 Standard
System Sensor has announced that its FAAST Fire Alarm Aspiration Sensing Technology is now listed to the European EN 54-20 standard for aspirating smoke detectors. This listing confirms that the FAAST detector has been independently tested by VdS in Germany to meet the standard. Compliance with the EN 54-20 standard is required for aspirating products to include the CE marking.
An important feature of this standard is its sensitivity classification system for aspirating smoke detectors. The standard divides sensitivities into one of three classifications for specific applications: Class A: Very high sensitivity for very early warning fire detection; Class B: High sensitivity for early warning of fires; and Class C: Normal sensitivity for general fire protection.
