Understanding EN54-20: Application Planner

Aspirating Smoke Detection

Applications EN54-20 Class

FAAST Model

Areas where early warning fire detection is required to protect high value assets e.g.

Datacentre & IT facilities, Archiving facilities, Telecomms, Cleanrooms*, Laboratories

* Alignment with BS6266-2011

Class

A

Areas where highly reliable, early warning fire detection is required in areas with high ceilings e.g.

Warehouses & Distribution, Hotels, Airports, Theatres / Cinemas, Stadiums, Shopping Centres, Operating theatres, Indoor sports facilities

Class

BSubject to BS5839

height

recommendations

Challenging environments where enhanced filtration is required e.g.

Heavy industrial, Petrochemical, Food manufacturing, Waste recycling, Rail & transportation, Biomass, Cold Storage & Freezers Class

C

All other applications where ASD provides a more practical solution over traditional methods of fire detection e.g.

High-end residential, Historic buildings, High-end architecture, Galleries, Museums, Libraries, Ceiling Ducts, Voids Class

C

The following data is aligned with BS5839 Part 1 and provides a guide to application fire safety requirements under EN54-20. Typical applications within each EN54-20 Class (A-C) are detailed, along with the key specifiable elements of the relevant FAAST ASD units.
