scope:

This part of ISO 7240 specifies the requirements, test methods and performance criteria for aspirating smoke detectors for use in fire detection and alarm systems installed in buildings.

Aspirating smoke detectors developed for the protection of specific risks that incorporate special characteristics (including additional features or enhanced functionality for which this part of ISO 7240 does not define a test or assessment method) are also covered by this part of ISO 7240. The performance requirements for any special characteristics are beyond the scope of this part of ISO 7240.
