scope:

This European Standard specifies requirements, test methods and performance criteria for point-type, flame detectors that operate using radiation from a hydrocarbon flame for use in fire detection systems installed in and around buildings.

Flame detectors having special characteristics suitable for the detection of specific fire risks are not covered by this standard (although the standard may be used as guidance in assessing such products). The performance requirements for any additional functions are beyond the scope of this standard (e.g. additional features or enhanced functionality for which this standard does not define a test or assessment method).
