The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Eac
10、h member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the Internation
11、al Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standard
12、s adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. In other circumstances, particularly when there is an urgent market requirement for such documents, a
13、 technical committee may decide to publish other types of normative document: an ISO Publicly Available Specification (ISO/PAS) represents an agreement between technical experts in an ISO working group and is accepted for publication if it is approved by more than 50 % of the members of the parent c
14、ommittee casting a vote; an ISO Technical Specification (ISO/TS) represents an agreement between the members of a technical committee and is accepted for publication if it is approved by 2/3 of the members of the committee casting a vote. An ISO/PAS or ISO/TS is reviewed after three years in order t
15、o decide whether it will be confirmed for a further three years, revised to become an International Standard, or withdrawn. If the ISO/PAS or ISO/TS is confirmed, it is reviewed again after a further three years, at which time it must either be transformed into an International Standard or be withdr

24、2012(E) Introduction This part of ISO 7240 is based on ISO/TR 7240-9:2006. It provides a summary of the standard test fires defined in other parts of ISO 7240 and where they are used. It has been published to provide a convenient catalogue of fire tests but the formal definition and description of e
25、ach fire remains within the individual parts of ISO 7240. The combustibles selected represent a spectrum of large (m) and small ( y) combustion particles for both grey and black smoke. These include burning liquids, plastics and cellulosic (wood) materials, and glowing and smouldering fabrics. Figur
26、e 1 shows the limits of m vs y where they are defined for the relevant test fires. It illustrates how the test fires are designed to represent a reasonable crosssection of fire types and thus ensure that the response characteristics of the detectors being assessed are broadly capable of detecting th
27、e majority of common fires that may occur in practise. Key Y absorption index, m, dB/m X MIC, y (dimensionless) Figure 1 Composite of ISO test fires TF1 to TF5, TF7 and TF8 profile curves: m versus y The test fires in this part of ISO 7240 are intended to be applicable for the evaluation of all auto
28、matic fire detectors (smoke, heat, flame, etc.). They are employed on a selective basis for use in concert with a specified International Standard covering the particular type of detector. For example, test fire TF6, methylated spirits, is used to evaluate the response of heat detectors. Test fires
29、TF1 through TF5 are selected to evaluate the response of system-connected smoke detectors. Test fire TF7 is selected in lieu of test fire TF2 to evaluate the response of smoke alarms intended primarily for installation in residential type occupancies. In view of the residential type application, smo
30、ke alarms are evaluated for compliance with test fire TF7 using a 3 m high rather than a 4 m high ceiling. Test fires TF2, TF3 and TF9 are suitable for testing the response of a detector to carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide output curves are also shown for TF4, TF5 and TF8.vi ISO 2012 All rights rese

ISO 7240-1, Fire detection and alarm systems Part 1: General and definitions 3 Terms, definitions and symbols For the purposes of this document, the terms, definitions and symbols given in ISO 7240-1 and the following apply. 3.1 sensitivity relative degree of response of a smoke detector Note 1 to
34、 entry: A high sensitivity denotes response to a lower concentration of smoke particles than a low sensitivity under identical smoke build-up conditions. 4 Characteristics of test fires Description Fifteen test fires are described in Clause 7 and designated TF1 through TF9. Their characteristic feat
35、ures are shown in Table 1. The test fires shall be carried out in accordance with the descriptions of Clause 7. It is permissible to vary slightly the quantities of fuel used, if necessary, to produce the required values of fire parameters. ISO 2012 All rights reserved 1 ISO/TS 7240-9:2012(E) Table

42、,2 m ceiling height. This can be achieved by placing the hotplate on a 1 m high platform.2 ISO 2012 All rights reserved ISO/TS 7240-9:2012(E) The ceiling and walls shall be flat with no obstructions between the fire source and the detectors and instrumentation. The fire source shall be centred as mu
43、ch as possible with respect to the four walls to minimize reflection of smoke and/or heat. Fire curtains may be employed to reduce the room size within specified limits, if needed. 5.2 Ambient test conditions The following ambient conditions shall be established prior to conducting each test fire: a
44、) temperature: (15 to 35) C. Recommend maximum 2 C difference between ceiling and floor temperatures for smouldering tests TF2, TF3, TF3a, TF3b and TF7; b) relative humidity: (25 to 75) %; c) air pressure: (86 to 106) kPa; d) air movement: negligible; e) MIC reading: less than y = 0,05; f) optical b
45、eam reading: less than m = 0,05 dB/m; g) CO concentration: less than S = 5 l/l NOTE For improved consistency of test fires, the temperature can be controlled to (31 to 25) C and the relative humidity can be controlled to (45 to 55) %. 5.3 Instruments The measuring instruments or their specification
46、employed during the test fires are described under the following annexes: optical measuring equipment (see Annex C); measuring ionization chamber (see Annex D); spark generator (see Annex E). 6 Test method 6.1 Arrangement The location and arrangement of the detectors under test, smoke density, tempe
47、rature and carbon monoxide level measuring instrumentation, and test fire location are illustrated in Figure 2. For those tests that require ignition inside the test room, the personnel entrusted with the performance of the test shall leave the test room immediately after igniting the fuel, taking c
