10、f Technical Committee FSH/12. It is an addition to the BS 5446 series and specifies requirements and test methods for heat alarms intended for use in dwellings. (See BS 5839-6.) The tests are type tests and are not intended as manufacturers tests to maintain uniformity of quality in production, whic

11、h is dealt with in the BS EN ISO 9000 series. While the tests are intended to assess the most important features of the design and construction of heat alarms they cannot remove the necessity for regular inspection and maintenance, which is essential for reliable operation. Product certification. Us

12、ers of this British Standard are advised to consider the desirability of third-party certification of product conformity with this British Standard. Appropriate conformity attestation arrangements are described in the appropriate part of the BS EN ISO 9000 series. Users seeking assistance in identif

13、ying appropriate conformity assessment bodies or schemes may ask BSI to forward their enquiries to the relevant association. This publication does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users are responsible for its correct application. Compliance with a British Standard

14、does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. Summary of pages This document comprises a front cover, an inside front cover, pages i and ii, pages 1 to 29 and a back cover.

21、S 5446 the terms and definitions given in BS 4422, BS 5839-6, BS EN 54-5 and the following apply. 3.1 alarm condition condition in which a heat alarm is giving a signal as specified by the manufacturer 3.2 application temperatures 3.2.1 maximum application temperature maximum temperature that an ins

22、talled heat alarm can be expected to experience, even for short periods of time, in the absence of a fire condition NOTE This temperature is deemed to be 4 C below the minimum static response temperature for the appropriate class marked on the heat alarm, as specified in Table 1. 3.2.2 typical appli

23、cation temperature temperature that an installed heat alarm can be expected to experience for long periods of time in the absence of a fire condition NOTE This temperature is deemed to be 29 C below the minimum static response temperature for the appropriate class marked on the heat alarm, as specif

24、ied in Table 1. 3.3 fault warning signal intended to indicate an actual or incipient fault that might prevent the emitting of a heat alarm signalBS 5446-2:2003 2 BSI 21 March 2003 3.4 heat alarm device containing within one housing all the components, except possibly the energy source, necessary for

25、 detecting heat and for giving an audible alarm 3.5 normal condition condition in which a heat alarm is energized but is not giving either an alarm signal or a fault warning, although able to give such signals if the occasion arises 3.6 static response temperature temperature at which a heat alarm w

26、ould produce an alarm signal if subjected to a vanishingly small rate of rise of temperature 4 Constructional requirements 4.1 Visual indication of operation Mains-powered apparatus shall include a power supply indicator. This shall be coloured green and shall be continuously illuminated when mains

27、power is present. If an alarm indicator is fitted, it shall be red and shall be separate from the mains power supply indicator. The alarm indicator shall be illuminated when an alarm condition is present. NOTE 1 The fitting of alarm indicators is optional. NOTE 2 It is usual for an alarm indicator t

28、o be continuously illuminated, or flashing at least once per second, when an alarm condition is present. When the failure of an alarm indicator or a power supply indicator is simulated by open circuit or short-circuit, there shall be no failure of the fire alarm signal. NOTE 3 This is to ensure that

29、 the failure of an indicator lamp does not prevent the emitting of a fire alarm signal. 4.2 Terminals for external conductors The alarm or base, as appropriate, if intended to have external connections, shall be provided with terminals for the connection of conductors by means of screws, nuts or equ

30、ally effective devices. Terminals shall allow the connection of conductors having nominal cross-sectional areas of between 0.4 mm 2and 1.5 mm 2 . Terminals shall be designed such that: a) it is not possible to disconnect the conductors, or access the conductors for disconnection, without the use of

31、a tool; b) they clamp the conductor between metal surfaces without rotation of those surfaces but with sufficient contact pressure and without damage to the conductor. 4.3 Alignment of alarms Where separate bases are used, a means to prevent incorrect alignment of the heat alarm in the base shall be

32、 provided. 4.4 Failure of components If a component is fitted that has a mean time before failure of less than 5 years, the heat alarm shall be designed in such a way that a fault warning is given on the failure of that component. Any such warning shall be readily distinguishable from the alarm sign

33、al. NOTE It is usual to fit components that have a mean time before failure of more than 5 years.BS 5446-2:2003 BSI 21 March 2003 3 4.5 Battery removal indication The heat alarm shall be designed in such a way that removal of any user-replaceable battery used to power, or provide back-up power for,

34、the heat detection circuit/sounder, from a battery or mains-powered d.c.-backed heat alarm, results in a visual, mechanical or audible warning that the battery has been removed. The visual warning shall not depend upon a power source. NOTE Conformity may be achieved by, but is not restricted to, one

35、 of the following examples: a) a warning flag that will be exposed with the battery removed and the cover closed; b) a hinged cover or battery compartment that cannot be closed when the battery is removed; c) a unit that cannot be replaced upon its mounting with the battery removed. 4.6 Position of

36、heat-sensitive elements The heat alarm shall be constructed such that at least part of its heat-sensitive element(s), except elements with auxiliary functions (e.g. characteristic correctors), is 15 mm from the mounting surface of the heat alarm. 4.7 Routine testing facility Provision shall be made

37、in the construction of the heat alarm, and in the manufacturers instructions (see Clause 7), for testing by the domestic user. Such testing shall include the whole of the operating system of the heat alarm, including the integrity of the heat-sensing thermistor. NOTE This testing is normally carried

38、 out by the use of a test switch mounted in the heat alarm cover. Failure of the thermistor (e.g. due to physical damage or corrosion of the leads) is critical to the heat alarms operation. 4.8 Battery connections For heat alarms intended for use in LAVs, any leads connecting the terminal connectors

39、 of batteries in heat alarms to the heat alarm circuit board shall be provided with strain-relieving devices adjacent to both battery terminal connectors and the heat alarm circuit board so that when the leads are subjected to a pull of 20 N without jerks for 1 min in any direction allowed by the de

40、sign, the pull is not transmitted to the joints between the leads and the battery terminal connectors or between the leads and the heat alarm circuit board. 4.9 Monitoring of back-up power source NOTE See also 5.24.2. A means shall be provided for monitoring the back-up power source for fault condit

41、ions, including low back-up, open circuit and short-circuit failure. 5 Operational requirements 5.1 General When tested in accordance with the appropriate method specified in Annex A, using the test schedule specified in Annex B, heat alarms shall conform to the requirements specified in 5.3 to 5.20

42、. Heat alarms shall also conform to the requirements specified in 5.21, 5.22, 5.23 and 5.24, as appropriate. Where response times are to be measured, the specimen shall be mounted in a heat tunnel as specified in Annex C. NOTE Further information regarding the construction of the heat tunnel is give

43、n in Annex D. The general procedures specified in A.1 shall be carried out for all tests.BS 5446-2:2003 4 BSI 21 March 2003 5.2 Classification Heat alarms shall conform to class A1, A2 or B, as specified in Table 1. Table 1 Heat alarm classification temperatures 5.3 Directional dependence When teste

44、d in accordance with A.2, class A1 heat alarms shall respond between 1 min 0 s and 4 min 20 s at all eight orientations, and class A2 and B heat alarms shall respond between 2 min 0 s and 5 min 30 s at all eight orientations. 5.4 Static response temperature When tested in accordance with A.3, the re

45、sponse temperatures shall lie between the minimum and maximum static response temperatures specified in Table 1 for the appropriate alarm class. 5.5 Response times from typical application temperature When tested in accordance with A.4, the response times shall lie between the lower and upper respon

46、se time limits specified in Table 2 for the appropriate alarm class. Table 2 Response time limits from typical application temperature 5.6 Response times from 25 C NOTE This requirement is applicable only to class B heat alarms. When tested in accordance with A.5, the response time at 3 C/min shall

47、exceed 7 min 13 s, and the response time at 20 C/min shall exceed 1 min 0 s. 5.7 Response times from high ambient temperature (dry heat operational) When tested in accordance with A.6, no alarm or fault signal shall be given during the period when the temperature is increasing to the stabilization t

48、emperature or during the stabilization period, and the response times shall lie between the lower and upper response time limits specified in Table 3 for the appropriate alarm class.
