Description (English):

ISO 7240-25:2010 specifies requirements, test methods and performance criteria for components used in fire detection and alarm systems, installed in and around buildings, which use radio-frequency (r.f.) transmission paths. It specifies requirements for the assessment of conformance of the components to the requirements of ISO 7240-25:2010. Where components work together and this requires knowledge of the system design, ISO 7240-25:2010 also specifies requirements for the system. When the fire detection and alarm system uses wired and r.f. transmission paths, the relevant parts of ISO 7240 apply together with ISO 7240-25:2010. Requirements relevant to wire transmission paths are superseded or modified by those included in ISO 7240-25:2010. ISO 7240-25:2010 does not restrict the intended use of radio spectrum, e.g. frequency, power output of devices; the allowed maximum number of the components using r.f. transmission paths within the fire detection and alarm system or one wire transmission path and/or r.f. transmission path; or the allowed maximum number of the components affected by loss of one wire transmission path and/or r.f. transmission path.

Abstract

Overview

ISO 7240-25:2010 - Fire detection and fire alarm systems - Part 25 - specifies requirements, test methods and performance criteria for components that use radio-frequency (r.f.) transmission paths. It covers both individual components and, where necessary, system-level requirements so that wireless elements achieve integrity and stability comparable to wired fire detection and alarm systems. The standard also defines conformance assessment, marking, data and testing procedures for r.f. components installed in and around buildings.

Key topics and technical requirements

Scope of application: Components using r.f. transmission paths (transmitters, receivers, radio parts, antennas, intermediate elements, base stations) and hybrid systems combining wired and r.f. transmission.
Performance criteria and tests: Defined test methods and performance criteria for component and system behaviour, including system tests and component tests (see clause structure in the standard).
Power supply and service life: Requirements for power-supply equipment and autonomous power sources (battery-operated devices), plus guidance on service-life assessment.
Environmental and EMC requirements: Environmental testing (temperature, vibration, damp heat, shock) and electromagnetic compatibility considerations relevant to wireless fire alarm components.
Radio path behaviour: Definitions and requirements related to antenna, site attenuation, collision, adjacent channel selectivity, blocking/desensitization, and spurious response rejection.
Compatibility and system design: Rules for assessing compatibility between wireless and wired elements and requirements where component interaction requires knowledge of system design.
Marking and data: Obligations for marking, identification codes and data exchange to support installation, maintenance and conformity assessment.
Limitations clarified: The standard does not restrict spectrum usage (frequency/power), maximum permitted number of r.f. components, or allowed component counts affected by loss of a transmission path-these aspects are left to national rules or other guidance.

Practical applications and who uses it

ISO 7240-25:2010 is applicable to:

Manufacturers of wireless smoke/heat detectors, radio call points, wireless input/output devices, and base stations - for design, testing and conformity claims.
Test laboratories and certification bodies - to run the standardized component and system tests required for compliance.
System designers and integrators - when deploying hybrid wired/wireless fire detection and alarm systems and ensuring component compatibility and installation robustness.
Regulatory authorities and specifiers - to reference performance and testing requirements in procurement and codes.

Practical applications include wireless detector networks, retrofit wireless links for alarm systems, remote alarm signalling, and systems where cabling is impractical.

Keywords: ISO 7240-25:2010, fire detection, fire alarm systems, radio transmission paths, r.f., wireless detectors, conformity assessment, site attenuation, autonomous power source.
