We present to your attention answers to questions on GOST R 53325-2009 and the Code of Practice (SP 5.13130.2009), given by specialists from the Federal State Institution VNIIPO EMERCOM of Russia Vladimir Leonidovich Zdor, Deputy Head of the Research Center for Fire and Rescue Equipment, and Andrey Arkadyevich Kosachev, Deputy Head of the Research Center for Fire Prevention and Warning emergency situations with fires.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
GOST R 53325-2009
clause 4.2.5.5. “...If it is possible to externally switch the technical characteristics of fire detectors, the following requirements must be met: — each value of an established technical characteristic must correspond to a specific marking on the fire detector, or this value must be available for control from the control panel;
— after installing the fire detector, there should be no direct access to the means of adjustment.”
Question: If non-addressed smoke detector has 3 sensitivity levels, programmable from an external remote control, in what form should this be reflected on the detector labeling?
Answer: The marking of the detector, if it is possible to adjust its sensitivity, is applied at the location of the adjustment element. If the detector is adjusted from an external console, then information about the set value must be retrieved either from the control panel or from service equipment (the same external console).
clause 4.9.1.5. “...IPDL components (receiver and transmitter of two-component IPDL and transceiver of single-component IPDL) must have adjustment devices that allow changing the angle of inclination of the optical beam axis and the directivity aperture of IPDL in the vertical and horizontal planes.”
Question: Most likely, you meant “IPDL radiation pattern”?
Answer: There is definitely a typo in the text. Should read "beam pattern".
clause 4.9.3. “Methods for certification testing of optical-electronic linear fire smoke detectors.” 4.9.3.1.
“...The IPDL response threshold is determined and the optical beam of the IPDL is interrupted in the following way. Using a set of optical attenuators installed as close as possible to the receiver to minimize the effects of scattering in the attenuators, the threshold of the detector is determined by successively increasing the attenuation of the optical beam. If, after installing the attenuator, the IPDL generates a “Fire” signal within a time of no more than 10 s, then the value of the detector response threshold is recorded. The response threshold value of each detector is determined once.
IPDL is transferred to standby mode. An opaque partition blocks the optical beam for a period of time (1.0 ± 0.1 s). Monitor the maintenance of the standby IPDL. Then the optical beam is blocked with an opaque partition for a period of 2.0 to 2.5 s. Monitor the issuance of the “Fault” signal by the IPDL.
The IPDL is considered to have passed the test if the measured response thresholds meet the requirements specified in 4.9.1.1, the ratio of the maximum and minimum response threshold does not exceed 1.6, the IPDL maintains standby mode when the optical beam is blocked for a time of (1.0 ± 0.1) s and issued a “Fault” notification when the optical beam was blocked for a time of (2.0 ± 0.1) s.”
Question: Why does clause 4.9.1.10 of this document indicate the requirement “more than 2 s”, but here the range is (2.0 ± 0.1) s?
Answer: An error was made during the layout of the document. The time value specified in paragraph 3 of the paragraph ((2.0 ± 0.1) s) should be read as in paragraph 2 ((2.0 ± 2.5) s).
clause 4.10.1.2. “...According to sensitivity, aspiration detectors should be divided into three classes: — class A – high sensitivity (less than 0.035 dB/m);
- class B - increased sensitivity (in the range from 0.035 to 0.088 dB/m);
- class C - standard sensitivity (more than 0.088 dB/m").
Question: Is it correct to understand that this paragraph refers to the sensitivity of the detector processing unit itself, and not the sensitivity of the hole?
Answer: The sensitivity of an aspiration detector cannot be considered separately: the sensitivity of the hole and the sensitivity of the processing unit, since this detector is a single technical means. Please note that smoky air may enter the processing unit from more than one opening.
clause 6.2.5.2. “...Fire alarms should not have external volume controls.”
Question: What were the reasons for this requirement?
Answer: The volume level created by voice alarms is regulated by the requirements of clause 6.2.1.9. The presence of a volume control accessible to unauthorized access negates the fulfillment of the requirement of this paragraph.
clause 7.1.14. “...PPKP interacting with fire detectors via a radio communication line must ensure the reception and processing of the transmitted value of the controlled fire factor, analysis of the dynamics of change in this factor and making a decision on the occurrence of a fire or malfunction of the detector.”
Question: Does this requirement mean that all RF fire detectors must be analogue?
Answer: The requirement applies to the control panel, and not to the detectors.
SP 5.13130.20099
clause 13.2. “Requirements for the organization of control zones fire alarm».
clause 13.2.1.“...With one fire alarm loop with fire detectors (one pipe for air sampling in the case of using an aspiration detector), which do not have an address, it is allowed to equip a control zone, including:
- - premises located on no more than two interconnected floors, with a total area of 300 m2 or less;
- up to ten isolated and adjacent rooms with a total area of no more than 1600 m2, located on one floor of the building, while the isolated rooms must have access to a common corridor, hall, vestibule, etc.;
- up to twenty isolated and adjacent rooms with a total area of no more than 1600 m2, located on one floor of the building, while the isolated rooms must have access to a common corridor, hall, vestibule, etc., with a remote light alarm indicating the activation of fire detectors above entrance to each controlled premises;
— non-addressed fire alarm loops must unite premises in accordance with their division into protection zones. In addition, fire alarm loops must connect the premises in such a way that the time for identifying the location of a fire by the personnel on duty with semi-automatic control does not exceed 1/5 of the time, after which it is possible to safely evacuate people and extinguish the fire. If the specified time exceeds the given value, the control must be automatic.
Maximum amount non-addressable fire detectors powered by an alarm loop must ensure registration of all notifications provided for in the control panel used.”
Question: Maximum number of rooms controlled by one aspirating detector pipe?
Answer: One aspiration detector can protect the same number of premises located in accordance with clause 13.2.1 as one addressless wired alarm loop with fire point detectors, taking into account the area protected by one aspiration detector.
clause 13.9.4. “...When installing pipes of aspirating smoke fire detectors in rooms less than 3 m wide, or under a raised floor, or above a false ceiling and in other spaces with a height of less than 1.7 m, the distances between the air intake pipes and the wall indicated in Table 13.6 may be increased by 1. 5 times."
Question: Does this clause also allow for an increase in the distance of 1.5 times between the air intake openings in the pipes?
Answer: The location of the air intake openings, as well as their size, in aspiration detector determined by technical specifications these detectors, taking into account the aerodynamics of the air flow in the pipes and near the air intake openings. As a rule, information about this is calculated using a mathematical apparatus developed by the manufacturer of the aspiration detector.
GOST R 53325-2009 and SP 5.13130.2009: contradictions
1. Sustainability technical means to electromagnetic interference.
To eliminate equipment failures, including false alarms of systems fire protection, in terms of electromagnetic compatibility, in our country there is a fairly serious normative base. On the other hand, in the Code of Rules SP 5.13130.2009, its developers remained in their old positions: clause 13.14.2. “...Fire control panels, fire control devices and other equipment operating in installations and systems fire automatics, must be resistant to electromagnetic interference with a severity level of at least two according to GOST R 53325.”
Question: Are detectors included in the above “other equipment”?
(In all European countries, the EN 50130-4-95 standard is in force. This standard establishes electromagnetic compatibility requirements for absolutely all security systems (OPS, ACS, SOT, SOUE, ISO), including fire alarms and automation).
Question: The lower limit of compliance with the requirements of this standard of technical safety equipment is our Russian 3rd degree of severity?
Answer: In the National Standard GOST R 51699-2000 “Electromagnetic compatibility of technical equipment. Resistance to electromagnetic interference of technical equipment burglar alarm. Requirements and test methods" harmonization was carried out with the above EN 50130-4-95, which once again proves the inappropriateness of use in modern conditions electromagnetic environment of technical equipment with the 2nd degree of severity as the main sources of failures in systems.
Question: In accordance with what recommendations can and should be chosen the required degree of rigidity in order to meet the requirements of clause 17.3 SP5.13130.2009 “Fire automatic equipment must have parameters and designs that ensure safe and normal functioning under the influence of the environment of their placement"?
Answer: Resistance of technical equipment (TE) to electromagnetic interference (EMI).
To increase the protection of a vehicle from EMF, it is necessary to complicate both the electrical schematic diagram, and the design of the vehicle, which leads to their rise in price. There are objects where the level of EMF is very low. The use of vehicles with high degree protection against EMF becomes economically unprofitable. When a designer selects a vehicle for a specific facility, the degree of EMC rigidity of the vehicle must be selected taking into account the magnitude of the EMF at the facility using generally accepted methods.
2. Fire tests of fire detectors.
Questions:
a) Why, when transferring the requirements of GOST R 50898 “Fire detectors. Fire tests" in Appendix N GOST R 53325 "Fire fighting equipment. Fire automatic equipment. Are common technical requirements. Test methods”, were the graphs of the dependence of optical density on the concentration of combustion products and the optical density of the medium on time (Fig. L1-L.12) for test fires removed from the procedure for conducting fire tests? Will the lack of control over the progress of test fires allow accredited testing laboratories to carry out measurements incorrectly, which could discredit the tests themselves?
b) Why did the order of placing the detectors being tested disappear from the procedure for conducting fire tests?
c) In clause 13.1.1 of the Code of Rules of the joint venture
5.13130.2009 stipulates that: “...It is recommended to select the type of point smoke fire detector in accordance with its sensitivity to various types of smoke.” At the same time, in order to conduct fire tests in Appendix N of GOST R 53325, the classification of detectors according to sensitivity to test fires is removed. Is this justified? There was a good selection method.
Answer: The introduction of simplification in the process of conducting fire tests in comparison with the provisions of GOST R 50898 was made in order to reduce their cost. As practice has shown, the test results in accordance with Appendix N of GOST R 53325 and GOST R 50898 have minor discrepancies and do not have a significant impact on the content of the test conclusions.
3. Fire detectors, installation rules.
SP 5.13130.2009 Appendix P contains a table with distances from the top point of the ceiling to the detector measuring element at various angles of inclination of the ceiling and room height. A link to Appendix P is given in clause 13.3.4: “Point fire detectors should be installed under the ceiling. If it is impossible to install detectors directly on the ceiling, they can be installed on cables, as well as on walls, columns and other load-bearing structures. building structures. When installing point detectors on walls, they should be placed at a distance of at least 0.5 m from the corner and at a distance from the ceiling in accordance with Appendix P. The distance from the top point of the ceiling to the detector at the place of its installation and depending on the height of the room and the shape of the ceiling can be determined in accordance with Appendix P or at other heights, if the detection time is sufficient to perform fire protection tasks in accordance with GOST 12.1.004, which must be confirmed by calculation ... ".
Questions:
Answer: Point fire detectors should include point heat, smoke and gas fire detectors.
b) What distances from the ceiling to the detector measuring element are recommended when installing detectors near the ridge and near the inclined ceiling in the middle part of the room? In what case is it recommended to adhere to the minimum distances, and in what cases to the maximum - according to Appendix P?
Answer: In places where the convective flow “flows”, for example under the “ridge”, the distance from the ceiling is chosen to be large according to Appendix P.
c) At angles of inclination of the ceiling up to 15 arc. degrees, and therefore for horizontal floors, minimum distances from the ceiling to the detector measuring element, recommended in Appendix P, range from 30 to 150 mm, depending on the height of the room. In this regard, is it recommended to install detectors directly on the ceiling using brackets to ensure the recommendations given in Appendix P?
d) Which document provides the methodology for calculating the implementation of fire protection tasks, in accordance with GOST 12.1.004, when installing detectors at heights other than those recommended in Appendix P?
e) How should deviations from the requirements of clause 13.5.1 SP5 in terms of the height of the IDPL installation be confirmed, and where is there a methodology for carrying out the calculations specified in the note?
Answer (d, d): The method for determining the time of occurrence of limit values of fire hazards dangerous to a person at the level of his head is given in Appendix 2 of GOST 12.1.004.
The time of fire detection by fire detectors is carried out according to the same method, taking into account the height of their location and the values of dangerous fire factors at which the detectors are triggered.
f) Upon detailed consideration of the requirements of clause 13.3.8 SP5, there are obvious contradictions in the contents of tables 13.1 and 13.2. Thus, if there are linear beams on the ceiling and the room height is up to 3 m, the distance between the detectors should not exceed 2.3 m. The presence of a cellular structure ceiling beams at the same height of the premises, it assumes large distances between detectors, although the conditions for localizing smoke between beams require in this case the same or more stringent requirements for the distances between detectors?
Answer: If the size of the floor area formed by the beams is less area protection provided by one fire detector, table 13.1 should be used.
In this case, the distance between the detectors located across the beams decreases due to poor spreading of the convective flow under the ceiling.
In the presence of a cellular structure, spreading occurs better due to the fact that small cells are filled warm air faster than large bays with linear beams. Therefore, detectors are installed less frequently.
SP 5.13130.2009. The requirements for installing point smoke and heat detectors refer to clause 13.3.7:
clause 13.4.1. “...The area controlled by one point smoke fire detector, as well as the maximum distance between the detectors, the detector and the wall, except for the cases specified in 13.3.7, must be determined according to table 13.3, but not exceeding the values specified in the technical specifications and passports for detectors of specific types.
clause 13.6.1. The area controlled by one point thermal fire detector, as well as the maximum distance between the detectors, the detector and the wall, with the exception of the cases specified in clause 13.3.7, must be determined according to table 13.5, but not exceeding the values specified in the technical specifications and passports detectors."
However, clause 13.3.7 does not cover any cases:
clause 13.3.7. The distances between detectors, as well as between the wall and detectors, given in tables 13.3 and 13.5, can be changed within the area given in tables 13.3 and 13.5.
Question: Does it follow from this that when arranging detectors, only the average area protected by a fire detector can be taken into account, without observing the maximum permissible distances between detectors and from the detector to the wall?
Answer: When placing point fire detectors, you can take into account the area protected by one detector, taking into account the nature of the spreading of the convective flow under the ceiling.
clause 13.3.10“...When installing point smoke fire detectors in rooms less than 3 m wide or under a false floor or above a false ceiling and in other spaces less than 1.7 m high, the distances between detectors specified in Table 13.3 may be increased by 1.5 times.”
Questions:
a) Why is it said that it is only permissible to increase the distance between detectors, but does not say about the possibility of increasing the distance from the detector to the wall?
Answer: Since, due to the restriction of the spreading of the convective flow by the structures of the walls and ceilings, the flow is directed along limited space, increasing the distance between point detectors is carried out only along a narrow space.
b) How does the requirement of clause 13.3.10 relate to the content of clause 13.3.7, where in all cases it is allowed to provide only the average area protected by a fire detector, without observing the maximum permissible distances between detectors and from the detector to the wall?
Answer: For narrow spaces of no more than 3 m in size, spreading of smoke is still difficult.
Since clause 13.3.7 speaks of a possible change in distances within the protection area provided by one detector, clause 13.3.10, in addition to clause 13.3.7, speaks of the permissibility of increasing the distance by only 1.5 times for such zones .
clause 13.3.3.“...In the protected room or designated parts of the room, it is allowed to install one automatic fire detector if the following conditions are simultaneously met:
...c) identification of a faulty detector is ensured using a light indication and the possibility of replacing it by duty personnel after set time, determined in accordance with Appendix 0...".
Questions:
a) Does SP 5.13130.2009, clause 13.3.3, subclause c) allow identification of a faulty detector using a light indication on the control panel or on the PPKP/PPU display panel?
Answer: Clause 13.3.3 allows for any methods of determining the malfunction of the detector and its location in order to replace it.
b) How should the time required to detect a malfunction and replace the detector be determined? Are there any ways to calculate this time for various types objects?
Answer: Operation of objects without a system fire safety where such a system is required is not permitted.
From the moment this system fails, the following options are possible:
1) the technological process is suspended until the system is restored, taking into account clause 02 of Appendix 0;
2) the functions of the system are transferred to responsible personnel if the personnel are able to replace the functions of the system. This depends on the dynamics of the fire, the scope of functions performed, etc.
3) a reserve is introduced. The reserve (“cold” reserve) can be entered manually (replacement) by the personnel on duty or automatically, if there are no duplicate detectors (“hot” reserve), taking into account clause O1 of Appendix O.
The operating parameters of the system must be given in project documentation on the system depending on the parameters and significance of the protected object. In this case, the system recovery time given in the design documentation should not exceed the permissible time for suspending the technological process or the time for transferring functions to duty personnel.
clause 14.3.“...To generate a control command according to clause 14.1 in the protected room or protected area there must be at least:
- three fire detectors when they are included in the loops of two-threshold devices or in three independent radial loops of single-threshold devices;
- four fire detectors when they are connected to two loops of single-threshold devices, two detectors in each loop;
- two fire detectors that meet the requirements of clause 13.3.3 (a, b, c), connected according to the “AND” logical circuit, subject to timely replacement of the faulty detector;
- two fire detectors connected according to the logical “OR” circuit, if the detectors provide increased reliability of the fire signal.”
Questions:
a) How to determine the timeliness of replacing a faulty detector? What time should be considered necessary and sufficient to replace a detector? Does this mean Appendix O in this case?
Answer: The permissible time for manually introducing a reserve is determined based on the standard level of human safety in case of fire, the accepted level of material losses in case of fire, as well as the probability of fire at a given type of facility. This time interval is limited by the condition that the probability of exposure to dangerous fire factors on people during a fire does not exceed the norm. To estimate this time, the methodology of Appendix 2 of GOST 12.1.004 can be used. Estimates of material losses are based on the methodology of Appendix 4 of GOST 12.1.004.
b) What should be understood by increased reliability of a fire signal? Does this mean taking into account the recommendations set out in Appendix P? Or something different?
Answer: In the near future, requirements will be introduced for the mandatory parameters of fire automatic equipment, as well as methods for checking them during testing, one of which is the reliability of the fire signal.
Technical means using the methods given in Appendix P, when tested for the influence of factors not related to fire, have a greater reliability of the fire signal compared to conventional detectors, which are switched on according to the logical “AND” circuit to increase reliability.
4. Notification
SP 5.13130.2009 clause 13.3.3. In the protected room or designated parts of the room, it is allowed to install one automatic fire detector if the following conditions are simultaneously met:
...d) when a fire detector is triggered, a signal is not generated to control fire extinguishing installations or type 5 fire warning systems, as well as other systems, the false operation of which can lead to unacceptable material losses or a decrease in the level of human safety.
SP 5.13130.2009 clause 14.2. Generation of control signals for warning systems of type 1, 2, 3 for smoke removal, engineering equipment controlled by a fire alarm system, and other equipment, the false operation of which cannot lead to unacceptable material losses or a decrease in the level of human safety, may be carried out when one fire detector is triggered, taking into account the recommendations set out in Appendix P. The number of fire detectors in the room is determined in accordance with with section 13.
Questions:
Regarding the 4th type of alert, there is a contradiction. In accordance with clause 13.3.3 d), it is allowed to install ONE detector per room (of course, provided that the other conditions of clause 13.3.3 are met) when generating a control signal for a type 4 alert. In accordance with section 14, the generation of control signals for type 4 alerts must be carried out when at least 2 detectors are triggered, which means their number in the room must be determined in accordance with clause 14.3. Which of the conditions should be considered determining the number of detectors installed in the room and the condition for generating control signals on the 4th type SOUE?
Answer: clause 13.3.3, paragraphs. d) does not exclude the installation of one fire detector while simultaneously fulfilling conditions a), b), c) for the generation of control signals for fire warning and evacuation control systems (SOUE) of the 4th type in the event that this does not lead to a decrease in the safety level people and unacceptable material losses in case of fire. In this case, fire detectors must protect the entire area of the control zone, be monitored, and the possibility of timely replacement of faulty detectors must be ensured.
In this case, increasing the reliability of the fire detection system is ensured manually.
Insufficient reliability of the fire signal when using one conventional detector can lead to an increase in false alarms. If the level of false alarms does not lead to a decrease in the level of human safety and unacceptable material losses, this option for generating a type 4 SOUE control signal can be accepted.
In clause 14.2, it is allowed to generate a signal to launch SOUE of types 1-3 from one fire detector with increased reliability of the fire signal without switching on the reserve, i.e. with reduced reliability, also if this does not lead to a decrease in the level of safety of people and unacceptable material losses in the event of a detector failure.
The options for generating the SOUE control signal given in clause 13.3.3 and clause 14.2 imply justification for ensuring the level of safety of people and material losses in case of fire when using these options.
Options for generating control signals given in clause 14.1. and 14.3 do not imply such justifications.
In accordance with clause A3 of Appendix A, the design organization independently selects protection options depending on the technological, design, space-planning features and parameters of the protected objects.
Art. 84 clause 7....It has been determined that the fire warning system must function during the time required for evacuation.
Questions:
a) Should sounders, as elements of a warning system, also be resistant to temperatures typical for a developed fire? The same question can be asked in relation to power supplies, as well as control devices.
Answer: The requirement applies to all components of the SOUE depending on their location.
b) If the requirements of the article of the law apply only to communication lines of warning systems, which in this case must be carried out with fire-resistant cable, should switching elements, distribution boards, etc. also be fire-resistant?
Answer: The resistance of SOUE technical means to the effects of fire factors is ensured by their design, as well as their placement in structures, premises, and areas of premises.
c) If we assume that the requirements for resistance to the effects of fire do not apply to sirens located in the room in which the fire occurs, since people from this room are evacuated first, should the conditions for the stability of communication lines with sirens installed in different rooms be ensured? , when the emergency room sirens are destroyed?
Answer: The stability of electrical connecting lines must be ensured unconditionally.
d) What regulatory documents Is the methodology for assessing the fire resistance of warning system elements regulated (NPB 248, GOST 53316 or others)?
Answer: Methods for assessing stability (resistance) from the effects of fire factors are given in NPB 248, GOST R 53316, as well as in Appendix 2 of GOST 12.1.004 (for assessing the time to reach the maximum temperature at the location).
e) Which paragraph of the SP defines the requirements for the duration of uninterrupted operation of the SOUE? If in clause 4.3 SP6, then a significant amount of previously produced and certified equipment does not meet these requirements (increase in alarm time by 3 times compared to the requirements of NPB 77).
Answer: The requirement of clause 4.3 of SP 6.13130.2009 applies to power supplies. At the same time, it is possible to limit the provision of power in emergency mode to 1.3 times the task completion time.
f) Is it possible to use reception and control devices that have the function of monitoring control circuits for remote sirens as control devices for emergency control systems at facilities? This refers to PPKP that meet the requirements of clause 7.2.2.1 (a-e) of GOST R 53325-2009 for PPU (“Granit-16”, “Grand Master”, etc.).
Answer: Control and control devices that combine control functions must be classified and certified as devices that combine functions.

Questions regarding the application of SP 5.13130.2009
Question: Should the provisions of clause 13.3.3 of SP 5.13130.2009 be applied to addressable fire detectors?
Answer:
The provisions of clause 13.3.3 are as follows:
“In the protected room or designated parts of the room, it is allowed to install one automatic fire detector if the following conditions are simultaneously met:
c) detection of a faulty detector is ensured and the possibility of replacing it within a specified time, determined in accordance with Appendix O;
Addressable detectors are called addressable because of the ability to determine their location by their address, determined by the addressable control panel. One of the main provisions determining the possibility of applying clause 13.3.3 is the provision of clause. b). Addressable detectors must have automatic performance monitoring. In accordance with the provisions of clause 17.4, Note - “Technical means with automatic performance monitoring are technical means that have control of components that make up at least 80% of the failure rate of the technical means.” “Technical means whose reliability in the range of external influences cannot be determined , must have automatic performance monitoring. If it is impossible to determine a faulty fire detector in the addressable system, it does not comply with the provisions of paragraphs. b). In addition, the provision of clause 13.3.3 can only be applied if the provision of clauses is ensured. V). An assessment of the time required to replace a failed detector with a performance monitoring function for objects with an established probability of fire when installing one detector in accordance with the provisions of clause 13.3.3 of SP 5.13130.2009 is carried out based on the following assumptions in the given sequence.
Answer:
According to SP5.13130.2009, Appendix A, Table 2A, Note 3, GOST R IEC 60332-3-22 is specified, which provides a method for calculating the flammable mass of cables. You can also see the named technique in electronic magazine"I'm electric". In the magazine, the calculation method is given with detailed explanations. Amount of combustible mass, for different types cables, can be found on the website of the Kolchuginsky Cable Plant (www.elcable.ru), in the reference information section on the reference technical information page. I ask that you do not forget that behind suspended ceilings, in addition to cables, a large number of other communications, and they can also burn under certain conditions.
Question: In what cases should the ceiling space be equipped with an APS?
Answer:
The need to equip the ceiling space of the APS is determined in accordance with the provisions of clause A4 of Appendix A of SP 5.13130.2009.
Question: Which fire detection system should be preferred for the earliest detection of a fire?
Answer:
When using technical means, one should be guided by the principle of reasonable sufficiency. Technical means must fulfill the objectives of the goal at their minimum cost. Early fire detection is primarily related to the type of fire detector and its placement. When choosing a detector type, the predominant fire factor must be determined. In the absence of experience, you can use calculation methods for calculating the time of occurrence of limit values of fire hazards (blocking time). The fire factor, the time of occurrence of which is minimal, is predominant. Using the same method, the time of fire detection using various technical means is determined. When solving the first target task - ensuring the safe evacuation of people, the required maximum fire detection time is determined as the difference between the blocking time and evacuation time. The resulting time, reduced by at least 20%, is a criterion for choosing technical means of fire detection. At the same time, the time of generation of a fire signal by the receiving and control device is also taken into account, taking into account its algorithm for processing signals from fire detectors.
Question: In what cases should information about a fire be transmitted to remote control 01, incl. over the radio?
Answer:
Fire alarms are not used for themselves, but to achieve the objectives of the goal: the unconditional protection of human life and health and the protection of material assets. In the case where fire extinguishing functions are performed by fire departments, the fire signal must be transmitted unconditionally and within a time frame, taking into account the location of this unit and its equipment. The choice of transmission method, taking into account local characteristics, rests with the design organization. It should always be remembered that equipment costs are a small part of the funds compared to losses from fire.
Question: Should only highly fire resistant cables be used in fire protection systems?
Answer:
When using cables, one should be guided, as always, by the principle of reasonable sufficiency. Moreover, any decisions require justification. SP 5.13130.2009 and the new edition of SP 6.13130.2009 require the use of cables that ensure their durability while performing tasks in accordance with the purpose of the systems in which they are used. If the contractor is unable to justify the use of a cable, then cables with maximum fire resistance can be used, which is a more expensive solution. As a methodology for justifying the use of cables, the method of calculating the time of occurrence of limit values of fire factors dangerous to humans can be used. Instead of temperature limits for humans, temperature limits for cables of a certain type are established. The time of occurrence of the limit value at the height of the cable suspension is determined. The time from the moment the impact begins until the cable fails can be taken equal to zero.
Question:
What methodology can be used for calculating the operating time of an ng-LS cable for fire alarm connecting lines, which would comply with Article 103 No. 123-FZ of July 22, 2008, will the use of an ng-LS cable and time calculations be sufficient? for detection of fire factors by detectors and transmission of an alarm signal to other fire protection systems, including notification.
Answer:
To calculate the operating time of a cable, you can apply the method of calculating the critical duration of a fire based on the maximum temperature at the height of the cable placement using the methodology for determining the estimated values of fire risk in buildings, structures and structures of various classes of functional fire danger, order of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Russian Federation No. 382 of June 30, 2009. When choosing the cable type in accordance with the requirements of Art. 103 of Federal Law No. 123-FZ of June 22, 2008, it is necessary to ensure not only the preservation of the operability of wires and cables in fire conditions for the time required for the tasks of the components of these systems, taking into account the specific location, but also the wires and cables must ensure the operability equipment not only in the fire zone, but also in other areas and floors in the event of a fire or high temperatures on the cable routes.
Question:
What does clause 13.3.7 of SP 5.13130.2009 mean “The distances between detectors, as well as between the wall and detectors can be changed within the area given in tables 13.3 and 13.5”?
Answer:
The protection areas for heat, smoke and gas point detectors are established in tables 13.3 and 13.5. The convective flow that occurs when a fire occurs in the absence of environmental influences and structures has the shape of a cone. Design features rooms can influence the shape of the convective flow, as well as its spreading under the ceiling. In this case, the values of the released heat, smoke and gas are preserved for the changed shape of the spreading flow. In this regard, clause 13.3.10 of SP 5.13130.2009 directly provides instructions for increasing the distances between detectors in narrow rooms and ceiling spaces.
Question: How many heat detectors should be installed in apartment hallways?
Answer:
The amended version of Appendix A SP 5.13130.2009 does not provide for the installation of thermal fire detectors. The choice of detector type is carried out during design, taking into account the characteristics of the protected object. One of best solutions is the installation of smoke fire detectors. In this case, one should proceed from the condition of the earliest formation of a fire signal. The number of detectors is determined in accordance with the provisions of clause 13.3.3, clause 14.1, 14.2, 14.3 SP 5.13130.2009.
Question: Should the Exit sign be always on or only turned on in case of fire?
Answer:
The provision of clause 5.2 of SP 3.13130.2009 quite clearly answers the question: “Exit light alarms ... must be turned on while people are in them.”
Question: How many fire detectors should be installed in a room?
Answer:
The provisions of SP 5.13130.2009, as amended, fully answer the question posed:
“13.3.3 In the protected room or designated parts of the room, it is allowed to install one automatic fire detector if the following conditions are simultaneously met:
a) the area of the room is no more than the area protected by the fire detector specified in the technical documentation for it, and no more than the average area indicated in tables 13.3-13.6;
b) automatic control of the fire detector’s performance under conditions of exposure to factors is provided external environment, confirming the performance of its functions, and a notification of serviceability (malfunction) is generated on the control panel;
c) detection of a faulty detector is ensured and the possibility of replacing it within a specified time, determined in accordance with Appendix O;
d) when a fire detector is triggered, a signal is not generated to control fire extinguishing installations or fire warning systems of the 5th type according to SP 3.13130, as well as other systems, the false operation of which can lead to unacceptable material losses or a decrease in the level of human safety.”
“14.1 Generation of signals for automatic control of warning systems, fire extinguishing installations, smoke protection equipment, general ventilation, air conditioning, engineering equipment of the facility, as well as other actuators of systems involved in ensuring fire safety, must be carried out from two fire detectors switched on according to logic circuit “AND”, for the time in accordance with section 17, taking into account the inertia of these systems. In this case, the placement of detectors should be carried out at a distance of no more than half the standard distance, determined according to tables 13.3 - 13.6, respectively.”
“14.2 Generating control signals for warning systems of type 1, 2, 3, 4 according to SP 3.13130.2009, smoke protection equipment, general ventilation and air conditioning, engineering equipment of the facility involved in ensuring the fire safety of the facility, as well as generating commands to turn off the power supply consumers interlocked with fire automatic systems are allowed to be carried out when one fire detector is triggered, meeting the recommendations set out in Appendix P, provided that a false triggering of controlled systems cannot lead to unacceptable material losses or a decrease in the level of human safety. In this case, at least two detectors are installed in the room (part of the room), connected according to the logical “OR” circuit. In the case of using detectors that, in addition, satisfy the requirement of clause 13.3.3 b), c), one fire detector can be installed in the room (part of the room).
“14.3 To generate a control command according to 14.1 in the protected room or protected area there must be at least: three fire detectors when they are included in the loops of two-threshold devices or in three independent radial loops of single-threshold devices; four fire detectors when they are connected to two loops of single-threshold devices, two detectors in each loop; two fire detectors that meet the requirement 13.3.3 (b, c)."
When choosing equipment and algorithms for its operation, it is necessary to take measures to minimize the likelihood of false alarms of these systems. At the same time, a false alarm should not lead to a decrease in human safety and loss of material assets.
Question: What systems besides fire protection? we're talking about as "others"?
Answer:
It is known that in addition to fire protection systems, which include a fire warning and evacuation control system, a fire extinguishing system, a smoke protection system, a fire signal can be transmitted to control engineering and technological means, which can also be used to ensure fire safety. An algorithm for the control sequence of all technical means must be developed in the project.
Question: For what purposes are fire detectors switched on using the “And” and “Or” logical circuits used?
Answer:
When switching on fire detectors using the “AND” logic circuit, the goal is to increase the reliability of the fire signal. In this case, it is possible to use one detector instead of two standard ones, implementing the function of increasing reliability. Such detectors include detectors called “diagnostic”, “multi-criteria”, “parametric”. When switching on fire detectors according to the logical “Or” circuit (duplication), the goal is to increase reliability. In this case, it is possible to use detectors that have a reliability no less than two duplicated standard ones. When calculating justification, the level of danger of the object is taken into account and, if there are justifications for performing the main functions, the composition of the fire protection system is assessed and requirements for reliability parameters are determined.
Question: Please clarify clause 13.3.11 SP 5.13130.2009 regarding: is it possible to connect a remote optical alarm system (VUOS) to each fire detector installed behind suspended ceiling, even if there are two or three detectors in the loop and this loop protects one small room, about 20 m2, 4-5 meters high.
Answer:
The requirements of clause 13.3.11 SP 5.13130.2009 are aimed at ensuring the ability to quickly locate the location of a triggered detector in the event of a fire or false alarm. During design, a variant of the detection method is determined, which should be indicated in the design documentation.
If in your case determining the location of a triggered detector is not difficult, then a remote optical indication may not be installed.
Question:
Please provide clarification regarding remote start smoke removal systems, art. 85 No. 123-FZ " Technical regulations on fire safety requirements." Is it necessary to install additional starting elements (buttons) next to the fire alarm IPRs for remote manual starting of the supply and exhaust smoke ventilation systems of the building to comply with clause 8 of Art. 85 No. 123-FZ? Or an IPR connected to a fire alarm can be considered a starting element, in accordance with clause 8 of Art. 85.
Answer:
Signals to turn on smoke protection equipment must be generated by automatic fire alarm devices when automatic and manual fire detectors are triggered.
When implementing a smoke protection control algorithm based on addressable equipment, the loop of which includes addressable manual fire call points and addressable actuators, the installation of remote manual start devices at emergency exits may not be provided for by the design solution. In this case, it is sufficient to install these devices in the premises of the duty personnel.
If it is necessary to ensure separate switching on of smoke protection equipment from other fire automatic systems, such devices can be installed at emergency exits and in the premises of duty personnel.
