Fire test<\/h3><\/h2><\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div>

In order to determine the proper functioning of automatic fire detectors, a fire test can be performed. A fire test is carried out in a normal operating situation and under the most unfavorable conditions. The Dutch NEN 2535 standard describes different types of fire tests. What fire test is performed, depends on the performance requirements (according a certain fire size) specified in the Schedule of Requirements.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div>

For example, a fire test with fire polyurethane foam mats is performed in order to simulate a smoldering fire. You can also use other materials such as beech wood blocks and methylated spirits to perform a fire test. According to the standard the central fire panel should trigger an alarm within the combustion time of the material. The amount of materials or liquid to be used, depends on the height of the room.<\/p>\n<\/div>
