Infographic explains EN 54-13

To ensure everyone can check their fire system measures up, Advanced, one of the first companies in Europe to achieve Part 13, has produced a new infographic and 1.5m wall chart that sets out the Part 13 related issues you need to be aware of.

EN54-13 is a European standard that ensures: Optimal fire system performance at all times; lives are properly protected in a real fire situation; and complete peace of mind for specifiers, installers and end-users.

The standard involves rigorous third party testing to prove that individual component parts will work together when combined into one system. EN54-13 is currently mandatory in several European countries, but even where not mandated, it is a mark of system performance and reliability.

The infographic explains five things you need to know about EN54-13: 1. Approved systems are rigorously tested for compatibility; 2. Approved systems continuously check for faults; 3. ‘Designed to’ is not the same as ‘Approved to’; 4. Approved panels can save you time and money; 5. Approved systems bring ultimate peace of mind.
