    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Deals in requirements, test methods and performance criteria for point smoke detectors that operate using scattered light, transmitted light or ionization, for use in fire detection and fire alarm systems for buildings.

    Scope - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    The amendment will consist of a normative annex that gives requirements for detectors with more than one smoke sensor (these are not included in WI 00072045).
