ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

EN 54

EN 54 refers to a set of rules and regulations that are designed to ensure that fire alarms and other fire detection systems are effective in detecting and alerting people about fire emergencies. Think of it as a set of guidelines that tell the manufacturers what kind of standards their alarms must meet. It’s like when mommy tells you to clean your room before going to bed, she sets a standard for cleanliness. The EN 54 standards are important because they give us confidence that the fire detection systems will work properly when we need them. Just like we trust our parents to help us with our homework, we trust the EN 54 standards to make sure our buildings are safe.
