IEC Standard - Security Fog Device / System

The European Standard for Security Fog Devices EN50131-8 has been accepted into the IEC work programme to be developed as an International Standard.

The adopted number for the draft version (CDV) of the standard is IEC 62642-8.

The IEC is the world's leading organization that prepares and publishes International Standards for all electrical, electronic and related technologies — collectively known as electrotechnology.

The purpose of these guidelines is to ensure machines are built and installed to set standards. This will also greatly assist insurers, alarm companies, the authorities and customers in general in understanding the fundamentals of security smoke; from electrical safety, signage, performance and monitoring to consumables and the smoke itself.
