Foreword

This document complies with the provisions of GB/T 1.1-2020 "Standardization Work Guidelines Part

1.Structure and Drafting Rules of Standardization Documents". Drafting. This document replaces GB 12978-2003 "Inspection Rules for Fire Protection Electronic Products". Compared with GB 12978-2003, except for structural adjustments and revisions... Aside from the logical changes, the main technical changes are as follows:

a) The classification of tests has been changed (see Chapter 5, Chapter 3 of the.2003 edition);

b) The requirements for test samples have been changed (see Chapter 6,

4.1 of the.2003 edition);

c) The technical documentation requirements have been changed (see Chapter 7,

4.4 of the.2003 edition);

d) The inspection requirements have been changed (see Chapter 8, 5.1, 6.1, 7.1, 8.1, and

9.1 of the.2003 edition);

e) The decision-making rules have been changed (see Chapter 9,

7.3 of the.2003 edition). Please note that some content in this document may involve patents. The issuing organization of this document assumes no responsibility for identifying patents. This document was proposed and is under the jurisdiction of the State Fire and Rescue Administration. The release history of this document and the document it replaces is as follows:

---First published as GB 12978-1991 in.1991, and revised for the first time in.2003;

---This is the second revision. Fire protection electronic product inspection rules

1 Scope

China's mandatory rules for testing fire electronic products. Fire detection and alarm equipment is unlike almost any other electronics in what is asked of it: it sits dormant for years and must then work correctly, once, in an environment that is actively destroying it. So the test regime is built around endurance and integrity rather than function alone. These rules are the common framework that the individual product standards for detectors, control panels, sounders and interfaces all reference: the climatic tests for temperature, humidity and corrosion, the mechanical tests for vibration, shock and impact, the electromagnetic compatibility that matters because a fire system sits in a building full of interference and must neither be disturbed nor disturb, the supply variation and battery endurance, and the fault conditions the equipment must detect and signal rather than fail silently.

This document defines the terminology for the inspection (including testing and experimentation) of fire protection electronic products, and specifies the general requirements for the inspection of fire protection electronic products. Inspection classification, inspection samples, documents, inspection requirements, and judgment rules. This document applies to the inspection of fire protection electronic products by testing and inspection organizations (unless otherwise stipulated by relevant laws and regulations).
