The EN 54 Marque - TOA's Commitment to Quality

EN 54 is a standard marque of the European Union (EU) for re detection
and re alarm systems. The relevant parts to the voice alarm and audio industry are
part 16, which are concerned with voice alarm control and indicating equipment
(VACIE),
part 24, refers to loudspeakers and part 4, refers to power supplies
The EN 54 standard is a EU regulation and therefore mandatory in each
EU member state without the necessity of being adopted as a national standard.
It belongs to the Construction Product Directive (CPD, 89/106/EEC) and requires a
certication by a notied body (which ensures a high product quality and reliability).
The EN 54 will come into force April 2011
It is imperative that installers and consultants follow these new regulations in order to
maintain the continuity of quality and safety when designing and installing voice alarm
systems. This will enable them to spearhead better integration of Voice Alarm (VA) and
Public Address (PA) as the directive takes hold. Furthermore EN 54 will play a signi-
cant role in the market for Voice Evacuation as the member states of the European
Union will be obliged to replace their local standards with the EN 54 standard by April
2011.
As part of TOAs commitment to professionalism, quality, service and support, we
