Are you a manufacturer of smoke and/or flame detection systems based on image analysis?

The purpose of an image-based smoke and/or flame detection system is to generate an alarm condition.

This fire alarm condition must be exclusively managed either autonomously or by a fire system to which it is connected.

An image-based smoke and/or flame detection system consists of:

• An image sensor (e.g., camera),
• An image analysis function,
• The connectivity (interfaces, cables, etc.) necessary for system operation (power supply, generation and transmission of alarm conditions).

This system is associated with:

• A software interface enabling configuration of the function and images display,
• A device ensuring the autonomy of the system.

Our expert engineers have drafted a technical specification defining the requirements, performance criteria, and test methods related to smoke and/or flame detection systems based on image analysis.

The independent CNPP’s laboratory can conduct your tests and transparently demonstrate the quality of your products. These tests are continuously adapted to new technologies.

To define the performance of a smoke and/or flame detection system based on image analysis, it is first necessary to establish the capability of the image sensor used by the system to produce a quality image (contrast and color reproduction) despite variations in lighting conditions.

Satisfaction of the imaging requirement is a sine qua non condition for conformity.

Detection performance will then be established by the system’s ability to detect representative target sources within defined timeframes, under controlled lighting and colorimetric conditions.

A number of reference documents, including French and European standards, were used to develop the technical specification, such as:

• NF EN 62676-4 “Video surveillance systems intended for use in security applications – Application guidelines”,
• ISO/TS 7240-29 “Fire detection and alarm systems – Part 29: Video fire detectors”,
• EN 54-4 “Fire detection and fire alarm systems – Part 4: Power supply equipment”,
• Environmental test standards NF EN 60068-2-1, NF EN 60068-2-2, NF EN 60068-2-78,
• Electromagnetic compatibility standards NF EN 61000-4-2, NF EN 61000-4-3, NF EN 61000-4-6,
• NF EN 60529 (IP code for enclosure protection),
• NF EN 62262 (IK code for mechanical impact protection),
• CNPP ST LPMES DEC 17 04 “Connected objects – Digital risk evaluation criteria and test method”.

This certification recognizes the performance and reliability of your DVRs in France and internationally. It is based on a technical specification drafted by our laboratory’s expert engineers and guarantees quality recognized by security professionals. 

Certification is granted following laboratory tests, accompanied by a detailed evaluation report that documents the results of inspections, tests, and measurements, confirming the DVR’s compliance with the technical specification. 

1. Increased Confidence: CNPP Certified assures clients that the image-based smoke and/or flame detection system has been rigorously tested and meets the defined requirements.
