AS 1603.13:2018 PDF

The objective of this Standard is to specify performance requirements for duct sampling equipment for use in fire detection and alarm systems or smoke control systems conforming with the requirements of AS 1670.1, Automatic fire detection and alarm systems — System design, installation and Commissioning, Part 1: Fire.

This Standard applies to DSEs intended for installation in accordance with AS 1670.1.

Where the duct sampling housing is part of duct sampling equipment conforming to one of the standards in the referenced documents, the only test required is the sensitivity test specified in Clause 2.2.

For duct sampling housings without a certificate of conformity to one of the referenced standards, then all requirements of this Standard must be assessed and tested.
