Abstract

In the field of fire detection, for more than 30 years the opto-electric principle was used for detecting a fire. In recent years, increasingly fire detectors are based on gas sensors. This chapter, based on some theoretical aspects, describes the different kinds of sensors used for fire detection. In the end, the role of standardization on different levels will be highlighted.
