Non-Tariff Barriers

NTM classification: B7: Product quality, safety or performance requirements
Date when the measure came into force: 21 April 2015
Publication where the measure is specified: UGANDA GAZETTE Vol. CVIII No. 20 of 21 April 2015
Regulation where the measure is specified: US ISO 7240-27:2009, Fire detection and alarm systems — Part 27: Point-type fire detectors using a scattered-light, transmitted-light or ionization smoke sensor, an electrochemical-cell carbon-monoxide sensor and a heat sensor
Country/Region applying the measure: Uganda
Description of the measure: This Uganda Standard specifies requirements, for multi-sensor point-type fire detectors that incorporate an optical or ionization smoke sensor, an electro-chemical cell for sensing carbon monoxide (CO) and, optionally, one or more heat sensors, for use in fire detection and alarm systems installed in buildings (see US ISO 7240-1). For the testing of other types of fire detectors using smoke, CO and, optionally, heat sensors working on different principles, this standard can be used only for guidance. Fire detectors using smoke, CO and, optionally, heat sensors which have special characteristics and which have been developed for specific risks are not covered by this standard.
