BS EN 50615 - Fire prevention for kitchens

This presentation details the EN50615 fire prevention technology for kitchens, explaining how advanced sensor systems can detect and prevent cooking fires by monitoring temperature, human presence, and air quality, with a particular focus on the increasing risks from electric and induction hobs.

Peter Holland highlights the technology's capabilities, including its ability to cut power before a fire starts, reduce false alarms, potentially integrate with building management systems, and address broader issues like air pollution from cooking, while demonstrating its effectiveness through real-world examples from universities and residential settings.


This session was recored at the Institute of Fire Safety Managers Technical Day, which was part of Fire Safety Matters Live in Coventry on 5 June 2025.
