1. Preface

Outlined technical standard for the connection of Fire Alarm Systems (TCS –Technical

Connection Standard) will serve as a monitoring tool for the US Army Garrison

Wiesbaden as well as a planning tool for Directorate of Public Works planning engineers. Purpose of this standard is to ensure contract reliability for the contractor, the contracting party, planning engineers and installation firms.

Planning engineers/offices and installation firms shall prove their professional qualification IAW DIN 14675, DIN EN 54, NFPA 72, NFPA 101 and all related regulations in current version by submitting respective certificates to the contracting entity prior to contract award.

Determination of the required extent of protection rests within the scope of responsibility of the USAG Wiesbaden, Fire Prevention Division.

This standard may be subject to purpose related deviations. Conception, planning and constructional deviations are subject to prior justification and do require coordination with, and the approval of both, the USAG Wiesbaden, Directorate of Public Works as well as the USAG Wiesbaden, Fire Prevention Division. Any deviation shall be documented in writing.

The following provisions of the TCS are a binding part of each contract pertaining to project planning, project construction, maintenance and repair of Fire Alarm Systems and shall be attached to the respective solicitation documents.

The USAG Wiesbaden Fire & Emergency Services Division will update the provisions of this TCS as needed and/or as relevant underlying provisions change.

In general the following requirements respectively guidelines for planning, installation and modification of Fire Alarm Systems shall be met.

2. Scope of Application within the USAG Wiesbaden

The jurisdictional area of the USAG Wiesbaden extends to any installation within the regional area of the USAG Wiesbaden.
