Alarm systems - Part 5: Environmental test methods

This European Standard specifies environmental test methods to be used for testing the system components of the following alarm systems, intended for use in and around buildings: - intruder alarm systems; - hold-up alarm systems; - social alarm systems; - CCTV systems, for security applications; - access control systems, for security applications; - alarm transmission systems 1). This European Standard specifies three equipment classes (fixed, movable & portable equipment) and four environmental classes. The environmental classes only include the general service environments envisaged for equipment installed in typical residential, commercial and industrial environments. It may be necessary for the product standard to require additional or different environmental tests or severities where a) there could be specific environmental problems (e.g. some different severities may be required for break glass detectors stuck to glass windows, due to the local extremes of temperature and humidity), b) the test exposure falls within the intended detection phenomenon of the detector (e.g. during a vibration test on a seismic detector). In order to provide reproducible test methods and to avoid the proliferation of technically similar test methods, the test procedures have been chosen, where possible, from internationally accepted standards (e.g. IEC publications). For specific guidance on these tests, reference should be made to the appropriate document, which is indicated in the relevant sub section. For more general guidance and background information on environmental testing, reference should be made to EN 60068 1 and to the EN 60068 3 series. This European Standard does not specify a) the requirements or performance criteria to be applied, which should be specified in the relevant product standard, b) special tests only applicable to a particular device (e.g. the effects of turbulent air draughts on ultrasonic movement detectors), c) basic safety requirements, such as protection against electrical shocks, unsafe operation, insulation coordination and related dielectric tests, d) tests relating to deliberate acts of damage or tampering.

Foreword
This European Standard was prepared by the Technical Committee CENELEC TC 79, Alarm systems.
The text of the draft was submitted to the formal vote and was approved by CENELEC as EN 50130-5
on 2011-06-13.
This document supersedes EN 50130-5:1998.
The main changes with respect to EN 50130-5:1998 are listed below:
1) updating of the referenced base standards to the latest editions, this updating has caused
changes therefore in the test methods used in several clauses.
2) Clauses 8 and 9 have had changes made to the requirements in class IV limits.
3) Clause 27 was removed.
The following dates were fixed:
– latest date by which the EN has to be implemented

at national level by publication of an identical

national standard or by endorsement
(dop) 2012-06-13

– latest date by which the national standards conflicting

with the EN have to be withdrawn
(dow) 2014-06-13
This European Standard is part of the EN 50130 series of standards. This series is intended to give
the requirements applicable to alarm systems in general (e.g. the environmental test methods, in this
case, and EMC immunity requirements in the case of EN 50130-4). The following associated series of
European standards are intended to give the other requirements (e.g. performance requirements),
which are applicable to the specific types of alarm systems:
- EN 50131 Alarm systems – Intrusion and hold-up systems;
- EN 50132 Alarm systems – CCTV surveillance systems for use in security applications;
- EN 50133 Alarm systems – Access control systems for use in security applications;
- EN 50134 Alarm systems – Social alarm systems;
- EN 50136 Alarm systems – Alarm transmission systems and equipment;

1 Scope
This European Standard specifies environmental test methods to be used for testing the system
components of the following alarm systems, intended for use in and around buildings:
- intruder alarm systems;
- hold-up alarm systems;
- social alarm systems;
- CCTV systems, for security applications;
- access control systems, for security applications;
1)
- alarm transmission systems .
This European Standard specifies three equipment classes (fixed, movable & portable equipment) and
four environmental classes.
The environmental classes only include the general service environments envisaged for equipment
installed in typical residential, commercial and industrial environments. It may be necessary for the
product standard to require additional or different environmental tests or severities where
a) there could be specific environmental problems (e.g. some different severities may be required for
break glass detectors stuck to glass windows, due to the local extremes of temperature and
humidity),
b) the test exposure falls within the intended detection phenomenon of the detector (e.g. during a
vibration test on a seismic detector).
In order to provide reproducible test methods and to avoid the proliferation of technically similar test
methods, the test procedures have been chosen, where possible, from internationally accepted
standards (e.g. IEC publications). For specific guidance on these tests, reference should be made to
the appropriate document, which is indicated in the relevant sub-section. For more general guidance
and background information on environmental testing, reference should be made to EN 60068-1 and
to the EN 60068-3 series.
This European Standard does not specify
a) the requirements or performance criteria to be applied, which should be specified in the relevant
product standard,
b) special tests only applicable to a particular device (e.g. the effects of turbulent air draughts on
ultrasonic movement detectors),
c) basic safety requirements, such as protection against electrical shocks, unsafe operation,
insulation coordination and related dielectric tests,
d) tests relating to deliberate acts of damage or tampering.

4 Environmental classes
This European Standard specifies the tests and severities to be used for each of the following
environmental classes:
I Indoor but restricted to residential/office environment
(e.g. living rooms and offices)
II Indoor in general
(e.g. sales floors, shops, restaurants, stairways, manufacturing and assembly areas, entrances
and storage rooms)
III Outdoor but sheltered from direct rain and sunshine, or indoor with extreme
environmental conditions
(e.g. garages, lofts, barns and loading bays)
IV Outdoor in general
Classes I, II, III and IV are progressively more severe, and therefore class IV equipment may be used
in class III applications, etc.
A special suffix "A" can be added to classes III & IV, to cater for the especially cold conditions found in
the very north of Europe. The environmental classes IIIA & IVA are identical to classes III & IV,
respectively, apart from the conditioning temperature in the Cold (operational) and Temperature
change (operational) tests. The testing for classes IIIA & IVA shall therefore be conducted as for
classes III & IV, respectively, except for these tests, in which the lower conditioning temperature,
indicated in the appropriate tables (see 10.3.4 & 11.3.4), shall be used.
5 Standard laboratory conditions
Unless otherwise specified, the atmospheric conditions in the laboratory shall be the standard
atmospheric conditions for measurements and tests, specified in EN 60068-1:1994, 5.3.1, as follows:
- temperature: 15 °C to 35 °C;
- relative humidity: 25 % to 75 %;
- air pressure: 86 kPa to 106 kPa.
NOTE  If variations in these parameters have a significant effect on a measurement, then such variations should be kept to a
minimum during a series of measurements carried out as part of one test on one specimen.
6 Tolerances
Unless otherwise stated, the tolerances for the environmental test parameters shall be as given in the
basic reference standards for the test (e.g. the relevant part of the EN 60068-2 series).
7 Information to be included in the relevant product standard
The following information, which is required to conduct the environmental tests, shall be included in
the relevant product standard making reference to this standard:
a) the equipment class (fixed, movable or portable - see Clause 3);
b) the mounting arrangements for the specimen;

---------------------- Page: 11 ----------------------

SIST EN 50130-5:2011
EN 50130-5:2011 – 10 –
c) any deviations from the specified test procedure(s) or test severity(ies);
d) any initial measurements or inspections, to be made before the conditioning (e.g. a functional
test);
e) the state of the specimen required during the conditioning (e.g. the configuration and operating
conditions);
f) any monitoring of the specimen and any measurements or inspections to be made during the
conditioning (e.g. a functional test, where possible);
g) any final measurements or inspections to be made after the conditioning (e.g. a functional test
and a visual inspection) and any special recovery conditions required before these
measurements;
h) the pass/fail criteria;
i) the test schedule, which gives the allocation of specimens to each test.
The following points should be taken into account during the drafting of the product standard making
reference to this standard:
- the information, a) to h) above, may differ from test to test or between types of tests (e.g. between
Operational & Endurance tests);
- for some types of equipment, it may not be possible to make the usual functional test during the
condit
