Alarm systems - Intrusion and hold-up systems - Part 2-8: Requirements for shock detectors
This document is for shock detectors installed in buildings to detect the shock or series of shocks due to a forcible attack through a physical barrier (for example doors or windows). It specifies four security grades 1-4 (in accordance with EN 50131-1), specific or non-specific wired or wire-free shock detectors and uses environmental Classes I-IV (in accordance with EN 50130-5). This document does not include requirements for detectors intended to detect penetration attacks on safes and vaults for example by drilling, cutting or thermal lance. This document does not include requirements for shock detectors intended for use outdoors. A shock detector needs to fulfil all the requirements of the specified grade. Functions additional to the mandatory functions specified in this document can be included in the shock detector, providing they do not adversely influence the correct operation of the mandatory functions. This document does not deal with requirements for compliance with regulatory directives, such as EMC-directive, low-voltage directive, etc., except that it specifies the equipment operating conditions for EMC- susceptibility testing as required by EN 50130-4. This document does not apply to system interconnections.

Systèmes d'alarme - Systèmes d'alarme contre l'intrusion et les hold-up - Partie 2-8: Exigences relatives aux détecteurs de chocs
Le présent document concerne les détecteurs de chocs installés dans les bâtiments afin de détecter le choc ou la succession de chocs résultant d’une attaque violente contre une barrière matérielle (par exemple, les portes ou les fenêtres). Il spécifie quatre grades de sécurité allant de 1 à 4 (conformément à l’EN 50131-1), des détecteurs de chocs filaires ou sans fil spécifiques ou non spécifiques, et il utilise des classes d’environnement allant de I à IV (conformément à l’EN 50130-5). Le présent document ne contient pas les exigences relatives aux détecteurs destinés à détecter les attaques pour accéder aux coffres-forts et aux chambres fortes, par exemple par perçage, découpe ou en utilisant une lance thermique. Le présent document ne comprend pas les exigences relatives aux détecteurs de chocs destinés à être utilisés à l’extérieur. Il est nécessaire qu’un détecteur de chocs satisfasse à toutes les exigences du grade spécifié. Des fonctions complémentaires aux fonctions obligatoires spécifiées dans le présent document peuvent être incluses dans le détecteur de chocs, sous réserve qu’elles ne compromettent pas la bonne marche des fonctions obligatoires. Le présent document ne traite pas des exigences de conformité aux directives réglementaires, telles que la directive CEM, la directive Basse Tension, etc., mais il spécifie les conditions de fonctionnement du matériel pour les essais de susceptibilité CEM, comme cela est exigé par l’EN 50130-4. Le présent document ne s’applique pas aux liaisons entre systèmes.

Introduction
This document is a European Standard for shock detectors used as part of an Intrusion and Hold-up Alarm
System (I&HAS) installed in buildings. It includes four security grades and four environmental classes.
The purpose of a shock detector is to detect the shock or series of shocks due to a forcible attack through a
physical barrier (for example doors or windows).
The shock detector must provide the necessary range of signals or messages to be used by the rest of the
I&HAS.
The number and scope of these signals or messages will be more comprehensive for systems that are specified
at the higher grades.
This document is only concerned with the requirements and tests for the shock detectors. Other types of
detectors are covered by other documents identified as in the EN 50131-2 series.
1 Scope
This document is for shock detectors installed in buildings to detect the shock or series of shocks due to a
forcible attack through a physical barrier (for example doors or windows).
It specifies four security grades 1-4 (in accordance with EN 50131-1), specific or non-specific wired or wire-free
shock detectors and uses environmental Classes I-IV (in accordance with EN 50130-5).
This document does not include requirements for detectors intended to detect penetration attacks on safes and
vaults for example by drilling, cutting or thermal lance.
This document does not include requirements for shock detectors intended for use outdoors.
A shock detector needs to fulfil all the requirements of the specified grade.
Functions additional to the mandatory functions specified in this document can be included in the shock detector,
providing they do not adversely influence the correct operation of the mandatory functions.
This document does not deal with requirements for compliance with regulatory directives, such as EMC-
directive, low-voltage directive, etc., except that it specifies the equipment operating conditions for EMC-
susceptibility testing as required by EN 50130-4.
This document does not apply to system interconnections.
