Monitoring and alarm receiving centre - Part 1: Location and construction requirements
This part of EN 50518 specifies the minimum requirements for the design, construction, and functioning equipment for premises where the monitoring, receiving and processing of (alarm) signals generated by one or more intruder and hold-up alarm systems takes place as an integrated part of the total safety and security process. The requirements apply for applications in a remote configuration where multiple systems report to a single or multiple Alarm Receiving Centre(s) (ARC) as well as to a single site facility aimed for the monitoring and processing of alarms generated by one or more alarm systems installed within the perimeter of that particular site. This part of EN 50518 is to be read in conjunction with Part 2 and Part 3, and cannot be used separately.

Nadzorni in sprejemni centri za alarme - 1. del: Zahteve za lokacijo in konstrukcijo
Ta del standarda EN 50518 določa minimalne zahteve za načrtovanje, gradnjo in delovanje opreme za prostore, kjer se kot sestavni del celotnega varnostnega in varovalnega postopka izvajajo nadzor, sprejemanje in obdelava (alarmnih) signalov, ki so posledica enega ali več vsiljivcev, in sistemi za javljanje vloma. Zahteve veljajo za sisteme z oddaljeno konfiguracijo, kjer več sistemov poroča enemu sprejemnemu centru za alarme (ARC) ali več.

Foreword This document (EN 50518-1:2013) has been prepared by CLC/TC 79 "Alarm systems". The following dates are fixed: • latest date by which this document has to be implemented at national level by publication of an identical national standard or by endorsement (dop) 2014-10-07 • latest date by which the national standards conflicting with this document have to be withdrawn (dow) 2016-10-07 This document supersedes EN 50518-1:2010. EN 50518-1:2013 includes the following significant technical changes with respect to EN 50518-1:2010. – There was no mandatory connection for certification between the three parts of the standard with the result that it could be possible to certify only against one or two of the three parts of the standard, which is clearly not the purpose of the WG. This is solved by adding a sentence “This part of EN 50518 is to be read in conjunction with Part 2 and Part 3, and cannot be used separately.” to the foreword. – The scope is limited to intruder and hold-up alarm systems. – The resistance class was changed from RC4 to RC3. – All normative references are updated. – The requirements of the generator and standby generator are changed (7.2 and 7.2.3). It is not mandatory to install generators within the shell. EN 50518 consists of the following parts under the generic title “Monitoring and alarm receiving centre”: Part 1: Location and construction requirements; Part 2: Technical requirements; Part 3: Procedures and requirements for operation. This part of EN 50518 is to be read in conjunction with Part 2 and Part 3, and cannot be used separately. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CENELEC [and/or CEN] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

- 5 - EN 50518-1:2013 Introduction This European Standard applies to Monitoring and Alarm Receiving Centres (MARC) that monitor and/or receive and/or process signals that require an emergency response. In all existing EN 50131 series accomplished under CLC/TC 79 "Alarm systems", the abbreviation ARC is used. To avoid confusion and to achieve consistency in terminology the abbreviation ARC will be used throughout this European Standard, where MARC is equivalent for ARC. The function of receiving, processing and initiating response actions by (human) intervention for information provided by alarm systems is not limited to only those signals as generated by Intruder and Hold-up Alarm Systems (I&HAS). The whole series of standards under CLC/TC 79, Alarm systems, encompasses CCTV surveillance systems (EN 50132), social alarm systems (EN 50134), access control systems (EN 50133) and audio and video door entry systems. All mentioned systems can send information, including alarms, to one or more remote locations for further processing, evaluation and (human) intervention. All alarm information generated by other systems e.g. fire detection and fire alarm systems, (vehicle) tracking and tracing systems, guarding or telecommunication network supervision is regularly transmitted to one or more remote locations for further processing, evaluation and (human) intervention. In all above circumstances external and internal criminal action, emergency situations and/or calamities can jeopardise the safety and security of human beings and or properties. The central locations where the receiving, processing and initiation of (human) intervention take place should comply with the requirements of this European Standard. SIST EN 50518-1:2013
