Foreword
This European Standard was prepared by a joint working group of CLC/TC 205, Home and Building
Electronic Systems (HBES) and CEN/TC 247, Building Automation, Controls and Building Management
(BACS).
The text of the draft was submitted to the Unique Acceptance Procedure and was approved by CENELEC
as EN 50491-2 on 2010-03-01.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN and CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent
rights.
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) 2011-03-01
– latest date by which the national standards conflicting
with the EN have to be withdrawn
(dow) 2013-03-01
As a result of the discussions at the CLC/TC 205 meeting on 2004-10-5/6 concerning the structuring of
their standards in general parts and open system parts (see CLC/TC 205/Sec0413/INF) the following new
parts of EN 50491 under the generic title “General requirements for Home and Building Electronic
Systems (HBES) and Building Automation and Control Systems (BACS)“ under the task of the JWG
CEN/TC 247-CLC/TC 205 are proposed:
Part 2 Environmental conditions;
Part 3 Electrical safety requirements;

Introduction
The EN 50491 series deals with developing and testing Home and Building Electronic Systems (HBES)
and Building Automation and Control Systems (BACS).
The expression HBES/BACS covers any combination of HBES and/or BACS devices including their
separate connected/detachable devices linked together via one or more networks.
Part 2 of this series applies to HBES/BACS devices and defines the environmental conditions for these
devices.
1 Scope
This European Standard provides the environmental conditions for all devices connected to HBES/BACS.
This European Standard is applicable (but not limited) to
- operator stations and other human system interface devices,
- devices for management functions,
- control devices, automation stations and application specific controllers,
- field devices and their interfaces,
- cabling and interconnection of devices,
- dedicated devices for engineering and commissioning tools for HBES/BACS.
The standard defines the general requirements for devices operating in weather protected and non-
weather protected locations, ship environments, portable use and also for storage and transport.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN 60721 series and EN 60068
series and the following apply.
3.1
product documentation
set of documents that may contain any of the following:
- the manufacturer's installation and operations literature which accompanies the product;
- the product information contained in the manufacturer's catalogue and other product
marketing material-information;
- the description, definitions, product literature and usage as presented in electronic format on the
manufacturer's (or supplier's) website on the World Wide Web/Internet
3.2
weather protected locations: controlled conditions
locations that are enclosed, and where direct weather influences are totally excluded. In addition,
temperature is controlled by heating or cooling to maintain the required conditions, especially where these
are very different from those of the open-air climate. Humidity is not controlled. Vibration and shock are
insignificant.
These locations may be in rural and some urban areas with low industrial activities and moderate traffic.
There is no particular risk of biological attack due to mould growth, animals, etc.
EXAMPLES:
- normal living or working areas, for example living rooms, and rooms for general use such as theatres,
restaurants, offices, shops, workshops for electronic assembly and products;
- telecommunication centres;
- storage rooms for valuable and sensitive products.
3.3
weather protected locations: uncontrolled conditions
locations that are enclosed, but whether direct weather influences are not completely excluded.In
addition, neither temperature nor humidity is controlled, although heating may be used to raise low
temperatures where there is a large difference between the conditions of this class and those of the open-
air-climate. Vibration is of low significance.
EXAMPLES:
- entrances and staircases of buildings, garages, cellars, and certain workshops;
- buildings in factories and industrial process plants;
- unattended equipment stations, certain telecommunication buildings, ordinary storage;
- rooms for frost-resistant products, farm buildings, etc.
4 General explanation for all tests
The variety and the diversity of the devices within the scope of this standard make it difficult to define
precise criteria for the evaluation of the immunity test results.
