Overview
EN 50131-1:2006/A2:2017 (CENELEC amendment A2, published May 2017) defines system-level requirements for intrusion and hold-up alarm systems (I&HAS). The amendment harmonises system requirements with component-level standards published since the original EN 50131-1:2006, updates definitions and security grading rules, and clarifies alarm transmission, detection, indication and documentation requirements for compliant alarm systems.
Key Topics and technical requirements
- Security grading - Clarifies grade-related behaviour and fault recognition; introduces specific handling of alarm transmission path (ATP) faults and their recognition.
- Definitions & terminology - Adds and updates key terms (e.g., alarm transmission path (ATP), annunciation equipment (AE), logical key) to align system and component standards.
- Masking and detector immunity - For Grades 3 & 4, detectors that can be masked (movement, shock, glass-break, etc.) must either be immune to masking or provide masking detection.
- Access levels & authorisation - Strengthens multi-level access controls (levels 1–4); access level 4 requires permitting by level 2 and authorisation by level 3; remote access permitted when equivalent authorisation is used.
- Prevention and overriding of setting - Specifies conditions that must prevent system setting (including ATP faults) and defines permitted override access levels.
- Detection identification & indication - Systems must enable identification of which detector caused an intrusion alarm; detectors without processing may share a common indication (maximum of 10 per common indicator).
- Notification and alarm transmission (ATS) - Defines use of Alarm Transmission Systems (ATS) to notify Alarm Receiving Centres (ARCs) and on-site Warning Devices (WD). Notable provisions:
- WD delay: When both ATS and WD present, WD activation may be delayed up to 10 minutes if ATS notification is confirmed by the ARC.
- WD minimum duration: Audible WDs shall function for a minimum of 90 seconds unless local rules require otherwise.
- Prime power faults: Notification of prime power source faults may be delayed up to 1 hour.
- Tamper protection, interconnection monitoring, event recording, functional reliability, environmental, electrical safety, documentation and marking - Amendment clarifies tables and requirements across these areas.
Applications and who uses this standard
- Manufacturers of intrusion detectors, control panels, power supplies and ATS equipment to ensure system compatibility and compliance.
- System designers and integrators specifying grade-appropriate architectures and access controls.
- Installers and commissioning engineers applying prevention-of-setting rules, indication mapping and ATS configuration.
- Alarm Receiving Centres (ARCs) and security managers for operational requirements and fault handling.
- Certification bodies and regulators assessing conformity to European system requirements.

La norme EN 50131-1:2006/A2:2017, intitulée "Systèmes d'alarme - Systèmes d'intrusion et de hold-up - Partie 1 : Exigences du système", joue un rôle crucial dans le domaine des systèmes de sécurité. Cette norme vise à harmoniser les exigences des systèmes avec celles des composants du système, telles que spécifiées dans les autres normes publiées depuis l'introduction de la norme EN 50131-1:2006. L'une des forces majeures de cette norme réside dans sa capacité à établir un cadre cohesif pour la conception et l'implémentation de systèmes d'alarme. En intégrant les exigences des systèmes et des composants, la norme assure une meilleure compatibilité et une interopérabilité entre différents éléments du système de sécurité. Cela permet de garantir un niveau de sécurité optimal tout en simplifiant les processus de certification et de vérification des systèmes. De plus, l'actualisation de la norme en 2017, par le biais de l'amendement A2, renforce sa pertinence face aux évolutions technologiques et aux nouveaux défis en matière de sécurité. Elle tient compte des innovations dans le domaine des équipements de sécurité, assurant ainsi que les utilisateurs disposent des dernières avancées pour protéger efficacement leurs biens. Enfin, la norme EN 50131-1:2006/A2:2017 est particulièrement pertinente dans le contexte actuel, où les menaces à la sécurité physique se diversifient. En adoptant cette norme, les professionnels de la sécurité peuvent non seulement répondre aux exigences réglementaires, mais aussi renforcer la confiance des utilisateurs envers les systèmes de sécurité, contribuant ainsi à un environnement plus sûr.
Die Norm EN 50131-1:2006/A2:2017 beschreibt die grundlegenden Systemanforderungen für Alarmanlagen, die sowohl für Einbruch- als auch Überfallmeldesysteme relevant sind. Die Norm zielt darauf ab, die Systemanforderungen mit den Anforderungen an die Systemkomponenten zu harmonisieren, die in den seit der Veröffentlichung der ursprünglichen Norm EN 50131-1:2006 veröffentlichten Normen spezifiziert sind. Ein bedeutender Stärke der EN 50131-1:2006/A2:2017 ist ihre Fähigkeit, einheitliche Standards zu setzen, die die Sicherheitssysteme auf dem europäischen Markt verbessern. Die Norm ermöglicht eine klare Definition von Leistungsanforderungen und Kriterien, die die Zuverlässigkeit und Effektivität von Alarmanlagen erhöhen. Dies ist besonders relevant in einer Zeit, in der die Sicherheit sowohl für private als auch geschäftliche Anwender von größter Bedeutung ist. Zusätzlich betont die Norm die Integration moderner Technologien in die Sicherheitslösungen, was für die heutige dynamische Bedrohungslage äußerst wichtig ist. Durch die Standardisierung von Produkten und Systemen können Anwender sicher sein, dass sie Geräte wählen, die den höchsten sicherheitstechnischen Anforderungen entsprechen. Die EN 50131-1:2006/A2:2017 stellt somit einen wesentlichen Bezugspunkt für Hersteller, Installateure und Anwender dar, um qualitativ hochwertige und konforme Alarmanlagen zu gewährleisten. In der Durchführung von Sicherheitsanalysen und der Risikobewertung sind die in dieser Norm festgelegten Anforderungen unerlässlich, um potentielle Sicherheitslücken präventiv zu schließen. Durch die Ausweitung der Richtlinien in Bezug auf nachgelagerte Normen bietet die EN 50131-1:2006/A2:2017 eine umfassende Grundlage für die Entwicklung und Implementierung zeitgemäßer Sicherheitslösungen, und zeigt damit ihre Relevanz in der aktuellen Sicherheitsbrache.
