Overview

EN 50131-10:2014 specifies application-specific requirements for Supervised Premises Transceivers (SPT) used in Intrusion and Hold‑up Alarm Systems (I&HAS). The standard defines how SPTs interface with a Control and Indicating Equipment (CIE) to transmit alarm and other messages from a supervised premises to a remote location. It complements the EN 50136 series (particularly EN 50136-2) and EN 50131-1, focusing on I&HAS‑specific functionality rather than network/ATS performance.

Key topics and technical requirements

• SPT scope & types: Categorisation of SPT structures into Type X (self‑contained), Type Y (installed inside another I&HAS housing, e.g. CIE or power supply), and Type Z (integrated into the CIE).
• Functional interfaces: SPTs must detect input status, generate output signals to the CIE and provide required indications compatible with EN 50131-1 and EN 50136-2.
• Security grades: Conformance to one of the four security grades defined in EN 50131-1 (Grade 1 = lowest to Grade 4 = highest).
• Tamper protection & detection:
  • Housing construction must meet tamper and impact (IK code) severity for the assigned grade.
  • Opening the housing or removal from mounting triggers mandatory or optional tamper signals depending on grade and wireless/wired mounting.
  • Impact energy requirements (examples from the standard: IK04 / 0.5 J for Grade 1; IK06 / 1 J for Grades 2–4).
• Environmental & EMC performance:
  • SPTs must be suitable for one of the environmental classes of EN 50131-1.
  • Environmental and immunity tests follow EN 50130-5 and EN 50130-4 (test conditions specified in the standard).
• Power supply, substitution monitoring, wireless interconnections, documentation, marking and testing: Detailed functional and test requirements cover power sources, anti‑substitution features, wireless links and product documentation.

Applications and who uses it

• Manufacturers and integrators of alarm transmission equipment designing or certifying SPTs for intrusion and hold‑up systems.
• System designers and installers ensuring SPT components meet I&HAS requirements (tamper, security grade, environmental suitability).
• Certification bodies and test labs validating SPT conformity to EN 50131-10:2014.
• Typical use cases: supervised alarm panels with remote annunciation, integrated SPT/CIE devices, or SPT modules mounted inside alarm control housings.

Related standards

• EN 50136-2 (SPT - generic transmission requirements)
• EN 50131-1 (I&HAS system requirements and security grades)
• EN 50131-3 (CIE requirements)

Introduction
This European Standard should be read in conjunction with EN/TS 50136 series, particularly
EN 50136-2, and includes requirements for Supervised Premises Transceivers (SPT) specific to
Intrusion and hold-up alarm system (I&HAS) applications.
EN 50131-1 requires that notification be by warning device (WD) and/or alarm transmission system
(ATS). The SPT is the equipment that forms part of the ATS and provides the interface to the I&HAS.
A WD is a local means of notification whereas the SPT is a means of initiating notification at a
distance through Annunciation Equipment (AE), via a network and Receiving Centre Transceiver
(RCT).
EN 50131-1 in particular states the Alarm Transmission System (ATS) performance criteria to be used
with an I&HAS according to its security grade.

4.1 Additional functions
Functions additional to the mandatory functions specified in this European Standard may be included
providing that they do not influence the correct operation of the mandatory functions.

- 7 - EN 50131-10:2014 (E)
4.2 Equipment features
I&HAS SPT shall include features for the detection of input status, generation of output signals (to the
CIE) and indications required to be compatible with EN 50131-1 and EN 50136-2
4.3 SPT structure
The SPT may be in a single housing or be distributed in multiple housings, and may be housed with
other I&HAS components (e.g. CIE). The functionality of the SPT may be fully or partly integrated with
other components of an I&HAS (e.g. CIE). The I&HAS specific functionality of the SPT may be
provided separately from the generic alarm transmission functionality (i.e. functionality within the
scope of EN 50136-2) or the two sets of functions may be combined (e.g. using a single processor).
This standard defines three types of SPT according to this structure.
Type X – The SPT is a self-contained unit within its own housing.
Type Y – The SPT is a device intended to be installed inside a housing of another I&HAS
component. For the purposes of conforming to this standard the housing shall be that of a CIE
(conforming to EN 50131-3) or the PS (conforming to EN 50131-6).
Type Z – This type of SPT is one in which the CIE and SPT are integrated and the SPT
cannot function independently.
NOTE The Generic alarm transmission functionality is that related to the requirements of EN 50136 series and
the I&HAS specific functionality is that for the EN 50131 series.
See Annex A.
5 Security grade
The SPT shall comply with one of the four security grades described in EN 50131-1 (with grade 1
being the lowest and grade 4 being the highest).
6 Environmental performance
6.1 Requirements
The SPT shall be suitable for use in one of the environmental classes defined in EN 50131-1.
