FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.

INTRODUCTION
This part 3 of the IEC 62642 series of standards gives requirements for control and indicating
equipment used in intrusion and hold-up alarm systems. The other parts of this series of
standards are as follows:
Part 1 System requirements
Part 2-2 Intrusion detectors – Passive infrared detectors
Part 2-3 Intrusion detectors – Microwave detectors
Part 2-4 Intrusion detectors – Combined passive infrared / microwave detectors
Part 2-5 Intrusion detectors – Combined passive infrared / ultrasonic detectors
Part 2-6 Intrusion detectors – Opening contacts (magnetic)
Part 2-71 Intrusion detectors – Glass break detectors – Acoustic
Part 2-72 Intrusion detectors – Glass break detectors – Passive
Part 2-73 Intrusion detectors – Glass break detectors – Active
Part 3 Control and indicating equipment
Part 4 Warning devices
Part 5-3 Interconnections – Requirements for equipment using radio frequency techniques
Part 6 Power supplies
Part 7 Application guidelines
Part 8 Security fog devices/systems
In order to insure the consistency of the whole IEC 62642 series, the terminology is defined at
one place that is the master document IEC 62642-1 that gives general requirements
concerning the intrusion system. Exception is made for specific terms to control and indicating
equipment and where repetition is deemed essential for the clarity of this document.
Reference has been included to various implications arising from the detector standards. Full
detail of the interconnection requirements could be the subject of a future standard.
A number of requirements are contained in this standard for which a formal test procedure
can only be written by defining (and hence restricting) the technology by which the
requirement is achieved. Accordingly, it has been recognised that such functions can be
tested only by agreement between manufacturer and test house, according to documented
information relating to how the required functionality has been achieved.
A table to cross reference IEC 62642-1 requirements against this standard and tests has been
included in Annex D.

INTRUSION AND HOLD-UP SYSTEMS –

Part 3: Control and indicating equipment

1 Scope
This part of the IEC 62642 specifies the requirements, performance criteria and testing
procedures for control and indicating equipment (CIE) intended for use in intrusion and hold-
up alarm systems (I&HAS) installed in buildings. This document also applies to CIE to be
used in IAS or HAS.
The CIE may incorporate processing functions of other I&HAS components or its processing
requirements may be distributed among such components.
This standard specifies the requirements for CIE installed in buildings using specific or non-
specific wired interconnections or wire-free interconnections. These requirements also apply
to ancillary control equipment (ACE) that are installed inside or outside of the supervised
premises and mounted in indoor or outdoor environments.
Where CIE shares means of detection, interconnection, control, communication, processing
and/or power supplies with other applications, these requirements apply to I&HAS functions
only.
This standard specifies performance requirements for CIE at each of the four security grades
identified in the IEC 62642-1. Requirements are also specified for four environmental classes
covering applications for indoor and outdoor locations.
This standard includes mandatory functions, which shall be provided on all CIE for the
appropriate security grade, as well as optional functions that may additionally be provided.
NOTE In this standard reference to the term “I&HAS” is used throughout, except where there is specific need to
differentiate between the IAS and HAS portions of a system. The term is intended to include IAS and HAS when
such systems are installed separately.

4 Equipment attributes
4.1 General
CIE shall include attributes for the reception of signals and/or messages, processing the
information, notification and indication as appropriate. The detailed requirements are provided
in Clause 8.
NOTE If a function is provided that is optional for a particular grade and a claim of compliance is made, it should
meet the applicable requirements for the grade for which compliance is claimed (if any are given). If there are no
specifications for the function at the grade in question, the requirements for any higher grade (as identified by the
manufacturer) apply.
Compliance with this standard shall be demonstrated by assessment of Clause 4 through to
Clause 10 and the application of the tests of Clause 11.
Annex D provides a cross reference between the requirements of IEC 62642-1 and the
requirements and tests of this standard.

– 14 – 62642-3 © IEC:2010
4.2 Functionality
Functions additional to the mandatory functions specified in this standard may be included in
I&HAS providing they do not influence the correct operation of the mandatory functions.
Where provided, these additional functions shall not affect compliance with the requirements
of this standard, except as permitted by IEC 62642-1, 8.3.13.
It is permitted for the CIE to include functionality for special purposes that would render the
I&HAS non-compliant with IEC 62642-1. The manufacturer’s documentation shall include a
warning to this effect.
If use of a function(s) or combination of functions within the CIE would result in the installed
I&HAS not being compliant with IEC 62642-1 or being compliant at a lower security grade
(examples are function(s) reducing the security of the I&HAS) the manufacturer shall, either:
a) detail the configuration(s) which are compliant with IEC 62642-1;
or
b) detail the function(s) or combination of functions that would result in the installed I&HAS
not being compliant with IEC 62642-1.
The manufacturer shall document the fact that compliance labelling should be removed or
adjusted if non-compliant configurations are selected.
5 CIE construction
The CIE may be in a single housing or be distributed in multiple housings and may be
combined with other I&HAS components.
Provision shall be made to allow adequate fixing of the housing to the mounting surface.
Use of equipment not part of the I&HAS may be used to carry out ACE functions (examples
are computer, PDA) if the conditions specified in Annex C are met.
6 Security grade
The CIE and ACE shall be declared to comply with one of four security grades (with grade 1
being the lowest and grade 4 being the highest) and shall meet all the requirements of that
grade.
The requirements for the performance of the CIE will vary depending upon its grade. Any
testing will be carried out according to the grade declared in the CIE documentation and
marking.
7 Environmental performance
7.1 Requirements
CIE and ACE shall be suitable for use in at least one of the environmental classes defined in
IEC 62642-1.
When the requirements of the four environmental classes are inadequate, due to the extreme
conditions experienced in certain geographic locations, special national conditions are given
in IEC 62642-1, Annex A.

IEC 62599-2 specifies EMC susceptibility tests relevant to I&HAS components. The operating
conditions for these tests are specified in Table 32 of this standard.
IEC 62599-1 describes environmental test methods relevant to I&HAS components. The tests
applicable are specified in Table 32 of this standard.
NOTE Other environmental aspects, covered by Regional Regulatory Directives, are outside the scope of this
standard.
8 Functional requirements
8.1 Inputs
Depending on the grade of the CIE and ACE, means shall be provided to receive signals or
messages from detectors, hold-up trigger devices and information from user input devices as
specified in the following subclauses.
