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.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.

INTRODUCTION
This Part 2-3 of the IEC 62642 series of standards gives requirements for microwave
detectors. 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 Requirements for interconnections equipment using radio frequency
techniques
Part 6 Power supplies
Part 7 Application guidelines
Part 8 Security fog devices/systems
This standard deals with microwave detectors (to be referred to as the detector) used as part
of intrusion alarm systems installed in buildings. It includes four security grades and four
environmental classes.
The purpose of a detector is to emit microwave radiation and analyse returned signals to
detect an intruder and to provide the necessary range of signals or messages to be used by
the rest of the intrusion alarm system.
The number and scope of these signals or messages will be more comprehensive for systems
that are specified at the higher grades.
This specification is only concerned with the requirements and tests for the detector. Other
types of detector are covered by other documents identified as IEC 62642-2 series.
