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.

maximum time periods defined in Table 3, when the voltage of the SD falls below a value
as specified by the PS manufacturer.
An APS fault signal or message shall be removed according to Table 2 and within the
maximum time periods defined in Table 3, when the voltage of the SD rises above a value
specified by the PS manufacturer.
NOTE 1 A disconnected SD is considered a special case of low voltage.
NOTE 2 For PS type A, it is not necessary to monitor for storage device low voltage when the storage device is
undergoing charging.
For PS type C:
A storage device low voltage fault signal or message shall be generated within the
maximum time periods defined in Table 3, before the SD reaches a condition such that it
is unable to provide its rated output for longer than a minimum of 30 days.

A storage device low voltage fault signal or message shall be removed within 10 s
according to Table 2, when the voltage of the SD rises above the low value specified by
the PS manufacturer e.g. following replacement of the battery.
For all PS types, the PS manufacturer shall declare in his documentation the voltage of the
SD that will generate this fault signal or message.

For wirefree devices with intermittent operation e.g. wireless hold-up trigger device, it is permissible for
communication of the low voltage fault signal or message to be delayed until the first available
transmission.
4.2.3 Storage device – Failure
For PS type A, a SD failure condition shall be detected within 24 h of failure of the SD.
An APS fault signal or message shall be generated within 10 s of detection of SD failure.
Examples of methods deemed suitable to determine a storage device failure condition are
given in Annex A.
The APS fault signal or message shall be removed within 10 s of detection of a normal
storage device condition.
If the PS is designed to be connected to two or more storage devices in a parallel
configuration in accordance with the guidance of the SD manufacturer, they shall be
monitored as separate storage devices. An APS fault signal or message shall be generated
upon detection of failure for any one device. The APS fault signal or message shall be
removed only when all devices no longer show a failure condition.
These tests shall only be applied when the EPS is available.
Following disconnection and reconnection of the EPS, this test may be delayed for up to 24 h
to enable recharge of the SD.

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.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

Part 6: Power supplies
1 Scope
This part of the IEC 62642 series specifies the requirements, performance criteria and testing
procedures for power supplies (PS) to be used as part of Intrusion and Hold up Alarm
Systems (I&HAS). The PS shall either be an integral part of an I&HAS component or stand-
alone. The control functions of the PS may be incorporated as part of the PS device, or may
be provided by another I&HAS component e.g. a control and indicating equipment (CIE).
This International Standard is not applicable when the PS requirements for I&HAS
components are included within the relevant product standard.
The requirements correspond to each of the four security grades given in the IEC 62642-1.
Requirements are also given for four environmental classes covering applications in internal
and outdoor locations.
This standard covers mandatory functions which shall be provided on all PS and optional
functions which may be provided.
Other functions associated with I&HAS not specified in this standard may be provided. Such
functions shall not affect the requirements of any mandatory or optional functions.

4.2 Monitoring of PS
The PS shall generate fault signals or messages for communication to the CIE according to
Table 2.
Monitoring signals or messages shall be fail safe such that total loss of function of the PS will
be recognised as a fault condition by the I&HAS.
