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.
International Standard IEC 60839-11-1 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 79:
Alarm and electronic security systems.The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
79/410/FDIS 79/416/RVD
Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on
voting indicated in the above table.This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.

Future standards in this series will carry the new general title as cited above. Titles of existing
standards in this series will be updated at the time of the next edition.The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until
the stability date indicated on the IEC web site under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data
related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.

INTRODUCTION
This standard is part of the IEC 60839 series, written to include the following parts:
Part 11-1 Electronic access control systems – System and components requirementsPart 11-2 Electronic access control systems – Application guidelines
This part of IEC 60839 describes the general requirements for functionalities of electronic
access control systems (EACS) for use in security applications. The design, planning,
installation, operation, and maintenance are part of the application guidelines in
IEC 60839-11-2 . The risk analysis is not part of this standard and the risk levels are for
informational purposes only.An electronic access control system consists of one or more components that when
interconnected meet the functionality criteria stated in this standard.
This standard defines different security grades and the functionalities of the access control
system associated with each of these grades. It includes also the minimum environmental and
EMC compliance criteria as applicable for components of the electronic access control system
in every grade.When a part of an electronic access control system (e.g. access point interface) forms a part
of an alarm system (intrusion, hold-up, VSS [Video Surveillance Systems], etc.) that part shall
also fulfil the relevant requirements of the applicable IEC standards. Functions additional to
the mandatory functions specified in this standard may be included in the electronic access
control system providing they do not prevent the requirements of this standard from being met.
This International standard also applies to access control systems sharing means of
recognition, detection, triggering, interconnection, control, communication, alert signalling and
power supplies with other applications. The operation of an access control system should not
be adversely influenced by other applications.An electronic access control system may consist of any number of access points. This
standard addresses the security grade classification for each access point.Compliance of the individual component parts of the electronic access control system can be
assessed to this standard provided all relevant requirements are applied.The specific requirements for access point actuators, such as electric door openers,
electronic locks, turnstiles and barriers are included in other standards.______________
Under consideration.

ALARM AND ELECTRONIC SECURITY SYSTEMS –
Part 11-1: Electronic access control systems –
System and components requirements
1 Scope
This part of IEC 60839 specifies the minimum functionality, performance requirements and
test methods for electronic access control systems and components used for physical access
(entry and exit) in and around buildings and protected areas. It does not include requirements
for access point actuators and sensors.This standard is not intended to cover requirements for off premise transmission associated
with intrusion or hold up alarm signals.This standard applies to electronic access control systems and components intended to be
used in security applications for the granting of access and includes requirements for logging,
identification and control of information.The standard comprises the following:
– A conceptual model and system architecture.
– Criteria covering:
• classification based on performance functionalities and capabilities;
• access point interface requirements;
• indication and annunciation requirements (display, alert, logging);
• duress signalling and overriding;
• recognition requirements;
• system self-protection requirements;
• communication between the component parts of the electronic access control system
and with other systems.– Requirements for environmental conditions (indoor/outdoor use) and electromagnetic
compatibility.– Test methods.
