Building intercom systems - Part 1-1: General requirements
IEC 62820-1-1:2016 specifies the technical requirements for the composition, functions, performance, and test methods of general building intercom systems. This part is applicable to the general intercom systems for building entry in residential or commercial buildings. General building intercom systems have been classified into two grades: Grade 1 adopts lower requirements to cover door-entry-systems not used for relevant security applications while grade 2 adopts higher requirements for building intercom systems for security applications. Each grade may adopt different functional and performance requirements, test methods and normative references.

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.

INTRODUCTION
This part of IEC 62820 specifies the technical requirements for building intercom systems and
equipment used for building entry. Building intercom systems can function independently and
may be extendable to support building security management functions, e.g. extendable with
security management unit (SMU) operated by security staff (door-man, concierge,
security-guard, porter, etc.), or in conjunction with other systems as per the security
requirements of the building. It may consist of: Visitor call unit (VCU), user receiver unit (URU),
SMU, power supply, auxiliary device as well as interface-unit to other security-systems.
The IEC 62820 series of standards set out the technical requirements for the composition,
functions, performance, test methods of building intercom systems for building entry and
application guidelines and consist of five parts:
Part 1-1: System requirements – General
Part 1-2: System requirements – IP building intercom systems
Part 2: Requirements for advanced security building intercom systems
Part 3-1: Application guidelines – General
Part 3-2: Application guidelines – Advanced security building intercom systems
The Part 1-1 of IEC 62820 is based on Chinese standard GB/T 31070.1-2014 and European
standard EN 50486:2008.
