Introduction
These application guidelines are intended to provide advice relating to the design, installation, operation
and maintenance of Intruder Alarm Systems (IAS). The purpose of this document is to ensure, as far as is
practical, that IAS provide the required performance with a minimum of unwanted alarms.
NOTE Clause 12 includes requirements relating to the operation of IAS.
These application guidelines are set out in the logical order in which an IAS would normally be designed
and installed. Each procedure is set out separately in the guideline but it is accepted that, in practice,
some of the procedures may be carried out simultaneously. Annex J describes in the form of a flowchart
the main processes and documentation included in this application guideline.
Those responsible for the design, installation, operation and maintenance of IAS should be conversant
with other European Specifications relating to IAS, particularly those relating to system performance,
control and indicating equipment, detectors, warning devices, power supplies and alarm transmission
systems.
These application guidelines are set out in seven main clauses; a brief explanation of each section is
shown below:
• Clause 7 - System design
This clause is intended to assist those responsible for designing IAS to design IAS suitable for the
premises to be supervised in relation to the perceived risk(s). The design of the IAS will depend on
many factors all of which will influence the design of the IAS to a greater or lesser degree.
Consideration of these factors will result in a system design proposal for an IAS with the appropriate
extent, security grade and environmental class.
• Clause 8 - Installation planning
This clause is intended to help those responsible for installing the IAS by highlighting issues which
should be considered prior to commencing the installation of the IAS.
• Clause 9 - System installation
In this clause guidance is given with regard to issues arising during the installation of the IAS. This
clause is intended to ensure the IAS is correctly installed as specified at the design stage.
• Clause 10 - Inspection, test, commissioning and acceptance
In this clause guidance is given on issues arising after the IAS has been installed. The clause is
intended to ensure the IAS has been installed as specified and also provides the level of performance
intended at the design stage. Guidance is also provided with regard to the proper commissioning and
handing over of the system to the user and to the documents, records and operating instructions
which should be provided.
• Clause 11 - Documentation and records
This clause describes the documentation which should be provided to the client on completion of the
IAS. The documents are intended to provide a history of modifications to the IAS, based on the As
Fitted document, prepared when the IAS installation was completed.
The records are intended to chronicle any corrective action carried out following unwanted alarm
conditions and details of any repairs or modifications to the IAS. The record should also include
details of temporary disconnections.

CLC/TS 50131-7:2003 - 6 -
• Clause 12 Operation
This clause describes the responsibility of the client or user of the IAS to properly maintain the IAS
and to ensure it is operated correctly.
• Clause 13 - Maintenance and repair
This clause describes how the IAS should be maintained and repaired to ensure the IAS continues to
provide the level of performance intended at the design stage.

1 Scope
These application guidelines include guidance on the design, planning, operation, installation,
commissioning and maintenance of IAS installed in buildings. Requirements for IAS are specified in
EN 50131-1.
These application guidelines are intended to assist those responsible for establishing the need for an IAS
to ascertain the appropriate design of the IAS both in terms of the extent of the supervision required and
in determining the grade of system performance necessary to provide the degree of supervision
considered appropriate.
These application guidelines are also intended to assist those responsible for selecting equipment
appropriate to both the level of performance required and the environmental conditions in which the
equipment will be required to operate.
These application guidelines are relevant to all classes and grades of IAS of any size and complexity.
This application guideline should be read in conjunction with EN 50131-1.
NOTE It has been assumed in the drafting of these application guidelines that the execution of its provisions will be
entrusted to appropriately qualified and experienced persons. However the guidance is also appropriate to other
persons who may be required to purchase or use an IAS.

4 Grade of IAS
The grade of the IAS will depend upon the performance required as determined during the risk
assessment and location survey.
An IAS may include IAS components of differing grades when divided into clearly defined sub-systems.
When the IAS is divided into sub-systems, each sub-system may be of a different grade. The grade of a
sub-system shall be that of the lowest graded component within it.
---------------------- Page: 13 ----------------------
SIST-TS CLC/TS 50131-7:2004
CLC/TS 50131-7:2003 - 12 -
Components shared by more than one sub-system should have a grade equal to that of the highest sub-
system grade.
EXAMPLE: control and indicating equipment, alarm transmission system, warning devices and power
supplies.
4.1 Grading structure
EN 50131-1 describes four grades of performance which should be considered when selecting
equipment. These are as follows:
4.1.1 Grade 1: Low risk
Intruders are expected to have little knowledge of IAS and be restricted to a limited range of easily
available tools.
4.1.2 Grade 2: Low to medium risk
Intruders are expected to have a limited knowledge of IAS and the use of a general range of tools and
portable instruments.
EXAMPLE: a multi-meter.
4.1.3 Grade 3: Medium to high risk
Intruders are expected to be conversant with IAS and have a comprehensive range of tools and portable
electronic equipment.
4.1.4 Grade 4: High risk
To be used when security takes precedence over all other factors. Intruders are expected to have the
ability or resource to plan an intrusion in detail and have a full range of equipment, including means of
substitution of vital components in the IAS.
5 Environmental classification
The environmental class of each system component should be determined by the environmental
conditions in which the component is expected to operate.
EN 50131-1 defines four environmental classes as shown below:
I) indoor but restricted to residential/office environment;
EXAMPLE: living rooms and offices.
II) indoor in general;
EXAMPLE: sales floors, shops, restaurants, stairways, manufacturing and assembly areas and
storage rooms.
III) outdoor but sheltered from direct rain and sunshine, or indoors with extreme environmental
conditions;
EXAMPLE: garages lofts, barns and loading bays.
IV) outdoor in general

- 13 - CLC/TS 50131-7:2003
6 General
The IAS should be installed, operated (see Clause 12) and maintained in a manner consistent with the
manufacturers recommendations for the equipment and the environmental conditions under which the
IAS is expected to operate.
6.1 Other components
Components of other systems may be combined or integrated with the IAS providing the performance of
the IAS components are not adversely influenced.
6.2 Safety
National or European requirements relating to safety may exist. Such requirements are not included in
these application guidelines and reference should be made directly to the relevant National or European
documents.
EXAMPLE: electrical safety.
6.3 Unwanted alarms
It is recommended that care should be taken by system designers, installation companies, alarm
companies and users, to avoid unwanted alarms.
6.4 Responsibility
Responsibility for each individual stage in the process of supplying an IAS; design, installation,
commissioning and hand-over should be clearly defined and agreed between the relevant parties.
6.5 Qualifications
Persons responsible for risk assessment and the design, installation, maintenance and repair of IAS
should hold appropriate qualifications.
NOTE These qualifications required may vary from country to country.
6.6 Confidentiality
