Splošne zahteve za stanovanjske in stavbne elektronske sisteme (HBES) in sisteme za avtomatizacijo in krmiljenje stavb (BACS) - 4. del: Varnostne zahteve za splošno funkcionalnost proizvodov, namenjenih za integracijo v stavbne elektronske sisteme (HBES) in sisteme za avtomatizacijo in krmiljenje stavb (BACS)

Ta del standarda IEC 63044 zagotavlja zahteve funkcionalne varnosti za stanovanjske in stavbne elektronske sisteme (HBES)/sisteme za avtomatizacijo in krmiljenje stavb (BACS).
Poleg tega opredeljuje zahteve funkcionalne varnosti za vmesnik opreme, ki se povezuje z omrežjem za stanovanjske in stavbne elektronske sisteme in sisteme za avtomatizacijo in krmiljenje stavb. Ne uporablja se za vmesnike do drugih omrežij.
OPOMBA 1: Primer drugega omrežja je namensko omrežje IKT, ki je zajeto v standardu IEC 62949. Ta dokument ne določa zahtev funkcionalne varnosti za sisteme, povezane z varnostjo.
OPOMBA 2: Primeri uporabe stanovanjskih in stavbnih elektronskih sistemov/sistemov za avtomatizacijo in krmiljenje stavb, ki ni povezana z varnostjo, so podani v dodatku C. Ta dokument ne določa zahtev glede varstva in varnosti podatkov.

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 Organizati
