CLC/TC 79/WG 01 - Intruder & hold-up alarm systems

This European Standard specifies the requirements for Intrusion and Hold-up Alarm Systems installed in buildings using specific or non-specific wired interconnections or wire-free interconnections. These requirements also apply to the components of an I&HAS installed in a building which are normally mounted on the external structure of a building e.g. ancillary control equipment or warning devices. The standard does not include requirements for exterior I&HAS. This standard specifies performance requirements for installed I&HAS but does not include requirements for design, planning, installation, operation or maintenance. These requirements also apply to I&HAS sharing means of detection, triggering, interconnection, control, communication and power supplies with other applications. The functioning of an I&HAS shall not be adversely influenced by other applications. Requirements are specified for I&HAS components where the relevant environment is classified. This classification describes the environment in which an I&HAS component may be expected to function as designed. When the requirements of the four environmental classes are inadequate, due to the extreme conditions experienced in certain geographic locations, special national conditions are given in Annex A. General environmental requirements for I&HAS components are described in Clause 7. The requirements of this European Standard also apply to IAS and HAS when these systems are installed independently. When an I&HAS does not include functions relating to the detection of intruders, the requirements relating to intrusion detection do not apply. When an I&HAS does not include functions relating to hold-up, the requirements relating to hold-up do not apply. NOTE Unless otherwise stated the abbreviation I&HAS is intended to also mean IAS and HAS.

Harmonise system requirements with requirements for system components specified in standard published since EN 50131-1:2006 was published.

This European Standard specifies the requirements for External and Perimeter security systems (EPSS)- installed externally using specific or non-specific wired interconnections or wire-free interconnections. These requirements are not intended to apply to security system, e.g. intruder alarms, visual surveillance system (VSS), access control systems installed in buildings. This standard specifies performance requirements for installed EPSS but does not include requirements for design, planning, installation, operation or maintenance. These requirements also apply to EPSS sharing means of detection, triggering, interconnection, control, communication and power supplies with other applications. The operation of a EPSS shall not be adversely influenced by other applications. Requirements are specified for EPSS components where the relevant environment is classified. This classification describes the environment in which a EPSS component may be expected to operate as designed. Requirements for two environmental classes are specified for EPSS components. When the requirements of these two environmental classes are inadequate, due to the extreme conditions experienced in certain geographic locations, special national conditions are also specified in Annex A. Interconnections and products used to combine both an I&HAS and EPSS systems, e.g. control and indicating equipment, should comply to both the IEC 62642 (EN 50131) and EPSS suite of standards. The failure of either system or a fault in either system should not be adversely affect the performance of the other.
