The SmartHouse Code of Practice is a document that provides a .system designer. working to implement a SmartHouse (to be used as dwelling and as a home office) with a source of information on sensible and pragmatic guidelines for the design, installation and maintenance of SmartHouse systems and the services and applications provided. It is recognised also that providers and installers must work within diverse regulatory environments and must be free to make choices appropriate to their business objectives (which in relation to this document focus on meeting the needs of domestic and small-office users, not large-scale commercial premises). Therefore, we consider standards as enablers and leave prescriptive aspects to local regulation. SmartHouse includes the digital home, intelligent home, connected home, networked home. SmartHouse includes any .smart. activity, service or application in the SmartHouse including any form of .office. or working environment in the SmartHouse (but the smart office in commercial premises is excluded). SmartHouse covers any residential premises where people live (e.g. house or apartment) but excludes commercial and institutional premises (such as hotels or prisons and other commercial dwellings where the day to day management of the accommodation is not controlled by the resident.). SmartHouse includes consideration of the interface with the consumer (customer, subscriber, end user) and the consumer.s needs. The aim is to provide a useful reference document to ensure that the user may exploit the benefits of a consistent system architecture by utilising European and International Standards and other generally accepted specifications in the design of the Smart House system. This document delivers a route to investment synergies, flexibility of services and useful and usable applications that satisfy the individual consumer.s needs and requirements. There are many stakeholders in the SmartHouse, each with their own viewpoint and interests. Rather than try to provide a document that covers all the viewpoints, it was decided to write this Code of Practice as a guide for the System Designer of systems, applications and services in and into the SmartHouse. The interests of all the stakeholders overlap in the System Design of the SmartHouse. CWA 50487:2005;10;The design and implementation of systems, services, applications and products requires detailed information about:;consumer needs and expectations;;user interfaces;;security;;the performance of both the wide area and local networks;;the kinds of applications and services to be used;;the equipment using it;the principles of systems architecture;and how the system and its components are installed, operated, maintained and used. This Code of Practice provides a resource for the practitioner of the SmartHouse and covers information and issues that surround the choices to be made as well as providing a route map for the designer of systems in the SmartHouse. In short, the c onsumer must want or need the service or application, must be able to use it and have it delivered within a SmartHouse system that is installed so that it works effectively and seamlessly with the other systems and components in the SmartHouse. Any service, application or device in the SmartHouse should also be simple to use, easy and intuitive to operate and allow additional applications and services to be added retrospectively. This Code of Practice is therefore subdivided into sections addressing the environment in which the system designer is working and the requirements of the actors in that environment in order to place into context the decisions and constraints the System Designer must make. The CENELEC SmartHouse Code of Practice covers the full range of stakeholders involved in the SmartHouse. Thus as Figure 1.1 below shows, the CoP ranges from the Service provider to the Consumer and takes in all the activities in between that allow services and applications to be delivered.

This European Standard applies to the equipotential bonding inside buildings in which information technology equipment is going to be installed. It contributes to the standardisation of information technology equipment and co-ordinates with the pre-requirements of the generic installation conditions as outlined in IEC 60364-5-548 to achieve the following targets: a) safety from electrical hazards; b) reliable signal reference within the entire information technology installation; c) satisfactory electromagnetic performance of the entire information technology installation. A defined bonding configuration down to the equipment level;independent of the equipment Supplier;is intended to facilitate;the installation, operation and maintenance of information technology installations in buildings;;the interworking between different information technology equipment (interconnected by metallic links). The specification of information technology equipment and of the pre-requirements of installation are subject to agreement of the parties (e. g. the equipment supplier and the purchaser or building owner). This standard applies to buildings with information technology equpiment or in which the installation of information technology equipment is intended. It provides additional information for architects of buildings and for designers and installers of electrical installations of buildings on some installation concepts that limit electromagnetic influences. Basic considerations are given here to mitigate such influences that may result in disturbance. This standard does not apply to buildings which may be subject to a harsh electromagnetic environment, or rooms containing the generation, transmission or termination of voltages over AC 1000 V. This standard does not address the specific requirements for telecommunication centres; these are specified in EN 300253.

This standard applies to electrical equipment using signals in the frequency range 1,6 MHz to 30 MHz to transmit information on low voltage electrical systems, either on the public supply system or within installations in consumers. premises. It does not specify the signal modulation methods nor the coding methods nor functional features. Environmental requirements and tests are not included. The immunity requirements have been selected so as to ensure an adequate level of immunity for apparatus at residential, commercial and light industrial premises (Class 1 environment), and industrial premises supplied from a dedicated HV/MV or MV/LV transformers (Class 2 environment). The severity levels required by this standard may not cover extreme cases which may occur in any location but with a low probability of occurrence. In special cases situations will arise where the level of disturbances may exceed the levels specified in this standard (e.g. where a hand-held transmitter is used in proximity to an apparatus). In these instances special mitigation measures may be required.

This European Standard applies to phase couplers in a mains communication system for phase to neutral voltage not exceeding 250 V a.c. and a nominal current not exceeding 125 A, intended for household and similar fixed installation including residential, commercial and light industrial buildings. This European Standard applies to phase couplers used to control the coupling of communication signals between phases or sections of a mains communication system. A “phase coupler” may be used to achieve coupling between the phases of a multiphase installation, or to provide bridging of signals around other system components. The standard defines  the requirements to ensure a minimum coupling between the sections, and  the requirements to ensure no change on the safety of the electrical installation.

This standard applies to impedance filters in a mains communication system for phase to neutral voltage not exceeding 250 V a.c. and a nominal current not exceeding 125 A, intended for household and similar fixed installation including residential, commercial and light industrial buildings. This standard also applies to "plug-in filters". These filters (see Figure 1) are used to set a suitable impedance, in the nominal frequency range of the mains signalling system, at any point of the low voltage mains network where a low impedance equipment is connected, in order to allow reliable operation of mains signalling system. These impedance filters can be used either in utility or consumer networks. They may also be used in conjunction with incoming filters and segmentation filters.

This standard applies to electrical equipment, excluding decoupling filters, using signals in the frequency range 3 kHz to 148,5 kHz for data transmission on low voltage electrical networks, either on the public supply network or within installations in consumers' premises. It specifies requirements for mains communication equipment with respect to the load impedance of the mains. It does not specify the impedance of external components that are not necessary for the normal functioning of the communication equipment.

To consider the resolution of items designated "under consideration" in the EN; to take into account proposals for further improvement of the EN; to re-align the EN with ISO/IEC DIS 14709-1 (which was derived from EN 50098-1:1994)

This standard applies to decoupling filters installed on the low voltage mains network and operating in the frequency range 3 kHz to 148,5 kHz on low voltage mains network. It does not apply to general purpose filters for EMI suppression. It does not apply to protocol dependant devices except physical layer (frequency). It does not apply to filters incorporated in household equipment for example: washing machines and coffee machines. It specifies the impedance and the transfer function definitions, requirements and test methods of the decoupling filter and some other requirements for example Voltage Drop, Leakage Current and Form Factor. The impedance and the transfer function are referred to the decoupling filter mains power ports (ref. Figure 1). The use of the decoupling filter is considered optional; additional rules or obligations may exist that are outside the scope of this standard. The safety requirements related to decoupling filters are not covered in this standard. They are covered in an other part of the EN 50065 set of standards

Corrigendum to EN issued January 2003

This product safety standard applies to electrical equipment, such as decoupling filters and phase couplers in a mains communication system for a phase to neutral voltage not exceeding AC 250 V and a nominal current not exceeding 125 A, intended for household and similar fixed-electrical installations including residential, commercial and light industrial buildings

This standard is relevant for all electronic products and systems (including their software) having home and/or building control functions. It is not restricted to products complying with the HBES standards. Parts of devices and equipment not providing HBES functionality are not included. For such device parts the relevant product standards apply. This standard defines the general conformity assessment requirements for the communication protocols. This standard indicates those standards to be used for conformity assessment of HBES products and or systems. The conformity assessment procedure provides requirements for all key elements of HBES, such as safety, including functional safety, EMC requirements and environment. These requirements are given by reference to relevant standards, where available. The assessment and testing of installed systems will be covered by EN 50090-9-2.

This European Standard sets the requirements for functional safety for HBES products and systems, a multi-application bus system where the functions are decentralised, distributed and linked through a common communication process. The requirements may also apply to the distributed functions of any equipment connected in a home or building control system if no specific functional safety standard exist for this equipment or system. The functional safety requirements of this European Standard apply together with the relevant product standard for the device if any. This European Standard is used as a product family standard. It is not intended to be used as a stand-alone standard. This European Standard does not provide functional safety requirements for safety-related systems.

This European Standard defines the mandatory and optional requirements for the medium specific Physical and Data Link Layer of Radio Frequency for HBES products and systems, a multi-application bus system where the functions are decentralised, distributed and linked through a common communication process. This European Standard is used as a product family standard. It is not intended to be used as a stand-alone standard. Data Link Layer interface and general definitions, which are medium independent, are given in EN 50090-4-1.

This standard provides common rules for the planning and engineering as well as installation of HBES cabling systems taking into account the layout of the cable support, cables and connectors, and the commissioning of HBES. It applies to HBES networks installed according to the legal boundaries of the electrical utilities additionally. The assessment of an installation shall be based on this standard and CLC/TS 50090-9-2. Rules for co-existence of HBES Class 1 cabling with mains power, and other networks (i.e. those covered by EN 50173 series, EN 50174 series, EN 50083 series) are also specified. This part of EN 50090 recommends one specific implementation but allows any solution which supports the required HBES functionality without disturbing, or being disturbed by, other application systems or networks. This part of EN 50090 is also intended as a predisposition and pre-cabling guide-line for Twisted Pair Class 1. This document concerns only HBES Class 1 application supported by Twisted Pair (TP) media, and coexistence with HBES Class 2 (Class 1 plus simple voice and stable picture transmission), HBES Class 3 (Class 2 plus complex video transfers, e.g. CAT V, and IT) and power networks. Network coexistence is ensured by infrastructure (see 5.2) and installation requirements. This document applies specifically to the installation of copper cables. Power line carrier, and optical fibre communication are outside the scope of this document. The environmental conditions of EN 50090-2-2 apply to enclosure, connectors and generally to all Twisted Pair HBES devices of the installation.
