Alarm systems - Part 4: Electromagnetic compatibility - Product family standard: Immunity requirements for components of fire, intruder and social alarm systems

Executive summary

Immunity requirements for the components of alarm systems used in buildings.

Abstract

This European Standard on immunity requirements applies to the components of the following alarm systems, intended for use in and around buildings in residential, commercial, light industrial and industrial environments:

- intruder alarm systems;

- hold-up alarm systems;

- fire detection and fire alarm systems;

- social alarm systems;

- CCTV systems, for security applications;

- access control systems, for security applications;

- alarm transmission systems.

The immunity tests in this standard only concern the most critical disturbance phenomena.

This EMC product-family standard does not specify basic safety requirements, such as protection against electrical shocks, unsafe operation, insulation coordination and related dielectric tests.

This standard does not cover EMC emission requirements.

History and related standards

This European standard includes the following cross references:

EN 60068-1:1994, EN 61000-4-2:1995, EN 61000-4-3:1996, EN 61000-4-4:1995, EN 61000-4-5:1995, EN 61000-4-6:1996, EN 61000-4-11:1994.

This standard applies to the components of the following alarm systems, intended for use in and around buildings in residential, commercial, light industrial and industrial environments:

• intruder alarm systems
• hold-up alarm systems
• fire detection and fire alarm systems
• social alarm systems
• CCTV systems, for security applications
• access control systems, for security applications
• alarm transmission system.

The tests and severities to be used are the same for indoor and outdoor applications of fixed, movable and portable equipment.
