BS EN 50130-5 is a European standard that discusses the environmental test methods for alarm systems. Security alarms used in residential, commercial, industrial, and military properties protect against burglary (theft) or property damage, as well as personal protection against intruders.
BS EN 50130-5 specifies environmental test methods to be used for testing the system components of the following alarm systems, intended for use in and around buildings:
BS EN 50130-5 specifies three equipment classes (fixed, movable & portable equipment) and four environmental classes.
Note: BS EN 50130-5 does not specify:
BS EN 50130-5 on alarm systems for environmental test methods applies to:
Home protection and family safety are the primary purposes of a home security system. While this includes detecting burglary, a security system also detects several other threats, including smoke, fire, carbon monoxide poisoning, and water damage.
BS EN 50130-5 specifies to you the tests and severities which is to be used for each of the following environmental classes:
BS EN 50130-5 provides you with guidance on dry heat operation in which the objective of the test is to demonstrate the ability of the equipment to function correctly at high ambient temperatures, which may occur for short periods in the anticipated service environment. 'Free air' conditions are simulated for heat-dissipating specimens to allow for self-heating effects.
With obedience and compliance to BS EN 50130-5, you can achieve precision in terms of product functionality and ensure that the product consistently meets and exceed quality expectations.
