BS EN 63044‑1 is the first part of an international multi-series standard that covers general requirements for Home and Building Electronic Systems (HBES) and Building Automation and Control Systems (BACS).
BS EN 63044‑1 applies to all Home and Building Electronic Systems (HBES) and Building Automation and Control Systems (BACS) and specifies the general requirements for these systems and products.
BS EN 63044‑1 is applicable to operator stations and other human–system interface devices, devices for management functions, control devices, automation stations and application-specific controllers, field devices and their interfaces, and cabling and interconnection of devices used within a dedicated HBES/BACS network.
BS EN 63044‑1 on general requirements of HBES and BACS is useful for:
The entire HBES/BACS, media, and devices as well as their installation, require ensuring safe operation by protection against mechanical, chemical, environmental, and other hazards.
BS EN 63044‑1 gives you a framework for the general requirements for devices of an HBES/BACS that comply with the international standard in consideration of the required overvoltage category. It provides you with a standardized structure and design which helps you with the manufacturing and construction of HBES/BACS devices.
BS EN 63044‑1 provides an overview to its users, that enables the integration of a wide spectrum of applications, that helps you in electrical safety, functional safety, environmental conditions, EMC requirements, and installation and cabling rules and topologies of an HBES/BACS system.
BS EN IEC 63044‑1:2017 supersedes BS EN 50491-1:2014, which is withdrawn.
