8.6 Notification

Correct the 2nd paragraph to read:

The duration of the operational period of a WD may be subject to variation depending on local or national requirements.

In the 4th paragraph replace ‘EN 50136’ by ‘EN 50136-1-T.

In the last paragraph before Table 10, replace ‘operation’ by ‘functioning’.

Add the following notes after NOTE 2:

NOTE 3 Where 2 ATS are specified it is recommended that the transmission paths are independent and use differing technologies, typically land-line and wireless.

NOTE 4 An SPT may be part of more than one ATS.

NOTE 5 The main and additional ATS shall meet their defined performance criteria when working normally. It is not a requirement of this standard for the performance of the additional ATS to change due to the failure of the main ATS.

After Table 10

In the 1st paragraph after Table 10, replace ‘EN 50136’ by ‘EN 50136-1-T.

Replace the existing note by the following:

NOTE 1 Annex В includes an extract of performance requirements specified in EN 50136-1-1.

c In grade 3, when an l&HAS includes protection against the substitution of signals or messages, junction boxes need not be provided with tamper detection.

Interpretation 2

EN 50131-1:2006

English version

Foreword

This interpretation of the European Standard EN 50131-1:2006 was prepared by the Technical Committee CENELEC TC 79, Alarm systems. The text of the draft was submitted to the Unique Acceptance Procedure and was approved by CENELEC on 2010-07-09.

This document supersedes EN 50131-1:2006/IS1:2009.

Compared to EN 50131-1:2006/IS1:2009 the only change is the replacement of the 2nd paragraph of 8.5.4 by a new one for clarification’s sake.

EN 50131-1:2006, Alarm systems - Intrusion and hold-up systems - Part 1: System requirements, includes many requirements that may not match traditional intrusion systems in some countries. Additionally, standards are written in a style which can make them difficult to understand unless some explanation is given. This interpretation is intended to provide extra information to readers of the standard to assist in its understanding. It should be read in conjunction with the standard.

This interpretation varies in the depth of detail provided. More detail is given for areas that prompted significant questions during the development of EN 50131-1:2006.

This interpretation may also assist translators by clarifying the meaning of the standard.

This interpretation is informative and the standard shall be used to resolve any disputes.
