7 Environmental and EMC (immunity) requirements
Each component of an electronic access control system is expected to operate correctly in its service environment and to continue to do so for a reasonable time. Access control system equipment is however installed in many very different environments and it would be impractical to test every aspect of the most extreme conceivable environmental conditions and immunity to electromagnetic effects.
The tests and severities identified by this standard are therefore intended to provide a practical series of tests to determine the ability of the equipment to withstand the failure mechanisms most likely to be produced by the environment, in which that type of equipment can be expected to be installed, i.e. the normal service environment.
The applicable environmental conditioning specified in Table 9 shall be conducted in accordance with the methods described in IEC 62599-1.
The applicable electromagnetic compatibility conditioning specified in Table 9 shall be conducted in accordance with the methods described in IEC 62599-2.

Test methods
General conditions
Atmospheric conditions for tests
Unless otherwise stated in a test procedure, the testing shall be carried out after the test specimen has been allowed to stabilize in the standard atmospheric conditions for testing as described in IEC 60068-1 as follows:
temperature: (15 to 35) °С;
relative humidity: (25 to 75) %;
air pressure: (86 to 106) kPa.
If variations in these parameters have a significant effect on a measurement, then such variations should be kept to a minimum during a series of measurements carried out as part of one test on one specimen.
Operating conditions for tests
If a test method requires a specimen to be operational, then the specimen shall be connected to power supply equipment set within the manufacturer’s specified voltage range(s) and shall remain substantially constant throughout the tests. If a test procedure requires a specimen to be monitored to detect any alert signals, then connections shall be made to any necessary ancillary devices to allow the signal to be recognized.
All input signals/messages shall be correctly terminated according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Outputs shall be connected to loads representative of maximum conditions within the manufacturer's specification.
All transmission paths shall be connected to compatible equipment. All output circuits shall be connected to maximum loads, all within the manufacturer’s specification.
Specimen configuration
The specimen configuration shall include at least one of each type of compatible/supported access point user interfaces, access point actuators or equivalent indicators (with equivalent loads), monitoring console application or equivalent (if provided), configured by the manufacturer to provide the grade dependent operation as defined in Table 2 through Table 8.Any additional equipment necessary to carry out the tests (for example: means to monitor the status of outputs and means to activate inputs) shall be supplied by the manufacturer by agreement with the test house.
The specimens submitted shall be representative of the manufacturer’s normal production with regard to their construction and configuration settings and shall include the claimed options.
Mounting arrangements
The specimen shall be mounted by its normal means of attachment in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. If these instructions describe more than one method of mounting then the method considered to be the least favourable shall be chosen for each test.
Tolerances
Unless otherwise stated, the tolerances for the environmental test parameters shall be as given in the basic reference standards for the test (e.g. the relevant part of IEC 60068). If a specific tolerance or deviation limit is not specified in a requirement or test procedure, then a deviation limit of ± 5 % shall be applied.
Provisions for tests
At least one access control system shall be provided for testing compliance with this part of IEC 60839. The specimens submitted shall be representative of the manufacturer’s normal production with regard to their construction and settings and shall include the claimed options.
The requirements listed in 6.2 to 6.9 shall be tested using the access control system/ components connected in accordance with the example system defined in Figure 3 (or part of it as deemed applicable) and having the functions configured by the manufacturer to provide the grade dependent operation as defined in Table 2 to Table 8.
Where individual components are assessed to this standard, e.g. a reader, the tests shall be performed with that component connected to an access control system configured at a minimum to support the operation of that component. Alternatively, it is permitted to test individual components by simulating the functions of an access control system provided there is agreement between the applicant and the test authority that the method of simulation is appropriate to verify applicable functionality for the respective component.
Components of EACS carrying several functionalities described in Clause 6 shall be assessed by selecting the relevant tests described in Clause 8 for the appropriate grade. It is the responsibility of the test house to make this selection in accordance with the functionalities and grade rating claimed by the manufacturer.
Optional functions
This part of IEC 60839 specifies mandatory and optional functionalities. An access control unit or component of an access control system complying with this part of IEC 60839will need to fulfil the requirements of all of the mandatory functions.
If a function is provided that is optional for a particular grade and a claim of compliance is made, it shall meet the applicable requirements for the grade for which compliance is claimed and it shall be tested.
Functionalities additional to the mandatory ones specified in this standard may be included in the electronic access control system providing they do not prevent the correct operation of the mandatory functionalities.
Figure 3 - Example of system test configurationReduced functional test
For specified tests, (for example: environmental tests, EMC tests), it may not be possible or desirable to carry out a full functional test. In these cases a reduced functional test shall be carried out in accordance with the procedure below
Present valid credentials to an access point to create an access granted condition and simulate the portal being opened and closed.
Record the response of the annunciation outputs at the access point and confirm the functionality is as per Table 3, line 1.
Confirm by inspection that an indication of access point locked status is displayed until an access is granted and functionality is as per Table 3, line 3.
Present invalid credentials to an access point to create an access denied condition and record the response of the annunciation outputs and check that the cause of access denial is placed in the event log.
Confirm the functionality is as per Table 3, lines 2, 17 and 18.
Present valid credentials to an access point to create an access granted condition and simulate the portal being opened. Keep the portal open until after the allowed open expiry time and confirm an alert is generated.
Confirm the functionality is as per Table 3, lines 4 and 32.
Close the portal and confirm the functionality is as per Table 3, lines 4 and 26.
