This European Standard specifies the requirements for the performance, reliability and security characteristics of alarm transmission systems.

It specifies the requirements for alarm transmission systems providing alarm transmission between an alarm system at a supervised premises and annunciation equipment at an alarm receiving centre.

This European Standard applies to transmission systems for all types of alarm messages such as fire, intrusion, access control, social alarm, etc. Different types of alarm systems may in addition to alarm messages also send other types of messages, e.g. fault messages and status messages. These messages are also considered to be alarm messages in the context of this standard. The term alarm is used in this broad sense throughout the document.

Additional alarm transmission requirements of specific types of alarm systems are given in the relevant European Standards.

2. Normative references

The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

3. Object

The object of this European Standard is to specify the general requirements for the performance, reliability, resilience and security of alarm transmission systems and to ensure their suitability for use with different types of alarm systems and annunciation equipment.

An alarm transmission system may use any type of transmission network.

When the ATS functions are integrated into an alarm system or annunciation equipment the requirements of this standard shall apply.

The intended users of this European Standard include alarm transmission service providers, alarm receiving centre operators, fire departments, insurance companies, telecommunication network operators, internet service providers, equipment manufacturers, alarm companies, end users and others.

5. General requirements

   1. ATS configuration

The logical configuration of an ATS shall be as shown in Figure 1. The main function of an ATS is to provide a reliable and secure transmission network from the interface of the AS to the SPT to the interface of the RCT to the AE for the transmission of alarms.

Depending upon the required reliability and resilience of the ATS and the operational features of the ARC, various ATS configurations may be used, including the use of more than one ATP between an AS and one or more RCTs connected to one or more AEs. Each ATP shall have its own transmission network interface at the SPT.

NOTE For example an SPT may use a fixed line network and a radio network.

Selection of the category of ATS used for an AS shall be determined by the required reliability and security for the associated application. Reference should be made to the category of ATS required and the options that may be selected.
