EN 50131European Standards Series for Intruder Alarm SystemsThe standard to which the Intruder Alarm industry currently installs is BS 4737 or 7042 for high security and BS 6799 for wireless systems. These standards are to be replaced with a European Standard, EN50131 series. The standards were implemented on European Standards have been under development for some time and work on these standards continues. However, there is a suite of European Standards available to which companies can survey, install and maintain. The European Standards currently have a document called PD 6662. This is a Published Document and is used to call up parts of the current British Standards, where European Standards are not yet available. European Standards have been accepted by the Insurance industry and the Association of British Insurers (ABI) would now like installing companies to apply them. The ABI consider that because European Standards are “risk-based”, they form a better structure for the technical design of security systems.
