Introduction
This Technical Specification describes the general requirements and configuration types for combined
and integrated alarm systems which shall apply when one or more of the applications being integrated is
an alarm application.
The prime considerations of this Technical Specification are to ensure that the individual standards are
applied when they form a part of an integrated system solution with each other or with other (specified or
unspecified) applications.
This document provides additional information relating to initial system design, planning, installation,
commissioning, operation and maintenance for such combined and integrated alarm systems.
1 Scope
This Technical Specification specifies the requirements for alarm systems combined and integrated with
other systems which may or may not be alarm systems.
This Technical Specification defines requirements, related to the rules of integration, in order to
complement the individual alarm application standards and to provide clarification where there is conflict.
Alarm transmission systems are excluded from the scope of this Technical Specification.

3 Definitions
For the purposes of this Technical Specification, the following definitions apply:
3.1
additional facility
facility which is not described in an application standard and not necessary to fulfil the functions required
of that application standard
NOTE 1  An additional facility may be shared by two or more applications. In this case this facility may be an additional facility for
one application but standard-required for another application.
NOTE 2  For an application where no standard exists, any facility of this application is considered as additional.
3.2
alarm
a warning of the presence of a hazard to life, property or the environment

– 5 - CLC/TS 50398:2002
3.3
alarm application
an application intended for the protection of life, property or the environment, such as:
– intrusion and hold-up alarm;
– social alarm;
– closed circuit television used for security and surveillance;
– access control;
– fire detection and fire alarm.
NOTE  This list is to be extended, following the scope of CLC/TC 79 and CEN/TC 72.
3.4
alarm receiving centre
a continuously manned centre to which information concerning the status of one or more alarm systems
is reported
3.5
alarm company
an organization which provides services for alarm systems
3.6
alarm condition
a condition of an alarm system, or part thereof, which results from the response of the system to the
presence of a hazard
3.7
alarm system
an electrical installation which responds to the manual or automatic detection of the presence of a hazard
3.8
alarm transmission equipment
equipment which is used primarily for the transmission of alarms from the alarm system interface at the
supervised premises to the annunciation equipment interface at the alarm receiving centre. It may also
transmit information or commands from the alarm receiving centre to one or more alarm systems
NOTE  This does not include equipment provided by a PTT or other general telecommunications equipment (for example modems)
where these are used primarily for alarm transmission.
3.9
alarm transmission system
equipment and network used to transfer information concerned with the state of one or more alarm
systems to one or more alarm receiving centres
3.10
application
all related facilities used for a specific purpose, such as the detection and warning in the event of fire,
lighting control etc.
3.11
application standard
standard related to a specific application (such as referred in A.8)
3.12
central control facility – CCF
equipment used for control and/or indicating purposes in type 1 configuration, which is connected to one
or more dedicated systems and which is normally manned by operating personnel, for example a
computer at a supervised location. The CCF is an additional facility (and not the standard-required control
and indicating equipment) for at least one of the applications

3.13
combined and integrated alarm system
in this document, the wording 'combined and integrated alarm system' is synonymous with 'integrated
alarm system', which will mostly be used in the document
3.14
common device
a device which is shared by two or more applications
3.15
common facility
facility which is shared by two or more applications
NOTE  A common facility may be additional for two or more applications, it may be standard-required for two or more applications
or it may be additional for one or more applications and standard-required for other applications.
3.16
common transmission path
a transmission path used by several applications
3.17
dedicated device
a device used solely by one application
3.18
dedicated system
a system used for only one application type and fulfilling all the requirements applicable to that application
3.19
dedicated transmission path
a transmission path used solely within one application
3.20
facility
hardware or software which enable a system to fulfil one or more functions, for example a transmission
path, a processing element, displays
3.21
fault condition
a condition of a system which prevents a system or part thereof from functioning normally
3.22
