This document (EN 50134-5:2021) has been prepared by CLC/TC 79, “Alarm systems”.
The following dates are fixed:
• latest date by which this document has to be (dop) 2022-06-07
implemented at national level by publication of
an identical national standard or by
endorsement
• latest date by which the national standards (dow) 2024-06-07
conflicting with this document have to be
withdrawn
This document supersedes EN 50134-5:2004 and all of its amendments and corrigenda (if any).
— The minimum performance parameters for the interconnection including availability, monitoring, security,
transmission time are now determined by updated reference to EN 50136-1:2012 .
— Requirements for microphone and speaker performance to deliver two-way speech have been removed
and are now determined with EN 50134-3:2012.
— Requirements for the alarm transmission system have been updated to take account of the general
migration of voice traffic to packet-based IP infrastructures by telecommunications providers.
— The minimum technical performance requirements of the alarm transmission system are now prescribed
by updated reference to EN 50136-1:2012 .
— The requirements for an ATS used within social alarm systems are set out as custom categories utilizing
performance metrics drawn from more than one standardized ATS configuration class described with
EN 50136-1:2012 .
— Performance parameters are now prescribed for both sessional connected, switched paths or packed
switched networks.
— Different technical performance requirements for the alarm transmission system now included for a
controller designed for use with one local unit or multiple local units.
— Requirements have been added where digital to analogue or analogue to digital signal conversion is
utilized.
— Requirements have been added where a digital to analogue conversion unit undertakes translation
between an analogue signalling protocol and a digital signalling protocol.
— Account has been taken of the increasing use of logical alarm triggering where data from several sources
are combined to determine whether a specified alarm triggering condition has been met. Minimum
requirements are now included logical alarm triggering from any of the following: trigger device, local unit
and controller, device provisioning and management platform and the alarm management system.
— Security requirements including design considerations, use of cryptographic algorithms and security
protocols now included to protect components of a social alarm system from malicious attacks,
inadvertent influences and to ensure privacy and integrity of the transmitted information.

Introduction
A social alarm system provides 24 h facilities for alarm triggering, identification, signal transmission, alarm
reception, logging and 2-way speech communication, to provide reassurance and assistance for people
considered to be at risk.
The social alarm system provides streaming media between the local unit, the controller and the alarm
receiving centre. As a minimum it is in the form of voice communication but in addition it may include, status
data, video and voice or other continuous streaming data. Alarm, fault, and status messages may be received
and processed at a single, multiple or different ARC’s.
The social alarm system can include one or many trigger devices connected to the local unit and/or controller
via interconnections,
