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. In this document, the wording 'combined and integrated alarm system' is
synonymous with 'integrated alarm system', which will mostly be used in the document.
The prime considerations of this Technical Specification are to ensure that the individual alarm
standards, requirements or guidelines 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.

- 5 - CLC/TS 50398:2009
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 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 document, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
additional facility
facility which is not standard-required by any of the applications of the integrated alarm system
3.2
alarm
warning of the presence of a hazard to life, property or the environment
3.3
alarm application
application intended for the protection of life, property or the environment, such as
– intrusion and hold-up alarm system,
– social alarm system,
– lift alarm system
– environmental alarm system,
– closed circuit television used for security and surveillance,
– access control system,
– fire detection, fire alarm and fire protection systems
NOTE 1  This list may be extended, to follow the scope of CLC/TC 79 and CEN/TC 72.
NOTE 2  Examples of an environmental alarm may include a warning of toxic effluent leaking or a storage tank about to
overflow.
3.4
alarm receiving centre
continuously manned centre to which information concerning the status of one or more alarm systems
is reported
3.5
alarm company
organization which provides services for alarm systems
3.6
alarm condition
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
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 (Public and Private Telephone Transmission) 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
NOTE  Such as the detection and warning in the event of fire, lighting control, etc.
3.11
application standard
standard relevant to a specific application
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
NOTE  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
command signal
instruction or command that affects one or more systems
3.14
common device
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.

- 7 - CLC/TS 50398:2009
3.16
common transmission path
transmission path used by two or more applications
3.17
dedicated device
device used by a single application
3.18
dedicated system
system used for a single application
3.19
dedicated transmission path
transmission path used solely within one application
3.20
facility
hardware or software which enable a system to fulfil one or more functions
NOTE  For example a transmission path, a processing element, displays.
3.21
fault condition
condition of a system which prevents a system or part thereof from functioning as designed
3.22
fault signal
message generated due to the presence of a fault condition
3.23
integrated alarm system
system having one or more common facilities with at least one being an alarm application
NOTE 1  The alarm transmission system is not considered as a part of an integrated alarm system.
NOTE 2  Dedicated systems only connected via a unidirectional output device without any data communications, for example
relay, are not considered as being part of integrated alarm systems.
3.24
integrity
ability of an application to function as designed including the measure of immunity from influences
which could affect correct operation
3.25
log book
record book or its electronic equivalent into which all relevant details of the system, its performance
and its maintenance can be entered in a relatively secure manner for later retrieval by authorised
organizations
3.26
non-alarm application
application intended to provide control and not intended primarily for the protection of life, property or
the environment
NOTE  For example: heating and ventilating; energy management; building management; lighting.
3.27
processing element
facility to perform mathematical or logical operations on data according to programmed instructions in
order to obtain the required functions
