FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their
preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent
rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
IEC 60839-11-33 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 79: Alarm and electronic
security systems. It is an International Standard.

INTRODUCTION
This document makes it possible to build an alarm and electronic security system with clients,
typically a monitoring console, and devices, typically an access control unit, from different
manufacturers using common and well defined interfaces.
The document specifies only the data and control flow between a client and the services without
reference to any physical device as the services required to implement a compliant electronic
access control system (EACS) are not necessarily implemented on a single device, i.e. all
services can be run on a control panel, event aggregator software on PC, etc.
This document does not define internal communication between an access control unit and its
components if they are implemented on a single device.
This document is based upon work done by the ONVIF open industry forum. The ONVIF
Credential specification, ONVIF Access Rules specification, ONVIF Authentication Behaviour
specification and ONVIF Schedule specification are compatible with this document.
This document is accompanied by a set of computer readable interface definitions (see
Annex A):
• credential service WSDL, see Clause A.1;
• access rules service WSDL, see Clause A.2;
• authentication behaviour service WSDL, see Clause A.3;
• schedule service WSDL, see Clause A.4.
Due to the differences in terminology used in IEC 60839-11-1:2013 and IEC 60839-11-2:2014
and the ONVIF specification that this part of IEC 60839 is based on, a reader should take
special notice of the terms and definitions clause.
Additional services needed for monitoring of doors and access points (portal sides) are outside
the scope of this document. These services are covered by IEC 60839-11-32.

ALARM AND ELECTRONIC SECURITY SYSTEMS –

Part 11-33: Electronic access control systems –
Access control configuration based on Web services

1 Scope
This part of IEC 60839 defines the Web services interface for electronic access control systems.
This includes listing electronic access control system components, their logical composition,
monitoring their states and controlling them. It also includes a mapping of mandatory and
optional requirements in accordance with IEC 60839-11-1:2013, as covered by Annex B.
This document applies to physical security only. Physical security prevents unauthorized
personnel, attackers or accidental intruders from physically accessing a building, room, etc.
Web services usage and device management functionality are outside the scope of this
document. Refer to IEC 60839-11-31:2016 for more information.
This document does not in any way limit a manufacturer to add other protocols or extend the
protocol defined here. For rules on how to accomplish this, refer to IEC 60839-11-31:2016.

The following documents are referred to in the text in such a way that some or all of their content
constitutes requirements of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies.
