Overview
EN 50131-1:2006/A2:2017 (CENELEC amendment A2, published May 2017) defines system-level requirements for intrusion and hold-up alarm systems (I&HAS). The amendment harmonises system requirements with component-level standards published since the original EN 50131-1:2006, updates definitions and security grading rules, and clarifies alarm transmission, detection, indication and documentation requirements for compliant alarm systems.
Key Topics and technical requirements
- Security grading - Clarifies grade-related behaviour and fault recognition; introduces specific handling of alarm transmission path (ATP) faults and their recognition.
- Definitions & terminology - Adds and updates key terms (e.g., alarm transmission path (ATP), annunciation equipment (AE), logical key) to align system and component standards.
- Masking and detector immunity - For Grades 3 & 4, detectors that can be masked (movement, shock, glass-break, etc.) must either be immune to masking or provide masking detection.
- Access levels & authorisation - Strengthens multi-level access controls (levels 1–4); access level 4 requires permitting by level 2 and authorisation by level 3; remote access permitted when equivalent authorisation is used.
- Prevention and overriding of setting - Specifies conditions that must prevent system setting (including ATP faults) and defines permitted override access levels.
- Detection identification & indication - Systems must enable identification of which detector caused an intrusion alarm; detectors without processing may share a common indication (maximum of 10 per common indicator).
- Notification and alarm transmission (ATS) - Defines use of Alarm Transmission Systems (ATS) to notify Alarm Receiving Centres (ARCs) and on-site Warning Devices (WD). Notable provisions:
- WD delay: When both ATS and WD present, WD activation may be delayed up to 10 minutes if ATS notification is confirmed by the ARC.
- WD minimum duration: Audible WDs shall function for a minimum of 90 seconds unless local rules require otherwise.
- Prime power faults: Notification of prime power source faults may be delayed up to 1 hour.
- Tamper protection, interconnection monitoring, event recording, functional reliability, environmental, electrical safety, documentation and marking - Amendment clarifies tables and requirements across these areas.
Applications and who uses this standard
- Manufacturers of intrusion detectors, control panels, power supplies and ATS equipment to ensure system compatibility and compliance.
- System designers and integrators specifying grade-appropriate architectures and access controls.
- Installers and commissioning engineers applying prevention-of-setting rules, indication mapping and ATS configuration.
- Alarm Receiving Centres (ARCs) and security managers for operational requirements and fault handling.
- Certification bodies and regulators assessing conformity to European system requirements.
Related standards
- EN 50136-1 (Alarm transmission systems)
- EN 50131-6 (Power supplies for I&HAS)
- EN 50130-5 (Environmental test methods)
- EN 50131-3 (detector types and ACE guidance referenced)
EN 50131-1:2006/A2:2017 is essential for anyone specifying, building or certifying compliant intrusion and hold-up alarm systems in CENELEC member countries.

3 Definitions and abbreviations
3.1 Definitions
Replace definition 3.1.42 by the following:
3.1.42
masked
condition whereby a detector cannot function as intended as a result of its means of detection being
compromised
EXAMPLE The field of view of a movement detector is obscured.
Note 1 to entry: For the purpose of this standard the terms “masked” and “masking” are considered interchangeable.
Replace definition 3.1.46 by the following:
physical interconnection conveying information pertaining to an I&HAS and one or more other applications
Add the following notes in definition 3.1.55:
Note 1 to entry: The prime power source may be internal to the I&HAS and have finite capacity (e.g. Type C PS).
Note 2 to entry: EN 50131-6 uses the term External Power Source to describe the input to a power supply.
In definition 3.1.61, replace "(see CLC/TS 50131-7, F.5)" with "(see CLC/TS 50131-7:2010, G.5)".
Replace definition 3.1.63 by:
specific wired interconnection
physical interconnection conveying information pertaining to only one I&HAS
Replace definition 3.1.69 by:
supervised premises transceiver
alarm transmission equipment at the supervised premises, including the interface to the I&HAS
Replace definition 3.1.77 by the following:
3.1.77
alarm transmission path
route an ATS alarm message travels between an individual I&HAS and the annunciation equipment at its
associated ARC
Note 1 to entry: The ATP starts at the interface between AS and SPT and ends at the interface between RCT and AE.
For notification and surveillance purposes the reverse direction may also be used.
Replace the NOTE in definition 3.1.84 by:
Note 1 to entry: Although a zone could contain just one detector, the term “zone” is not synonymous with one detector
input. A zone is any defined part of the I&HAS. It may include any number of detectors. Examples of zones include: a
storey of a building; the perimeter of a building; an outbuilding.
Add the following terms and definitions (in alphabetical order when inserted into standard):
3.1.85
alarm transmission system fault
fault that occurs when all ATPs are not available
3.1.86

access to restricted functions or parts of a I&HAS
3.1.88
ancillary control equipment – Type A
ancillary control equipment where access to internal elements resulting from damage to the housing could not
enable the status of any part of the I&HAS to be changed or prevent the initiation of mandatory notification
EXAMPLE Potted device.
