scope:

This Standard specifies the requirements, performance criteria and testing procedures for control and 168 indicating equipment (CIE) intended for use in intrusion and hold-up alarm systems (I&HAS) installed 169 in buildings. This document also applies to CIE to be used in IAS or HAS. 170 The CIE may incorporate processing functions of other I&HAS components, or its processing 171 requirements may be distributed among such components. 172 This Standard specifies the requirements for CIE installed in buildings using specific or non-specific 173 wired interconnections or wire-free interconnections. These requirements also apply to ACE that are 174 installed inside or outside of the supervised premises and mounted in indoor or outdoor environments. 175 Where CIE shares means of detection, interconnection, control, communication, processing and / or 176 power supplies with other applications, these requirements apply to I&HAS functions only.
