EN 50518-1:2013 includes the following significant technical changes with respect to EN 50518-1:2010. There was no mandatory connection for certification between the three parts
6、 of the standard with the result that it could be possible to certify only against one or two of the three parts of the standard, which is clearly not the purpose of the WG. This is solved by adding a sentence “This part of EN 50518 is to be read in conjunction with Part 2 and Part 3, and cannot be
7、used separately.” to the foreword. The scope is limited to intruder and hold-up alarm systems. The resistance class was changed from RC4 to RC3. All normative references are updated. The requirements of the generator and standby generator are changed (7.2 and 7.2.3). It is not mandatory to install g
8、enerators within the shell. EN 50518 consists of the following parts under the generic title “Monitoring and alarm receiving centre”: Part 1: Location and construction requirements; Part 2: Technical requirements; Part 3: Procedures and requirements for operation.
