This Standard specifies the requirements and tests for manually-activated trigger devices forming part
of a social alarm system.


This standard only applies to manually-activated trigger devices that transmit the alarm triggering
signal to a local unit or controller via cable or wire-free radio transmission, i.e.


a) Push button fixed;

b) Pull switch fixed;

c) Push button portable;

d) Pull activated portable.


This standard also gives guidance on automatically-activated trigger devices. For the requirements and tests applicable to such trigger devices, references are made to appropriate CEN/CENELEC standards for fire alarm, gas alarm and intruder alarm system components.


This standard does not specify EMC emission or electrical safety requirements. These are covered by other standards.
