Alarm systems - Intrusion and hold-up systems -- Part 2-7-2: Intrusion detectors - Glass break detectors (passive)
This European Standard is for passive surface mounted glass break detectors installed in buildings and provides for security Grades 1 to 4, specific or non-specific wired or wire-free detectors, and uses environmental classes I to IV. This European Standard does not include requirements for passive surface mounted glass break detectors intended for use outdoors. A detector shall fulfil all the requirements of the specified Grade. Functions additional to the mandatory functions specified in this standard may be included in the detector, providing they do not adversely influence the correct operation of the mandatory functions. This European Standard does not apply to system interconnections.

Ta evropski standard se uporablja za pasivne javljalnike loma stekla, nameščene na površino zgradb, določa varnostne razrede od 1 do 4 in lastnosti specifičnih in nespecifičnih kabelskih ali brezžičnih javljalnikov ter uporablja okoljske razrede od I do IV. Ta evropski standard ne vključuje zahtev za pasivne javljalnike loma stekla, nameščene na površino, ki so namenjeni za uporabo na prostem. Javljalnik mora izpolnjevati vse zahteve posameznega razreda. Poleg obveznih funkcij, ki so opredeljene v tem standardu, ima lahko javljalnik tudi dodatne funkcije, pri čemer te ne smejo negativno vplivati na pravilno delovanje obveznih funkcij. Ta evropski standard se ne uporablja za medsebojne povezave sistemov.

Overview
SIST EN 50131-2-7-2:2012/A1:2014 is a European standard published by CLC focusing on alarm systems, specifically intrusion and hold-up systems. This part of the standard outlines the requirements and testing procedures for passive glass break detectors - essential components in modern security and intrusion detection systems. The amendment (A1:2013) refines several technical aspects of the original 2012 edition to enhance detector performance and system reliability.
This standard is critical for manufacturers, installers, and specifiers of intrusion detection devices set up to protect against unauthorized entry, theft, or damage in residential and commercial environments.
Key Topics
- Passive Glass Break Detectors: Defines the performance criteria and environmental resilience required of detectors that identify the breaking of glass through passive methods.
- Event Processing and Grading: Clarifies which events (e.g., intrusion, tamper, masking, no stimulus, self-test, loss of power) must be processed at different system grades (1-4) ensuring the correct operational response level for all intrusion detection applications.
- Detection of Masking: Updates requirements for detectors to resist being masked intentionally, ensuring continued vulnerability detection even when the sensor is deliberately obscured.
- Immunity Requirements: Details modifications to immunity testing against:
- Soft objects (to avoid false alarms when non-threatening items strike the glass)
- Hard objects (to maintain accurate detection capabilities)
- Static and dynamic pressure (resisting environmental or accidental pressure changes)
- Power Supply and Voltage Range: Specifies response protocols for slow input voltage changes, total loss of power supply, and required fault signaling to maintain system integrity.
Applications
- Intrusion Detection Systems: Integral in window and façade protection for homes, offices, banks, and retail spaces where glass is a primary physical barrier.
- Alarm and Hold-up Systems: Used in comprehensive security networks to offer rapid signaling in cases of forced entry or attempted burglary.
- Compliance for Security Installations: Essential for installers and maintenance professionals seeking conformity with European norms, ensuring devices are installed and maintained to recognized security standards.
- Product Development and Testing: Guides manufacturers in developing and testing glass break detectors that meet robust performance and immunity criteria, ensuring market competitiveness and regulatory acceptance.
Related Standards
For comprehensive security and compatibility, SIST EN 50131-2-7-2:2012/A1:2014 interfaces and aligns with related standards, including:
- EN 50131 series: Covers all aspects of intrusion and hold-up systems, from control panels to various sensors and alarm communication.
- EN 50136 series: Addresses alarm transmission systems and communication protocols.
- IEC 62642 series: International equivalents focused on intrusion and hold-up system requirements.
- EN 50130-4: Electromagnetic compatibility for alarm systems.
Adherence to these standards ensures reliable, safe, and legally compliant intrusion detection capabilities for all stakeholders in the alarm and security industry.
