FOREWORD
1)
The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of the IEC is to promote
international cooperation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, the IEC publishes International Standards. Their preparation is
entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may
participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. The IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization
for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two
organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of the IEC on technical matters, express as nearly as possible an
international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation
from all interested National Committees.
3)
The documents produced have the form of recommendations for international use and are published in the form
of standards, technical repo rts or guides and they are accepted by the National Committees in that sense.
4) In order to promote international unification, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC International
Standards transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional standards. Any
divergence between the IEC Standard and the corresponding national or regional standard shall be clearly
indicated in the latter.
5)
The IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with one of its standards.
6) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject
of patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 839-10-1 has been prepared by the Joint Working Group IEC/TC 79:
Alarm systems, and ISO/TC 22: Road vehicles.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
IEC 79/137/FDIS
79/139/RVD
ISO ISO/DIS 12016
Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the repo on
rt
voting indicated in the above table.
Annex A is for information only.

INTRODUCTION
Due to the coordination problems regarding alarm systems for road vehicles, a decision was made to
develop a joint IEC/ISO standard.
Space protection systems, which are optional, need to be tested individually, and in consequence are
not required to be tested in this standard, other than by testing the actual detectors against their own
specifications. Therefore, examples of testing of installed systems are given in an informative annex.
Any revision of this standard is submitted to the common agreement of IEC/TC 79 and ISO/TC 22.

Section 1: Passenger cars
1 Scope
This section of IEC 839-10 specifies requirements and test methods for vehicle security alarm systems
(VSAS) intended for installation within vehicles used for the carriage of passengers and having not
more than eight seats in addition to the driver's seat.
The object of the standard is to ensure a high standard of safety, performance and reliability of the
VSAS and the reduction of false alarms.
The standard covers VSAS designed to detect and signal the unauthorized opening of any of the
vehicle doors, boot/luggage compartment, bonnet/engine hood and, in addition, to immobilize the
vehicle when set.
The standard covers VSAS intended both for installation as original equipment and for installation after
delivery of the vehicle.

SIST IEC 60839-10-1:1999
839-10-1 ©IEC: 1995 –15 –
The VSAS may include other facilities but all facilities shall comply with this standard.
NOTE — The block diagram shown in figure 1 illustrates the connections between the components which shall (solid lines)
or may (dotted lines) be present in the system.
4.2
System design
4.2.1 General
The VSAS in the set condition shall detect and signal the opening of any of the vehicle doors,
boot/luggage compartment, bonnet/engine hood and inhibit the movement of the vehicle under its own
power if this has not already been achieved by an independent immobilizing system.
All the components of the VSAS shall be compatible with each other and, when installed, shall not
affect the performance of the vehicle in the unset condition.
The VSAS shall not, whether set or unset, inadvertently change its state nor cause any warning device
to operate or cease operation.
In the event of power interruption, the VSAS shall not change state on resumption of power.
The failure of any optical devices shall not affect the correct operation of the other pa rts of the VSAS.
The VSAS, its components and the parts controlled by them shall be designed, built and installed in
such a way as to minimize the possibility of false alarms.
NOTE — All VSAS shall be protected against easy and rapid access or tampering by an unauthorized person.
4.2.2 Detection
The VSAS shall provide perimeter protection, that is:
- opening of the vehicle doors;
- opening of the boot/luggage compartment;
- opening of the bonnet/engine hood.
The VSAS may include additional sensors to detect other interference with the vehicle or intrusion into
the vehicle. The operation of such additional sensors may be disabled intentionally by the user.
However this disablement shall only be effective for one setting period of the VSAS.
The VSAS may include a deliberately operated device (panic alarm) which may be activated from
within the vehicle. This device shall operate the acoustic warning device whether the system is set or
unset, but it shall not affect the starting and/or the running of the vehicle.

---------------------- Page: 10 ----------------------

SIST IEC 60839-10-1:1999
839-10-1 ©IEC: 1995 –17 –
The device may also operate an optical and/or radio warning signal independent of the state (set or
unset) and/or function of the VSAS. Such an alarm shall be triggered from within the vehicle and shall
not affect the state of the VSAS. It shall also be possible for the vehicle user to cancel this alarm. In the
case of an audible warning signal, its sounding duration per activation shall not be restricted. Such a
device shall not immobilize the engine or stop it if it is running.
4.2.3 Control
Control equipment shall provide for the connection of circuits capable of accepting the detection
devices.
When the VSAS is set the control equipment shall monitor the sensor(s)/detector(s) and in the event of
an alarm condition being presented shall provide outputs to the warning devices within 1 s.
Unsetting the VSAS by the normal means shall cancel the alarm condition and the warning signals
within 1 s.
4.2.4 Setting/unseating
The VSAS may include optical indication to provide information on the set/unset status of the VSAS.
The VSAS may include optical and/or acoustic indication to provide information on the change of the
set/unset status of the VSAS.
The acoustic signal for the indication of the change of the set/unset status of the VSAS shall not
exceed 65 dB(A) measured 1 m from the device and the duration of the signal shall not exceed 3 s.
The optical signal for the indication of the change of the set/unset status of the VSAS may also be
produced by the hazard warning lamps, the passenger compartment lamp(s) or the vehicle position
lamps (including all lamps in the same circuit) or any combination of the above.
4.2.4.1 Setting
Setting of the VSAS may be achieved by any suitable means.
The perimeter protection as described in 4.2.2 shall be in the set condition within 10 s after completing
the setting procedure of the VSAS. Optional sensors shall be in the set condition within 60 s after
completing the setting procedure.
4.2.4.2 Unsetting
There shall not be visible indication of any unsetting code on any component of the VSAS.
Unsetting of the VSAS shall be achieved by any one, or a combination of the following.
