Introduction
It is the responsibility of each product Technical Committee to consider how the standardisation
work may be done in good harmony with the legislation and in particular with EC directives. This
is particularly the case when mandates have been given by the European Commission.
Therefore CLC/TC 79 had to consider the situation in the field of alarm systems step by step:
- the first step was to identify which directives are applicable to equipment used in alarm
systems;
- among the applicable directives the second step consisted in the identification of those
Essential Requirements (ERs) which apply to equipment used in alarm systems;
- the final question was: Do harmonized standards exist, listed in the Official Journal of the
European Union, which may be used as reference to provide presumption of compliance with
the identified Essential Requirements applicable to equipment used in alarm systems.
If the answer is “yes” the manufacturer is entrusted to refer to these harmonized standards. The
equipment will be tested accordingly. A test report will give the results after testing. This route will
show presumption of conformity.
If the answer is “no” the way to show compliance of conformity is more complicated. In the
absence of a harmonized standard one has to study the directives concerned carefully in order to
find out how compliance with Essential Requirements can be shown.
But in both cases the equipment will bear the CE marking, which would indicate that the
equipment complies with all Essential Requirements of any EC directive which is applicable. In
certain cases testing and certification by an independent third party might be requested.
This CE marking can be considered as a passport allowing the free circulation of products in
the EU.
However, CLC/TC 79 wants to draw the attention of all interested parties and in particular of the
user to the fact that CE marking does not necessarily ensure for example:
– sufficient reliability of the products,
– sufficient functionality concerning the intended use of the products and
– compatibility with other products or systems.
Therefore the existence of harmonized standards seems to be the most efficient way to show
presumption of compliance.
This document is an attempt to answer these questions. It is considered as a guideline of
CLC/TC 79 regarding the references which shall be used during the standardization process.
CLC/TC 79 wished this document to be published as a CENELEC Technical Report in order to
guide all interested bodies, companies and individuals interested in alarm systems on how to use
standards for the implementation of the EC directives.

1 Scope
This Technical Report gives guidance on the use of standards for alarm systems in the frame of
the implementation of the EC directives.
Its purpose is:
– to find, among all EC directives, those directives which are directly covering equipment used in
alarm systems;
– to identify the Essential Requirements (ERs) of the above EC directives which have to be
taken into account during the standardization process and which should be known by bodies
interested with equipment used in alarm systems;
– to register the standards that CLC/TC 79 recommends to use for showing presumption of
conformity according to the EC directives and the ERs previously identified.
This Technical Report mainly covers equipment used in the following fields of activities: access
control, alarm transmission, CCTV, fire detection and fire alarm, intrusion and hold-up, social
alarm.
