EN 50130-4 Alarm Systems - Electromagnetic Compatibility Test

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN 50130-4 testing. This EMC product family standard for immunity requirements applies to the following components of alarm systems intended for use in and around buildings in residential, commercial, light industrial and industrial environments:

EN 50130-4 Alarm Systems - Electromagnetic Compatibility Test

  • Access control systems for security applications;
  • alarm transmission systems;
  • CCTV systems for security applications;
  • Fire detection and fire alarm systems;
  • Hold alarm systems;
  • burglar alarm systems;
  • Social alarm systems.

The tests and intensities to be used are the same for indoor and outdoor applications of fixed, mobile and portable equipment. Levels do not cover extreme situations that can occur anywhere. Equipment covered by this standard must be designed to operate satisfactorily in the environmental electromagnetic conditions of residential, commercial, light industrial and industrial environments.

In particular, this means that it must be able to operate correctly within the conditions determined by the electromagnetic compatibility levels for various disturbances in the low voltage public supply system, as defined in EN 61000-2-2. Immunity tests in this standard concern only the most critical.

For equipment that uses a radio signal, a network signal, or has connections to the public telephone system, additional requirements from other standards specific to that signaling environment may apply. This standard does not specify essential safety requirements such as protection against electric shocks. This standard does not cover EMC emission requirements. These are covered by other appropriate standards.

The tests must be performed as single tests and the equipment must meet the eligibility criteria for each test. If multiple tests are performed on a single sample of equipment, the test sequence is optional, allowing interim functional tests to be replaced with a scaled-down version of the functional test and finally a full functional test. However, in this case, in the event of a failure, it may not be possible to determine which test exposure caused the failure.

Given the electrical characteristics and use of a particular equipment, some tests may be determined to be unsuitable and therefore unnecessary. In such a case, the decision not to carry out the test should be recorded in the minutes together with the reason for this decision.
