IEC EN 60849 Standard Test Method for Emergency Sound Systems

This International standard applies to public address and public address systems used to provide prompt and disciplined alerting of occupants of an indoor or outdoor area in the event of an emergency.

The purpose of this standard is to specify performance requirements for sound systems intended primarily to broadcast information for the protection of life in one or more specific areas in an emergency. The standard gives the required specifications and test methods for the system's features.

An emergency sound system should allow the broadcasting of clear information on measures to protect life in one or more designated areas.

The person or organization controlling the facilities should designate a responsible person, identified by name or profession, who should be responsible for ensuring that careful maintenance and repairs are carried out so that the system continues to operate as intended.

The person or entity in control of the facilities will appoint a "responsible person" identified by name or job title, who will be responsible for ensuring that the system is properly maintained and repaired so that it continues to operate as specified.

The mechanical structure of the system must be such that explosions or internal explosions that may occur under the influence of internally generated heat do not cause injury to persons. If any part of the system is installed in hazardous areas or explosive atmospheres, the relevant safety requirements of IEC 60079 must be met.
