Bosch Security Systems has announced that all of its intrusion products now conform with the new European standard EN 50130-4:2011, two years before it becomes mandatory.
EN 50130-4:2011 is the ‘eletromagnetic compatibility” (EMC) standard hat applies to alarm systems intended for use in and around buildings in commercial, residential and industrial environments.
EMC means that the products will continue to operate correctly in the presence of electromagnetic interference (EMI).
The range of radiated field frequencies that a device must now be immune to in order to be certified under this standard has been extended.
The previous generation of the standard required immunity from frequencies in the range of 80MHz to 2.0 GHz. This has been increased to cover frequencies up to 2.7 GHz.
The standard is designed to counter the increase in electromagnetic interference in buildings caused by devices that operate in this new, higher frequency band, such as wifi and mobile phones.
Manufacturers of intrusion products in Europe have until summer 2014 to ensure their products are compliant with the standard.
