It classifies equipment and systems interconnected by wire and wire-free links. Such
systems consist of detection devices, control equipment, warning and signalling devices,
and the necessary power supply equipment.
This Standard does not cover the transmission of signals from the clients premises to a
remote centre. It does not specify the extent or degree of protection to be provided, nor does
it necessarily cover all the requirements for a particular installation.
NOTES:

AS 2201.5 for alarm transmission systems between clients premises and monitoring centres.
1.2 APPLICATION
This Standard shall apply to intruder alarm systems in private premises, commercial
premises and special installations.
1.3 RISK ASSESSMENT
Prior to installation, a risk assessment shall be conducted and documented in conjunction
with the client. The classification of the intruder alarm system installation shall be selected
in accordance with Appendix A with agreement from the client.
