Foreword

The preparation of this Published Document (PD) was entrusted to Technical

Committee GW/1, Electronic security systems. It is a result of the Open Forum held
on 6 October 1998 at BSI on European Standards for alarms.
A series of European Standards for intruder alarm systems is being produced which
will eventually replace a number of British Standards for intruder alarm systems. Some
European Standards in the series have been published, others are in draft format, and
work has not started on the remainder. Once the whole series of European Standards
has been published, BSI will be required to withdraw conflicting British Standards. The
date for such a withdrawal has yet to be established.
There is growing pressure from a number of organizations that represent security
companies to begin installing intruder alarm systems in accordance with those
European Standards already published. This is creating problems for both the security
companies and the inspectorates of intruder alarm systems, as some fundamental
requirements for intruder alarm systems will be included in European Standards not
yet published.
This Published Document has been drawn up to enable users and insurance
companies to specify, and security companies to install, intruder alarm systems to
those parts of the European Standards which are already published and to those
European Standards which exist in a mature draft form.
The publication of this PD does not imply that use of the European Standards is
mandatory. Its intent is to enable the published European Standards and draft
standards to be applied in a controlled and consistent way across the industry, where
specifiers and installers choose to use them as an alternative to the relevant British
Standards.
Systems may be installed in accordance with British Standards (i.e. BS 4737
and BS 7042), or in accordance with the European Standards defined in this PD.
The scheme does not apply to wire-free intruder alarm systems, which should continue
to be installed in accordance with BS 6799 and DD 244.
The scheme does not apply to exterior intruder alarm systems, which should continue
to be installed in accordance with BS 4737-4.3:1998.
The scheme does not apply to exterior deterrent systems, which should continue to be
installed in accordance with DD 231.
The scheme does not apply to systems consisting only of deliberately operated
devices (DODs), which should continue to be installed in accordance with BS 4737-2.
The scheme described in this PD is an interim scheme based on currently available
European Standards. This PD will be reviewed when new European Standards are
published. It is therefore anticipated that new editions of the PD, or amendments to it,
will be published from time to time.
This publication does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract.
Users of this document are responsible for its correct application.
This Published Document is not to be regarded as a British Standard.

scheme described in PD 6662:2000, for a
grade 1, 2, 3 or 4, option A, B, C or D system.
NOTE The options A, B, C or D relate to the means of
notification specified in BS EN 50131-1:1997, Table 5 and Table 6.

for intruder alarm systems installed in
accordance with the scheme given
in PD 6662

For intruder alarm systems installed to meet the
requirements of BS EN 50131-1, and which include
DODs, the DODs should conform to BS 4737-3.14.
A.2 Control and indicating equipment
The material for the housing of the control and
indicating equipment should conform to
BS 4737-1:1986, 3.2.1.
A.3 Warning devices

A.4.1.1 General
Preventive maintenance should be carried out in
accordance with BS 4737-4.2:1986, 3.2.2.
A.4.1.2 Frequency of maintenance
The following frequency of maintenance is
recommended as a minimum:
Grade 1: one site visit per year
Grades
2 and 3: either: a) two site visits per year; or
b) one site visit plus one remote
system check per year
Grade 4: two site visits per year
 BSI 03-2000
PD 6662:2000
A.4.1.3 Remote system checks
Remote system checks should include at least the
following:
a) a review of the event log, for successful setting
and unsetting;
b) a check on the normal and standby power
supplies, for correct functioning;
c) a check on the recent activity of all detectors
which would be expected to operate during the
normal occupation of the building;
d) a check for the correct operation of any alarm
transmission system, in conjunction with the alarm
receiving centre.
The alarm receiving centre should be notified before
the remote system check commences, and following its
completion.
The remote system check should not generate any
false activations and, when completed, should leave
the system state unchanged.
If the remote system check is carried out whilst parts
of the alarm system remain set, the correct operation
of these parts should not be compromised.
Detailed records of all checks undertaken should be
maintained.
If any check reveals a problem, the user should be
informed as soon as is practicable, and appropriate
arrangements made for the problem to be rectified.
NOTE The cooperation of a user at the supervised premises is
acceptable, provided that the results of all checks are transmitted
electronically.
A.4.2 Corrective maintenance
Corrective maintenance should be carried out in
accordance with BS 4737-4.2:1986, 3.3.
