Hazard warning systems (HWS) as well as security technology in smart home applications for use in residential buildings, apartments, and rooms with similar purposes - Part 7: Application Guidelines CLC/prTS 50XXX-7

Scope

This Part 7 of the standard applies to the planning, installation, operation and maintenance of hazard warning systems (HWS) for residential buildings, flats and rooms with flat-like use. It also specifies the basic requirements in the context of safety and security technology in a smart home. Furthermore, it describes basic requirements for devices and systems.
Hazard warning systems are used for early warning to avoid or reduce personal injury and damage to property,
which can result from burglary (unauthorised entry), threat, fire, dangerous gases and water ingress as well as
technical defects. HWS can also be used in residential properties for defence in the event of annoyance/pressure,
for the control of building services functions (e.g. showing of escape ways) as well as for communication with
persons in emergency situations (communication with emergency response centre [ERC]) who are present in the
property covered by the HWS.
HWS can be designed in compliance with this standard as a self-contained system, as HWS with connection of
Smart Home components or in the form of a HWS as a Smart Home system with integrated security applications.

The term smart home includes systems and technical processes which are used in residential properties, where
networked, remote-controllable devices, such as entertainment electronics, household appliances, heating, air
conditioning, ventilation (HVAC), electrical components, door/gate/window openings as well as security and
safety installations are used to prevent or reduce personal injury and damage to property. This includes in
particular measures for the detection, avoidance and visual documentation (video recording) of situations which
can arise as a result of burglary (unauthorised entry), threats, fire, dangerous gases and water ingress as well as
technical defects.
HWS as a smart home with security applications can also be used in residential properties for defence in the event of annoyance, for the control of building services functions (e.g. showing of escape ways) as well as for communication with persons in emergency situations (communication with emergency response centre) who are present in the property covered by the HWS) and in – case if the System is designed as an Active Assisted Living System (AAL) – for detection when critical health aspects occur.
Networking in this context also means the integration of different systems into the HWS and, in many cases, the
connection with devices (e.g. smartphone, tablet, PC) via the Internet in conjunction with specific application
software (App). This standard is also applied when systems use the connection to the Internet to outsource
functional intelligence and use possibilities to automate processes across application areas, which can be local,
remote or in combination.

Any warning can be sent to persons present in the building and/or to other locations or ERCs.
