CEI EN 60839-11-1

This part of IEC 60839 specifies the minimum functionality,
performance requirements and test methods for electronic access
control systems and components used for physical access (entry and
exit) in and around buildings and protected areas. It does not
include requirements for access point actuators and sensors.

This standard is not intended to cover requirements for off
premise transmission associated with intrusion or hold up alarm
signals.

This standard applies to electronic access control systems and
components intended to be used in security applications for the
granting of access and includes requirements for logging,
identification and control of information.

The standard comprises the following:

– A conceptual model and system architecture.

– Criteria covering:

• classification based on performance functionalities and
  capabilities;
• access point interface requirements;
• indication and annunciation requirements (display, alert,
  logging);
• duress signalling and overriding; recognition
  requirements;
• system self-protection requirements;
• communication between the component parts of the electronic
  access control system and with other systems.

– Requirements for environmental conditions (indoor/outdoor use)
and electromagnetic compatibility.

– Test methods.
