A sound system for emergency purposes shall permit 
the broadcasting of intelligible information of measures 
to be taken for the protection of lives within one or more 
specified areas.
Compliant, if properly installed. Responsibility of the 
installer.
The following criteria shall be fulfilled:
a
When any alarm is detected, the system shall 
immediately disable any functions not connected 
with its emergency role (such as paging, music or 
general pre-recorded announcements being 
broadcast to the loudspeaker zones requiring 
emergency broadcasts).
Compliant.
b
Unless damaged as a result of the emergency, the 
system shall be available for operation at all times 
(or as required by the system specification).
Compliant, if installed with:
• 
Redundant ring network.
• 
Spare Power Amplifiers.
• 
Multiple loudspeaker circuits per zone and one 
loudspeaker circuit per amplifier channel.
• 
Battery back-up / UPS back-up.
• 
Emergency Call Station in failsafe layout or 
Emergency Call Station Kit in the failsafe layout.
Responsibility of the installer.
c
The system shall be capable of broadcasting within 
10 s after primary or secondary power is applied.
Compliant, if installed with failsafe layout. Responsibility 
of the installer.
d
Except during the condition described in 4.1c), the 
system shall be capable of broadcasting a first 
attention-drawing signal within 3 s of being placed 
in an emergency mode by the operator, or 
automatically on receipt of a signal from a fire or 
other detection system. In the latter case, the 
period of 3 s includes the reaction time of the 
detection system from the time the emergency is 
first detected, to commanding the alarm broadcast.
Compliant.
e
The system shall be able to broadcast attention-
drawing signals and speech messages to one or 
more areas simultaneously. There shall be at least 
one appropriate attention-drawing signal 
alternating with one or more speech messages for 
this purpose.
Compliant, if attention-drawing signal is part of the pre-
recorded message. Responsibility of the installer.
f
At any time the system operator shall be able to 
receive, by means of a monitoring system, 
indications of the correct functioning or otherwise 
of the relevant parts of the emergency system (see 
also 5.2 and 5.3).
Compliant, indicated by call stations and/or by a control 
output of the Network Controller (if properly installed). 
Fault is also displayed by the Network Controller and 
the Logging Viewer (optional).
g  Failure of a single amplifier or loudspeaker circuit 
shall not result in total loss of coverage in the 
loudspeaker zone served.
NOTE 1 - The monitoring system specified 
in 4.1f) should indicate the failure of an amplifier or of a 
loudspeaker circuit.
NOTE 2 - Particularly in small buildings, it may not be 
necessary to install two separate loudspeaker circuits 
in one loudspeaker zone. A decision on this matter 
may be subject to local regulations.
Compliant if installed with:
Spare Power Amplifiers.
Multiple loudspeaker circuits per zone and one 
loudspeaker circuit per amplifier channel.
Line Supervision set.
Responsibility of the installer.
h
An attention-drawing signal shall precede the first 
message for 4 s to 10 s. Successive signals and 
messages shall then continue until either changed 
in accordance with the evacuation procedure, or 
manually silenced. The interval between successive 
messages shall not exceed 30 s and attention-
drawing signals shall be broadcast whenever 
periods of silence might otherwise exceed 10 s. 
Where more than one attention-drawing signal is 
used, such as those used for different types of 
emergency, each signal shall be clearly 
distinguishable in character.
Compliant, if attention-drawing signal is part of the pre-
recorded message and call macro has been configured 
properly. Responsibility of the installer.
