This standard describes the basic applicaton requirements for Advanced Security Building Intercom Systems (ASBIS) in public and private buildings with advanced safety and security needs. ASBIS are also used to meet the requirements of the Locale Workplace Safety Act or other relevant local regulations, in particular, protecting the life and limb of employees and all persons in the building, taking into account the inclusion of people with disabilities (e.g to achieve barrier- free access or calls for help) where required by local applicable law. This standard applies for planning, installation, commissioning, handover, operation and maintenance of AS BIS, for the transmission of emergency, danger and hazard audio messages and/or other operational indica tions to an assisting authority for remote assessment and for implementing suitable intervention-, protection and rescue measures. Additional information can also be transmitted and the system can be used in day-to day work for all communication needs. ASBIS also feature high availability, end unit monitoring and perma nent system monitoring. Advanced Security Building Intercom Systems (ASBIS) are used for rapid emergency, danger and hazard calls, verification by voice communication, warning of a danger, rapid notification of the responsible emergen cy / intervention services and for sending voice instructions and/or other operational indications on how to proceed. Requirements for a suitable concept are a prior risk assessment and a definition of the protection target. The Technical-Risk Management (TRM) and Organizational Risk-Management (ORM) have to work out a common workflow strategy in conjunction with the corresponding system requirements, to achieve the residual risks. This Standard applies requirements for the technical risk-management as well as comments and recommendations for the organizational risk-management. The present application standard for an ASBIS describes among others, the technological processes and responsibilities involved in supporting all processes, from detecting an event (visitor-call, emergency, danger, hazard) until that event is finally dealt with. It includes TRM, the defining protection goals and organizational procedures, and the necessary requirements for a TRM file. This standard defines three different safe ty/security grades, with the product functionalities required for each. Selecting products which can be de ployed as technical resources as part of an ASBIS is the responsibility of the TRM to be employed. This standard, taken together with an ASBIS, also defines the associated tasks, responsibilities, and activi ties. These are elements of a holistic TRM process to meet the protection goals for personnel safety/security, efficiency and effectiveness, data- and system security. This standard does not specify any risk levels. In particular, it does not define any acceptable residual risks. The TRM and ORM are of equal importance in the overall risk management. (see Annex C) This standard defines the technical requirement profiles for ASBIS for three safety/security levels. It is the TRM responsibility to determine the grade involved, based on their risk assessment, selecting whichever grade best matches the risk identified, allowing for an acceptable residual risk. The annexe to this standard will assist in assessing risks. This standard also describes the process for creating, maintaining and updating a TRM file. The risks are listed, assessed and residual risks are defined in this standard. The resulting results define the extent and the structure of the ASBIS. An ASBIS is a part of a whole solution for managing certain events, such as emer gencies or crises. The structure and operation of an ASBIS demands TRM over the entire life cycle of the ASBIS. The monitor ing of an ASBIS over its life cycle is a part of the TRM file. This standard is intended to aid implementation of legal and miscellaneous requirements. Depending on the requirements of the local Opportunities act, or the relvant regulation for people with disabili ties, an ASBIS can be used for the implementation, which means, communication in 2 different formats such as light and sound. (2-meaning principle). This standard applies in its entire scope for other remote signalling and information technology systems if they include the functions of Advanced Security Building Intercom Systems (ASBIS). This Standard does not replace any relevant standards for safety/security systems or other relevant systems. Such systems can however be integrated within an ASBIS taking these standards into account. If the regulations in standards for such systems contradict this standard, the TRM shall weigh up the regulations with each other, assess them, and document them in the decision as a deviation from the standard in the TRM file.
