WG-AL3S - Recommendations6 H. Laeger; SAPOCO 9/11/98 Further Work (outside mandate of WG-AL3S) n Risk Analysis & Selection of most appropriate sensors, detection systems, actions n Consistent procedures for safety and rescue interventions n Definition of common protocol and data- exchange-mecanism for all control systems n Adapt TIS SI 37 n Procedures to monitor and ensure correct implementation of these recommendations

WG-AL3S - Recommendations7 H. Laeger; SAPOCO 9/11/98 IS 37 vs STANDARDS n IS 37 u 3 Classification of Alarms: - Level3 F Significance: accident or serious abnormal situation, especially where people’s lives are or may be in danger n ex: IEC u 4. Definitions; 4.1 Alarm F A warning of the presence of a hazard to life, property, or the environment.

WG-AL3S - Recommendations8 H. Laeger; SAPOCO 9/11/98 REDUNDENCY in Standards n ex IEC Alarm Systems Requirements for alarm transmission systems u 4.2 In order to provide for increased communication reliability, more than one communication channel may be used between an alam system and one or more alarm receiving centres. u For the purpose of transmission redundancy, an alarm system may be connected to a remote centre by more than one form of transmission, e.g. dedicated transmission paths and digital communicators using the public switched network.
