Hi Nick Intruder alarms are covered by the following series of standards:
EN 50130 - Alarm systems EN 50131 - Alarm systems. Intrusion Systems EN 50132 - Alarm systems. CCTV surveillance systems for use in security applications. EN 50133 - Alarm systems. Access control systems for use in security applications EN 50134 - Alarm systems. Social alarm systems They are all multipart standards but I do not have a current list - try BSI & their on-line catalogue at bsi.org.uk. Also note that this type of product (as well as fire alarms) is under the general control of the Construction Products Directive, and that there are special EMC requirements in the standards (see EN 50130-4 in particular) - not just application of the generics. The Loss Prevention Certification Board (LPCB) at Borehamwood specialise in testing and certifying alarm systems of these types and you may be able to get some general guidance from them.

EN guidance (CENELEC report R079-001:1998) indicates that either EN60950 or EN60065 may be appropriate for safety, and sooner or later I'll have to make my own mind up as to which to choose. However, if there's anyone out there would not mind telling me which standard they applied in similar circumstances, I'd be grateful to hear from them. The unit is a box intended for exterior wall mounting and it contains a piezo sounder, xenon tube and associated circuitry including an anti-tamper switch. Incoming supply is actually 12VDC so we won't officially claim compliance with the Low Voltage Directive, but it would still be a good idea to take a standards-based approach to the design.
