I've been asked to give an opinion on an intruder alarm bell box. 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.
