Hello Christine,
I haven’t been involved in access control for a few years – there was a group that developed standards for alarm systems and a few standards were under development. I hadn’t seen them in the OJ last time I looked. I suspect that access control would be covered by RTTE Directive, as the card readers used with a lot of access control systems are typically short range devices, i.e., a radio. I suspect that for radio parameters, EN 300330 would apply, one of the EN3014xx standards for immunity, as well as LVD (as called out by the RTTED) and human exposure (also specified in the RTTED). You can check ERC 70 03 to see if your operating frequency is harmonized, otherwise you will need to notify each country. The last bit is whether or not there is an additional standard in the OJ under RTTE for access control products. By the way, some US customers also specify UL 1076 in addition to UL 294 for access control products. UL 1076 can be “tedious”. Airport security I would suspect would want 1076. And finally, does your OEM have FCC certification? If it is a short range device you can comply with verification rules, if it is a “long” range device (several inches instead of a few inches), you may need certification. Good luck.

I've only been able to find requirements for the US (UL 294 ) The equipment will be used primarily in airports and similar high security areas. Thank you in advance!

UL 294 seems to be the correct and latest US standard for Access Control equipment. What would be the equivalent EN and IEC standards for this type of equipment. Thank you in advance!
