Euralarm Position Paper on Battery Regulation
This Position Paper is to aid Market Surveillance Authorities in interpreting the regulation in the context of fire safety, life safety and security systems.
The Paper focuses on the batteries typically found in panels (control and indicating equipment and power supply units) or alarm transmitters (supervised premises transceiver). Systems can also comprise field devices, such as wireless detectors, which may contain batteries. Such field devices and their batteries are not considered here due to different applications and battery technologies.
