PART II APPROVAL OF A VEHICLE WITH REGARD TO ITS ALARM SYSTEM When a VAS approved to Part I of this Annex is being used in a vehicle submitted for approval to Part II of this Annex, tests required to be passed by a VAS in order to obtain approval to Part I of this Annex shall not be repeated. 7. Definitions For the purpose of Part II of this Annex: 7.1. 'Alarm system(s)' (AS) means an arrangement of components fitted as original equipment in a vehicle type, designed to indicate intrusion into or interference with the vehicle; these systems may provide additional protection against unauthorized use of the vehicle. 7.2. 'Vehicle type with regard to its alarm system' means vehicles which do not differ significantly in such essential aspects as: - the manufacturer's trade name or mark, - vehicle features which significantly influence the performances of the AS, - the type and design of the AS or VAS. 7.3. Other definitions applicable to Part II are contained in item 2 of this Annex. 8. General specifications 8.1. As shall be designed and built in such a way that they, in the event of intrusion into or interference with a vehicle, provide an alarm signal. The alarm signal shall be audible and in addition may include optical alarm devices, or be a radio alarm, or any combination of the above. 8.2. Vehicles which are equipped with alarm systems shall comply with the relevant technical requirements, especially with regard to electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). 8.3. If the AS includes the possibility of a radio transmission, e. g. for setting or unsetting of the alarm or for alarm transmission, it shall comply with the relevant ETSI standards (see footnote 3 pertinent to item 3.3). The frequency must be 433,92 MHz and the maximum radiated power 25 mW. 8.4. The AS and components thereof shall not activate inadvertently, particularly whilst the engine is in its running mode. 8.5. Failure of the AS, or failure of its electrical supply, shall not affect the safe operation of the vehicle. 8.6. The alarm system, its components and the parts controlled by them shall be so installed as to minimize the risk for anyone to make them inoperative or to destroy them rapidly and without calling attention, e. g. using low-cost, easily-concealed tools, equipment or fabrications readily available to the public at large. 8.7. The system shall be so arranged that the shorting out of any alarm signal circuit shall not render inoperative any aspects of the alarm system, other than the circuit which is shorted out. 8.8. The AS may include an immobilizer which shall comply with the requirements of Annex V. 9. Particular specifications 9.1. Protection range 9.1.1. Specific requirements The AS shall at least detect and signal the opening of any vehicle door, engine bonnet and luggage compartment. The failure or switching off of light sources, e. g. passenger compartment light, shall not impair the control operation.. The installation of additional efficient sensors for information/display, e. g.: - of intrusions into the vehicle, e. g. passenger compartment control, window glass control, breakage of a glazed area, or - of attempted vehicle theft, e. g. inclination sensor, are allowed, taking account of measures to prevent any unnecessary sounding of the alarm (false alarm, see item 9.1.2). In so far as these additional sensors generate an alarm signal even after an intrusion has occurred (e. g. by breakage of a glazed area) or under external influences (e.g. wind), the alarm signal, activated by one of the abovementioned sensors, shall be activated not more than 10 times within the same activation period of the AS. In this case the activation period shall be limited by the unsetting of the system as a result of the vehicle user's action. Some kinds of additional sensors, e. g. passenger compartment control (ultrasonic, infra-red) or inclination sensor, etc., may be intentionally deactivated. In this case, separate deliberate action must be taken each time before the AS is set. It must not be possible to deactivate the sensors while the alarm system is in a set state. 9.1.2. Safety against false alarm 9.1.2.1. It shall be ensured that the AS both in set and unset conditions, cannot cause the alarm signal to sound unnecessarily, in the event of: - an impact on the vehicle: test specified in item 5.2.13, - reduction of battery voltage by continuous discharge; test specified in item 5.2.14, - false alarm of the passenger compartment control: test specified in item 5.2.15. 9.1.2.2. If the applicant for approval can demonstrate, e. g. by technical data, that safety against false alarm is satisfactorily ensured, the technical service responsible for conduction approval tests may not require some of the above tests. 9.2. Audible alarm 9.2.1. General The alarm signal shall be clearly audible and recognizable and shall differ significantly from the other audible signals used in road traffic. In addition to the original equipment audible warning device, a separate audible alarm signal device may be fitted in the area of the vehicle which is controlled by the AS, where it shall be protected against easy, rapid access by persons. If a separate audible alarm signal device according to item 9.2.3.1 below is used, the original equipment standard audible warning device may additionally be actuated by the AS, provided that any tampering with the standard audible warning device (generally more easily accessible) does not affect the operation of the separate audible alarm signal device. 9.2.2. Duration of the audible alarm signal Minimum: 25 s Maximum: 30 s. The audible alarm signal may sound again only after the next interference with the vehicle, i. e. after the abovementioned time span.

Appendix 4 Technical prescriptions for audible alarm devices (AAD) 1. The AAD shall emit a continuous and uniform sound, its acoustic spectrum shall not vary substantially during its operation. For AAD supplied with alternating current, this requirement shall apply only at constant generator speed, within the range specified in item 2.1.3.2. 2. The AAD shall have acoustic characteristics (spectral distribution of the acoustic energy sound pressure level) and mechanical characteristics such than it can satisfy the following tests, in the order indicated. 2.1. Measurement of sound characteristics 2.1.1. The AAD should, preferably, be tested in an anechoic environment. Alternatively, it may be tested in a semi-anechoic chamber or in an open space. In this case, precautions shall be taken to avoid reflections from the ground within the measuring area (for instance by erecting a set of absorbing screens). Compliance with the spherical divergence to a limit of 1 dB within a hemisphere of not less than 5 m radius, up to the maximum frequency to be measured, especially in the measuring direction and at the height of the apparatus and the microphone, shall be checked. The ambient noise level shall be at least 10 dB lower than the sound pressure level to be measured. The device to be tested and the microphone shall be placed at the same height. This height shall be between 1,15 and 1,25 m. The axis of maximum sensitivity of the microphone shall coincide with the direction of the maximum sound level of the device. The microphone shall be so placed that its diaphragm is at a distance of 2 ± 0,01 m from the plane of the sound outlet of the device. In the case of devices with several outlets, the distance shall be determined in relation to the plane of the nearest outlet to the microphone. 2.1.2. The measurements of the sound pressure levels shall be made with a class 1 precision sound level meter conforming to the specifications of IEC Publication No 651, first edition (1979). All measurements shall be made using the time constant 'F'. The measurement of the overall sound pressure level shall be made using the weighting curve A. The spectrum of the sound emitted shall be measured according to the Fourier transform of the acoustic signal. Alternatively one-third octave filters conforming to the specifications of IEC Publication No 225, first edition (1966) may be used: in this case, the sound pressure level in the mid-band frequency 2 500 Hz shall be determined by adding the quadratic means of the sound pressures in the one-third mid-band frequencies 2 000, 2 500 and 3 150 Hz. In every case, only the Fourier transform method shall be regarded as a reference method. 2.1.3. The AAD shall be supplied with current, as appropriate, at the following voltages: 2.1.3.1. in the case of AAD supplied with direct current, at one of the test voltages of 6,5, 13 or 26 volts measured at the terminal of the electric power source and corresponding respectively to rated voltages of 6, 12 or 24 volts; 2.1.3.2. in the case of AAD supplied with alternating current, the current shall be supplied by an electric generator of the type normally used with this type of AAD. The acoustic characteristics of the AAD shall be recorded for electric generator speeds corresponding to 50 %, 75 % and 100 % of the maximum speed indicated by the manufacturer of the generator for continuous operation. During this test, no other electrical load shall be imposed on the electric generator. The endurance test described in item 3 shall be carried out at a speed indicated by the manufacturer of the equipment and selected from the above range. 2.1.4. If a rectified current source is used for the tests of an AAD supplied with direct current, the alternating component of the voltage measured at its terminals, when the warning devices are in operation, shall not be more than 0,1 volt, peak to peak. 2.1.5. For AAD supplied with direct current, the resistance of the connecting leads, including terminals and contacts, shall be as close as possible to: - 0,05 ohms for a 6 volt circuit, - 0,10 ohms for a 12 volt circuit, - 0,20 ohms for a 24 volt circuit. 2.1.6. The device shall be rigidly mounted, using the part or parts provided by the manufacturer, on a support whose mass is at least 10 times that of the device and not less than 30 kg. In addition, arrangements must be made to ensure that reflexions on the sides of the support and its own vibrations have not appreciable affect on the measuring results. 2.1.7. Under the conditions set forth above, the sound-pressure level weighted in accordance with curve A shall not exceed 118 dB(A). 2.1.7.1. In addition, the sound pressure level in the frequency band 1 800 to 3 500 Hz shall be greater than that of any component of a frequency above 3 500 Hz and in any event equal to or greater than 105 dB (A). 2.1.8. The specifications indicated above shall also be met by a device subjected to the endurance test referred to in item 3 below, with the supply voltage varying between 115 % and 95 % of its rated voltage for AAD supplied with direct current or, for AAD supplied with alternating current, between 50 % and 100 % of the maximum speed of the generator indicated by the manufacturer for continuous operation. 2.1.9. The time lapse between the moment of activation and the moment at which the sound reaches the minimum level laid down in item 2.1.7 shall not exceed 0,2 seconds, measured in an ambient temperature of 20 ± 5 °C. This provision shall apply in particular to pneumatically or electro-pneumatically operated devices. 2.1.10 Devices which are pneumatically or electro-pneumatically operated shall, with the pneumatic circuit arranged in accordance with the manufacturer's specification, have the same acoustic performance as that required for electrically operated audible AAD. 2.1.11. In the case of multiple-tone devices in which each sound-emitting unit is capable of functioning independently, the minimum values specified above shall be obtained when each of the constituent units is operated separately. The maximum value of the overall sound level shall not be exceeded when all the constituent units are operated simultaneously. 3. Endurance tests 3.1. The AAD shall be supplied with current at the rated voltage and with the connecting lead resistances specified in items 2.1.3 and 2.1.5, and operated 50 000 times, each time for one second followed by an interval of four seconds. During the test, the AAD shall be ventilated by an air current having a speed of approximately 10 m/sec. 3.2. If the test is carried out in an anechoic chamber, the latter shall be of sufficient volume to allow normal dispersal of the heat emitted by the device during the endurance test. 3.3. The ambient temperatures in the test room shall be between + 15 and + 30 °C. 3.4. If, after the AAD has been operated for half the number of times prescribed, the sound-level characteristics are no longer the same as before the test, the AAD may be adjusted.
