Subclause 6.8.3 – Global indefinite ALARM SIGNAL inactivation states

ü        The provision of a global ALARM OFF or AUDIO OFF function requires a careful RISK ANALYSIS.

ü        The RISK ANALYSIS needs to weigh the RISK of frequent or constant ALARM SIGNALS (including those from FALSE POSITIVE ALARM CONDITIONS) versus the RISK of an ALARM CONDITION with inadequate or no ALARM SIGNALS being generated.

זה נכון תמיד כשמדובר בהתרעות, ולכן מקומה של פיסקה בו בפרק כללי יותר

?       In addition, whether or not the ALARM SYSTEM is intended to be continuously attended by an OPERATOR in NORMAL USE and the presence or absence of a DISTRIBUTED ALARM SYSTEM need to be considered.

לא ברור כיצד זה משפיע. אולי ניתן להגדיר כללים, ולפרט אותם בתקן.

ü        If a global ALARM OFF or AUDIO OFF function is provided, MANUFACTURERS are required to provide periodic REMINDER SIGNALS to mitigate the RISK of an OPERATOR forgetting that all auditory ALARM SIGNALS are inactivated.

ü        If a global ALARM OFF or AUDIO OFF function is provided, MANUFACTURERS are required to provide the RESPONSIBLE ORGANIZATION with means to enable or disable the global function.

ü        ALARM SYSTEMS are required to allow the RESPONSIBLE ORGANIZATION (and only the RESPONSIBLE ORGANIZATION) to determine whether or not global ALARM SIGNAL inactivation states are appropriate for use.
