BS EN 50491-6-1:2014

General requirements for Home and Building Electronic Systems (HBES) and Building Automation and Control Systems (BACS). HBES installations. Installation and planning | Status: Superseded, Withdrawn

1 Scope This European Standard specifies the additional specific HBES requirements for the common rules for the planning and the installation of HBES home cabling systems. The structure is in accordance with EN 50174‑2. This European Standard focuses on requirements for HBES cabling systems in homes. Requirements for backbones cabling in buildings are also considered. HBES radio frequency (RF) systems are considered as extensions or as alternative to cabled systems. RF connections may have an impact on the infrastructure. Different infrastructure models are presented for the use of RF connections instead of wired ones (e.g. fewer installation spaces IS6). Optical fibre HBES installation guidelines may be considered in future. Power line systems are outside the scope of this European Standard.
