About This Item
IEC 62642-2-4:2010 defines the technical reference for alarm systems focused on intrusion and hold-up applications, specifically intrusion detectors that combine passive infrared and microwave sensing. For engineering teams, integrators, and procurement staff, it provides a clear compliance reference for evaluating detector performance and suitability within security system design and verification activities. IEC 62642-2-4:2010 is relevant where documented evaluation, product selection, and conformity assessment need to align with a recognized specification for combined sensor technology.
What is IEC 62642-2-4:2010?
This document addresses the detector type identified in the title: combined passive infrared / microwave detectors used in intrusion alarm systems. It is intended to support technical assessment of how such detectors are characterized, tested, and reviewed within security equipment workflows. In practice, it helps organizations compare products against a defined performance framework, support engineering documentation, and structure compliance checks during development or purchasing decisions. IEC 62642-2-4:2010 is therefore a focused technical document for this detector category rather than a broad alarm-system overview.
Applications of IEC 62642-2-4:2010
The standard is typically used in product evaluation, laboratory testing, and conformity assessment activities for security devices that combine passive infrared and microwave technologies. It may be relevant for alarm panel manufacturers, detector suppliers, security installers, and test labs working on intrusion detection equipment for commercial, industrial, or protected premises. It also supports procurement review and technical validation when comparing detector designs, documenting acceptance criteria, or preparing evidence for regulatory preparation and quality workflows.
Why is IEC 62642-2-4:2010 important?
Because combined PIR/microwave detectors are often selected for their balanced sensing characteristics, a consistent technical reference helps reduce ambiguity during specification and testing. IEC 62642-2-4:2010 supports safety-oriented risk management, testing consistency, and operational consistency across engineering teams and suppliers. It can also strengthen conformity assessment preparation by giving laboratories and purchasers a common basis for review, helping improve confidence in product selection, documented evaluation, and technical compliance decisions.
