This European Standard is for microwave detectors installed in buildings and provides for security
grades 1 to 4 (see EN 50131-1), specific or non-specific wired or wire-free detectors, and uses
environmental classes I to IV (see EN 50130-5). This standard does not include requirements for
microwave detectors intended for use outdoors.
A detector shall fulfil all the requirements of the specified grade.
Functions additional to the mandatory functions specified in this standard may be included in the
