SALTO access control hardware has achieved a huge milestone in having its SALTO Space Wall Readers and Controllers certified to EN 60839 standard.
This important standard provides guidelines for those responsible for establishing and planning an electronic access control system (EACS) both in terms of levels of protection and levels of performance necessary to provide the degree of physical access (entry and exit) access control and protection considered appropriate for an installation.
Driven by SALTO’s factory based Certification Department, the Design XS Wall Readers product range (SALTO XS Panel reader and Design XS Mullion reader models) and SALTO Controllers – specifically the CU4000 series, CU4000 expansion board, have achieved grade two level EN 60839-11-1 for alarm and electronic security systems (electronic access control systems) and EN 50131-3 alarm systems (intrusion and hold-up systems).
Ramesh Gurdev, Managing Director SALTO Systems UK, says “Standards play an ever increasingly important part in the specification and construction process framework. From carbon footprint status to quality management and sustainability to the Internet of Things, standards must be met to ensure businesses remain regulatory aligned and competitive.
The EN 60839 standard is becoming requested more frequently and in some cases is mandatory in tenders where the access control platform must be installed together with the alarm system, so it is excellent news for potential SALTO customers that our SALTO Space Wall Readers and Controllers are now certified to this standard.”
