This guide targets customers of alarm systems. It may help customers to evaluate the risks involved in the operation of alarm systems, typically attributed to user errors. Hopefully, in the future this guide will be formulated as a standard for customers of alarm systems.
This guide focuses on the usability of alarm system. It does not replace IEC 60601-1-8, which after fixing major usability mistakes, may be suitable for guiding the manufacturers in the system design.
