Adoption of IEC60839 Access Control Standard
Standards Australia has finalised the adoption of the IEC 60839 series for access control.
The standard will be known as AS/NZS IEC 60839.11.1:2019and IEC 60839.11.1:2013 (Part 11.1: Electronic access control systems – System and components; Part 11.2: Electronic access control systems – Application Guidelines).
The standard (i) specifies the minimum functionality, performance and test methods for electronic access control systems and components and (ii) defines different security grades and the functionalities of the access system associated with each of these grades.
