The SmartHouse Code of Practice is a document that provides a .system designer. working to implement a SmartHouse (to be used as dwelling and as a home office) with a source of information on sensible and pragmatic guidelines for the design, installation and maintenance of SmartHouse systems and the services and applications provided. It is recognised also that providers and installers must work within diverse regulatory environments and must be free to make choices appropriate to their business objectives (which in relation to this document focus on meeting the needs of domestic and small-office users, not large-scale commercial premises). Therefore, we consider standards as enablers and leave prescriptive aspects to local regulation. SmartHouse includes the digital home, intelligent home, connected home, networked home. SmartHouse includes any .smart. activity, service or application in the SmartHouse including any form of .office. or working environment in the SmartHouse (but the smart office in commercial premises is excluded). SmartHouse covers any residential premises where people live (e.g. house or apartment) but excludes commercial and institutional premises (such as hotels or prisons and other commercial dwellings where the day to day management of the accommodation is not controlled by the resident.). SmartHouse includes consideration of the interface with the consumer (customer, subscriber, end user) and the consumer.s needs. The aim is to provide a useful reference document to ensure that the user may exploit the benefits of a consistent system architecture by utilising European and International Standards and other generally accepted specifications in the design of the Smart House system. This document delivers a route to investment synergies, flexibility of services and useful and usable applications that satisfy the individual consumer.s needs and requirements. There are many stakeholders in the SmartHouse, each with their own viewpoint and interests. Rather than try to provide a document that covers all the viewpoints, it was decided to write this Code of Practice as a guide for the System Designer of systems, applications and services in and into the SmartHouse. The interests of all the stakeholders overlap in the System Design of the SmartHouse. CWA 50487:2005;10;The design and implementation of systems, services, applications and products requires detailed information about:;consumer needs and expectations;;user interfaces;;security;;the performance of both the wide area and local networks;;the kinds of applications and services to be used;;the equipment using it;the principles of systems architecture;and how the system and its components are installed, operated, maintained and used. This Code of Practice provides a resource for the practitioner of the SmartHouse and covers information and issues that surround the choices to be made as well as providing a route map for the designer of systems in the SmartHouse. In short, the c onsumer must want or need the service or application, must be able to use it and have it delivered within a SmartHouse system that is installed so that it works effectively and seamlessly with the other systems and components in the SmartHouse. Any service, application or device in the SmartHouse should also be simple to use, easy and intuitive to operate and allow additional applications and services to be added retrospectively. This Code of Practice is therefore subdivided into sections addressing the environment in which the system designer is working and the requirements of the actors in that environment in order to place into context the decisions and constraints the System Designer must make. The CENELEC SmartHouse Code of Practice covers the full range of stakeholders involved in the SmartHouse. Thus as Figure 1.1 below shows, the CoP ranges from the Service provider to the Consumer and takes in all the activities in between that allow services and applications to be delivered.

This European Standard applies to the equipotential bonding inside buildings in which information technology equipment is going to be installed. It contributes to the standardisation of information technology equipment and co-ordinates with the pre-requirements of the generic installation conditions as outlined in IEC 60364-5-548 to achieve the following targets: a) safety from electrical hazards; b) reliable signal reference within the entire information technology installation; c) satisfactory electromagnetic performance of the entire information technology installation. A defined bonding configuration down to the equipment level;independent of the equipment Supplier;is intended to facilitate;the installation, operation and maintenance of information technology installations in buildings;;the interworking between different information technology equipment (interconnected by metallic links). The specification of information technology equipment and of the pre-requirements of installation are subject to agreement of the parties (e. g. the equipment supplier and the purchaser or building owner). This standard applies to buildings with information technology equpiment or in which the installation of information technology equipment is intended. It provides additional information for architects of buildings and for designers and installers of electrical installations of buildings on some installation concepts that limit electromagnetic influences. Basic considerations are given here to mitigate such influences that may result in disturbance. This standard does not apply to buildings which may be subject to a harsh electromagnetic environment, or rooms containing the generation, transmission or termination of voltages over AC 1000 V. This standard does not address the specific requirements for telecommunication centres; these are specified in EN 300253.

This standard applies to electrical equipment using signals in the frequency range 1,6 MHz to 30 MHz to transmit information on low voltage electrical systems, either on the public supply system or within installations in consumers. premises. It does not specify the signal modulation methods nor the coding methods nor functional features. Environmental requirements and tests are not included. The immunity requirements have been selected so as to ensure an adequate level of immunity for apparatus at residential, commercial and light industrial premises (Class 1 environment), and industrial premises supplied from a dedicated HV/MV or MV/LV transformers (Class 2 environment). The severity levels required by this standard may not cover extreme cases which may occur in any location but with a low probability of occurrence. In special cases situations will arise where the level of disturbances may exceed the levels specified in this standard (e.g. where a hand-held transmitter is used in proximity to an apparatus). In these instances special mitigation measures may be required.

This standard provides common rules for the planning and engineering as well as installation of HBES cabling systems taking into account the layout of the cable support, cables and connectors, and the commissioning of HBES. It applies to HBES networks installed according to the legal boundaries of the electrical utilities additionally. The assessment of an installation shall be based on this standard and CLC/TS 50090-9-2. Rules for co-existence of HBES Class 1 cabling with mains power, and other networks (i.e. those covered by EN 50173 series, EN 50174 series, EN 50083 series) are also specified. This part of EN 50090 recommends one specific implementation but allows any solution which supports the required HBES functionality without disturbing, or being disturbed by, other application systems or networks. This part of EN 50090 is also intended as a predisposition and pre-cabling guide-line for Twisted Pair Class 1. This document concerns only HBES Class 1 application supported by Twisted Pair (TP) media, and coexistence with HBES Class 2 (Class 1 plus simple voice and stable picture transmission), HBES Class 3 (Class 2 plus complex video transfers, e.g. CAT V, and IT) and power networks. Network coexistence is ensured by infrastructure (see 5.2) and installation requirements. This document applies specifically to the installation of copper cables. Power line carrier, and optical fibre communication are outside the scope of this document. The environmental conditions of EN 50090-2-2 apply to enclosure, connectors and generally to all Twisted Pair HBES devices of the installation.
