  • PDF

The British Standards Institution (BSI) and CEDIA propose a new British Standard Publicly Available Specification (PAS) for smart home wiring, and are currently looking for input from the industry.

British standardTitled "Design and Installation of Telecommunications and Broadcast Infrastructure within the Home," the standard gives recommendations for the design and installation of domestic wiring infrastructure for digital services delivery, based on the requirements of BS EN50173 and BS EN50174. It is designed to be suitable for use within single residential dwellings and most homes of multiple occupations.

The PAS process gives installers and suppliers the chance to review the document and leave comments and recommendations. CEDIA describes the standard as "a big step forward for the industry," so it requests members to take part in the consultation process to ensure the highest standard possible.
