This Standard specifies requirements and test methods for vehicle security alarm systems (VSAS) intended as original equipment and for post-delivery installation within vehicles.

The Standard covers VSAS designed to detect and locally annunciate the unauthorized opening of a vehicle in addition to the automatic immobilization of the vehicle by either the vehicle's original equipment immobilizer or the VSAS.

NOTE: The correct installation of a VSAS is essential to it functioning as designed. Guidance on the installation and maintenance of a VSAS is given in AS/NZS 3749.2.
