It applies to mechanical and electronic HSL. The following features may be included as optional subjects but they are not mandatory:
recognised code for preventing code altering and/or enabling/disabling parallel codes;
recognised code for disabling time set up;
integration of alarm components or functions;
remote control duties;
resistance to attacks with acids;
