nated or permanently assigned outside the function- involved.
c. When determined by the field element to be required, an intrusion
detection and assessment system shall protect in a manner consistent
with the value and the impact of loss or sabotage of property and
facilities. Devices and equipment for interior intrusion detection
systems shall meet Federal specification, W-A-450-8, ''Interim Federal
Specifications, Alarm Systems," or be approved by the field element.
