This document contains standards and guidelines for airport security access control and integrated systems (including alarm monitoring, credentialing, identity management, biometrics, video management and recording, intrusion detection, intercom, public address, and supporting network communications subsystems) which are hereinafter referred to as Integrated Security Systems for Airports (ISSA).

Airport operators designing or enhancing such systems under the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Title 49 (Transportation Security Administration [TSA]), Chapter XII, Part 1542.207, are strongly encouraged to consider these recommendations in the design and implementation process.

These standards present functional requirements and performance characteristics, as well as best practices for use by designers, manufacturers, installers, service providers, operators and users of automated integrated security systems intended for operational use within the US National Airspace System (NAS) and include industry best practices and lessons learned by industry subject matter experts.
