This British Standard specifies requirements for the transfer of information and controls within a social alarm system, by means of dual‑tone multi‑frequency (DTMF) tone signals passing between site control or local equipment and an alarm receiving centre via the public switched telephone network (PSTN) supporting voice traffic conforming to ITU‑T Recommendation G.711 [1].
