Certification requirements

The certification of a system according to intrusion alarm system laws and standards is very important.
Firstly, because certification ensures that the alarm system provides the desired protection, secondly because it could be
a prerequisite for eligibility for discounts on insurance policies or the possibility of being connected with Law Enforcement
bodies, security agencies, and alarm reception centres.
Once the necessary and desired grade of security has been established, it is necessary to verify that the system you
wish to create corresponds to what the standards recommend.
There are two figures that ensure this:

the manufacturer, who builds and certifies his products

the installer, who constructs the system state-of-the art, following indications provided by the standards
IMPORTANT!
The level of security guaranteed by an alarm system is determined jointly by the products used and how the
installation was carried out.
If the devices used are certified for a high degree of safety, but the installation is deficient or even in contrast
with what the standards prescribe, the system cannot be certified or will have a very low level certification.
Likewise, carrying out a perfect installation from a technical and standards point of view does not guarantee
certification if the system uses uncertified devices.
IMPORTANT!
The certification of an alarm system does not correspond to the certification of an electrical system.
An alarm system could be perfectly in conformity with electrical system standards, but not respect those of an
intrusion alarm system.
The certification issued by the installer must explicitly declare that all the devices installed are certified for a
grade of security equal or greater to the one indicated for the system and that the installation respects the
standards. It is also preferable that the specific standards be cited clearly in the document.
