Introduction

• Types of standards

• Types of publications

• Security systems standards

– Intruder alarm systems

– CCTV systems

– Access control systems

– Alarm transmission systems

– Monitoring centres

Types of Standards• Specifications

– ―non-negotiable set of criteria for products, services or systems‖

– The term ―shall‖ used, i.e. ―is required to‖

• Codes of practice – contains recommendations and guidance,

where the recommendations relevant to a given user have to be met in order to support a claim of compliance

– Users may also justify substitution of any of the recommendations in a code of practice with practices of equivalent or better outcome.

– The term ―should‖ used, i.e. ―is recommended that‖

• Certification schemes convert ―should‖ to ―shall‖

Types of Publication

• British standards can be specifications or codes of practice

• European Norms (ENs) are specifications, e.g. BS EN

• CENELEC Technical Specifications (TS) published by BSI as Published Documents (PD‘s) e.g. :– PD 6662: 2010 Scheme for the application of European

standards for intrusion and hold-up alarm systems

(Cat II).

• All centres must conform to BS 5979 (Cat II)

or BS EN 50518.

– URN will be issued by ACPO

• URN will be issued by police forces

Clause 2.1.2

Unique reference numbers (URNs)

• Unique reference numbers (URNs) will be issued

to systems at these recognised centres. In the

case of stolen vehicle tracking systems the URN

will be issued by ACPO to the operating company

or monitoring centre, not to each vehicle.

• Unique reference numbers (URNs) will be issued

to systems at these recognised centres. In the

case of stolen vehicle tracking systems the URN

will be issued by police forces to the operating

company or monitoring centre, not to each vehicle.

Clause 2.3.2

Updating of Policy

• (d) Once accepted will take responsibility

for ensuring the company updates itself

with amendments to the Policy, which are

updated in April and October each year.

• (d) Once accepted will take responsibility

for ensuring the company updates itself

with amendments to the Policy, which is

updated annually.

Clause 2.6.3

Notice To Install TYPE A Security System

• This will result in the issue of a URN which must be quoted

in any communication regarding the installation. An

activation received from an ARC/RVRC without a current

police URN will be treated as a Type B system and not

receive a police response without additional evidence of an

offence in progress.

• This will result in the issue of a URN which must be quoted

in all communication regarding the installation – the URN is

issued and owned by the police. Any activation received

from a compliant ARC/RVRC, without a current police URN,

will be treated as a Type B system and will not receive a

police response without additional evidence of an offence in

progress.

Clause 2.7.1 - Variations

• The Chief Officer of Police shall be notified

within 28 days of any variation to the

original URN application details, in the form

of Appendix F.

• The chief officer of police shall be notified

within 28 days of all variations to the

original URN application details, in the form

of Appendix F

Clause 2.8.2

Availability of Key-holder

• New clause:

– If a key-holder is not available for any

reason (e.g. sickness, holiday) a

replacement must be provided to cover

the period of unavailability.

Clause 2.8.5

Requests for police response• New clause:

– Requests for police response should

only come from the ARC‘s, key-holders

should not contact the police asking for

their attendance unless they have

arrived at the protected premises and

there is a crime in progress or a crime

has been committed.

Clause 2.10.1

False Alarm Filtering/Monitoring

• New requirement:

– Companies‘ false alarm ratios may be

monitored and forces reserve the right to

suspend companies who consistently

exceed the force average.

Clause 2.11.5

Administrative Charges

• New requirement

– The administration fee charged by police

forces must be clearly highlighted in

writing to customers purchasing

systems. Misrepresentation of the

amount of the fee charged by the police

will be deemed a fraudulent action and

may result in legal action against the

offending company.

Clause 3.1.3

Police Attendance• All new Intruder and PA applications will only

qualify for a URN and police response if installed

to the current required standard (PD6662 scheme

for application of European Standards for intruder

and hold up alarm systems).

• All new Intruder and Hold-Up Alarms (HUA)

applications will only qualify for a URN and police

response if installed to the current required

standards. (See Appendix F, Annexe C „Standards

Matrix‟).

Clause 4.5.2 Advertising• 4.5.2 The use of wording such as ‗Police Approved‘,

‗Police Preferred‘, ‗Police Compliant‘ and ‗Meets

Police Requirements‘ must not be used.

• 4.5.2 Companies that are registered with their local

police force under the security systems policy

(Appendix B) to install Type “A” Remote Signalling

systems may use wording such as , „Police

Compliant‟ and „Meets Police Policy Requirements‟,

providing they include in the advertising material that

they are registered as above. The terms police

approved or police referred or working in conjunction

with the police must not be used. Generic

photographic material or images of police officers or

vehicles may be used.

Clause 4.5.3 -Telesales• New requirement:

– Companies engaged in telesales techniques should

comply with the following:

• The supplier is not to make any representations of the

product being approved, endorsed or authorised by the

police force.

• The script reflects the above.

• Each supplier should comply with relevant legislation in

relation to telesales/telemarketing.

• Each supplier should monitor sales staff, the content of

sales calls, be able to identify individual telesales operators

and avoid any instances of high pressure selling e.g.

through recording of calls.

– Each supplier should be aware any complaints made to

the police force regarding sales tactics may be re-

directed to the relevant regulatory body for investigation.

Appendix C

Disclosure of convictions• (xii) In the event of a request for a police check

from a foreign national who has not been in

continuous residence in the United Kingdom for

the past 5 years the application will also require an

attachment of the relevant Overseas Criminality

Certificate/record check (OCC); this will need a

form of authentication and be translated into

English by a translation service that is a member

of the Institute of Translation & Interpreting

Companies or the Association of Translation

Companies.

Appendix C

Disclosure of convictions

• New requirement:

– (xiv) In exceptional cases where a

government body does not exist or is

unable to supply an applicant with an

OCC an applicant may be able to supply

a sworn oath in place of an OCC.
