Which standard covers Central-Station Burglar-Alarm Systems?

The correct choice is UL 611, which specifically covers Central-Station Burglar-Alarm Systems. This standard outlines the requirements for the design, performance, and installation of burglar alarm systems that are monitored by a central station. Central-Station Burglar-Alarm Systems are critical because they are designed to ensure prompt response to alarms, providing higher levels of security for both residential and commercial properties.

By adhering to UL 611, alarm companies can ensure their systems meet industry standards, follow best practices for security monitoring, and provide reliable service to their customers. This standard also addresses the testing methods and performance criteria necessary to maintain system integrity and reliability over time.

Other standards mentioned do address various aspects of alarm systems but do not specifically focus solely on central station monitoring. ANSI/SIA CP-01-2007, for instance, relates to control panels for security and alarm systems but does not specifically cover central stations. UL 1981 pertains to residential burglar alarm systems, and ANSI/SIA DC-09-2007 addresses digital communications for alarm signaling, not the central station systems directly.
