|
CERTIFICATES
of CONFORMITY |
| The
Security Systems
and Alarm Inspection Board (SSAIB) was set up by the concerted
effort of a large section of the security installation industry.
It is a non profit making organisation whose sole aim is to
protect the users of security systems against unsafe or unsound
security installation. It acchives this objectiveby maintaining
a Roll of Installers throughout the country who are registered
with the SSAIB. |
|
Every
installation carried out by Registered Installers must be issued
with a Certificate of Conformity. This is a declaration signed
by the Registered Installer that the installation conforms with
British or European Standards and with the agreed specification.
If, by the time of commissioning (handing over) of the system,
you have not received such a certificate, ask the installer
for it. It is a valuable document - keep it safe. |

| REGISTERED
SECURITY SYSTEMS, COMPANIES and TECHNICAL STANDARDS |
| Installers
on the SSAIB Roll are required to carry out their work
with materials of good quality, installed by competent
installers who are adequately supervised. All security
installation work carried out by SSAIB registered Installers
must conform to the current editions of the relevamt British
or European Standards. After a full and detailed inspection,
all installers Registered by the SSAIB sign an understanding
to work to these standards and are regulary re-inspected
by SSAIB inspectors to ensure they continue to do so.
Those whose work falls below the required standards are
removed from the Roll. |

|
| EMERGENCY
SERVICE |
|
All
Registered Installers have a 24 hour emergency callout
facility. Ensure that you know this procedure for emergency
callout so that, if any problems occur with your system,
you can contact the Registered Installer to have it
rectified.

|
| REGULAR
MAINTENANCE |
|
|
| Excellent
as modern technology may be, it is still essential that your
system is checked and serviced at regular intervals. All Registered
Installers offer a comprehensive maintenance service and we
strongly advice you take advantage of it. |

|
| ELECTRICAL
CONNECTIONS |
|
|
| Recent
regulations hav ecome into force making it an offence to engage
a person to make permanent connections to any part of an electrical
installation unless they are competent to do so, within the
meaning of British Standard 7671 (1992) (IEE Wiring Regulations
16th Edition). If anyone other than a competent person installs
the mains connections to any system, and an accident occurs
as a result, both the customer and the person that carried out
are legally responsible. |
