Requirements are also set for the equipment that is necessary for this. You could think of equipment such as the transmitter, receiver, the service provider who receives the alarm, etc. The relevant standard does not prescribe any specific technique, but outlines performance requirements for the alarm transmission system. The supplier must demonstrate compliance with these requirements.
For whom?
Primary: Alarm Transmission Service Providers, Monitoring Centres, Alarm Receiving Centres, installers, suppliers and manufacturers.
Secundary: Fire department, police, other emergency services, assurance companies, companies with critical infrastructural processes.
Process steps
The K21030 Alarm Transmission Systems contains requirements that the Alarm Transmission System must meet, as well as the assessment methods to determine that the requirements are met. In addition, requirements have been set for the quality system.
Certification process
Certification according to K21030 starts with an application where you specify which scopes you would like to be certified. Based on this application you will receive a fee proposal. You can enter into a certification agreement with Kiwa based on this fee proposal. Kiwa assesses whether the criteria for certification are met based on an independent acceptance audit. Certification will follow upon a positive audit outcome. However, if non-compliances are identified, you shall rectify these first.
After the initial certification, annual inspections are conducted to establish that the certified processes and completed works continue to comply with the requirements.
