DD243: 2004 Compliance
Applicability
Please study this section if all of the following apply:
1. You are installing an alarm system in England, Wales or Northern Ireland.
2. The system has remote signalling and requires the local Police Authority to
issue a URN (Unique Reference Number).
3. You have chosen to use "Sequential Alarm Confirmation" to comply with
DD243: 2004.
For Installers in Scotland, the ACPOS-IAS policy document states:
"Confirmation technology (BS DD243 applies) is desirable for newly installed
systems but is not mandatory in terms of this policy."
Cooper Security therefore recommends that systems in Scotland are installed
to comply with DD243: 2004, and Installers obtain copies of the ACPOS policy
from their local Police Authority.
Note: The installed system will only fully comply with the requirements of DD243: 2004 if it
has been designed in accordance with this section.
