/ PD 6662:2017 + A1:2009 with BS 8243. Including System Design Awareness and Grading based on Risk Assessment

Introduction

It is important that all individuals engaged in the surveying, designing, installing and maintaining of electronic security systems to meet the requirements of PD 6662: 2017 should be aware of the basic contents of the Standard for Installation, EN 50131-1, and the document containing Alarm Systems Application Guidelines, DD CLC/TS 50131-7. Also, where required, those individuals should have an understanding of BS 8243, Intruder and Hold-Up Alarm Systems designed to generate Confirmed Alarms. In order to determine the correct Security Grade of the system, designers should also understand the concept of a security risk assessment and the grading criteria.

Who should attend?

System designers, installation, commissioning and maintenance engineers who need to be able to demonstrate their competence in the tasks they carry out. This course is designed for those who are, or will be, involved in the specification and provision of intruder alarm systems designed to meet the requirements of PD 6662: 2017 including BS 8243

To give an introduction to the contents and layout of standards
To indicate any areas where there are known problems and what action can be taken to resolve these
To give guidance on the industry’s interpretation of various aspects of the standard
To indicate how BS 8243 will relate to the new standard
To present NSI’s policy in respect of inspection and reporting
To introduce the underlying principles of graded systems and how to identify the appropriate grade if not dictated by the insurer

Course outcomes

On completion of this course delegates should:

Have a good understanding of the recommendations contained within EN 50131-1 + A1:2009 and DD CLC/TS 50131-7: 2010 and the interrelationship between these two documents

Appreciate any areas where there are known problems and what action can be taken to resolve these
Have a sound knowledge of the different security system grades and categories
