Euralarm presents Remote Services Guideline for alarm systems
Zug.– Euralarm has launched a document providing guidance and recommendations relating to Fire & Life Safety and Security alarm systems where remote access is required. These recommendations are intended for Euralarm members and other stakeholders of these systems.
The Remote Services Guideline contains the Euralarm expertise with intent to lead to standardization throughout Europe. It provides advice regarding the design, installation, operation and maintenance of the alarm systems which require remote access, along with recommendations concerning the systems used for such remote access.
The document consists of pre-standardization recommendations for contractual responsibilities as well as recommendations for the alarm system, the secure computer platform, the information transmission system and the operation of remote services.
The Remote Services Guideline also provides specific recommendations for use of remote services with fire & life safety alarm systems and with security systems. The document is completed with the environmental essentiality of these recommendations, as it effects the reduction of the carbon footprint of the service providers.
The Remote Services Guideline for alarm systems and remote services can be read or downloaded at the Euralarm website (www.euralarm.org).
