Risk Assessment

Risk Assessment is the term given to the new European Systems Standard EN 50131-1, which lays down a structured risk assessment procedure for designers of intruder alarm systems.

A properly completed risk assessment will lead to an appropriately designed and graded system. When designing a confirmable alarm system insurers expect alarm installers to take into account the need to detect intruders before they reach the target, as well as the need to have confirmation of detection.

Insurers are looking to the NSI (as part of the their inspection programmes) to ensure that installers carry out risk assessments professionally when designing systems and selecting a risk assessment grade.

State Digital Security, having obtained the NSI Gold Medal, will of course carry out a full risk assessment to offer the right grade of protection for your property and completely satisfy insurance requirements.
