ASIAL Certified Monitoring Centres
|
ASIAL operates a grading scheme for alarm monitoring centres. This is a well-respected system of independent inspections that check compliance with Australian Standard 2201.2:2004 (Intruder Alarm Systems - Monitoring Centres).
Typically the sort of items that are covered in the standard are:
|
- the construction of the centre, together with its physical and fire protection,
- access into the centre and its 'modus operandi',
- ventilation systems and emergency breathing equipment,
- power supply arrangements,
- communications (telephones, duress and radio),
- redundancy in the monitoring equipment,
- and its record-keeping
|
The ASIAL scheme seeks to provide customers with the reassurance that the standards applied at a monitoring centre are independently audited on a regular basis.

APPLICANTS PLEASE NOTE: AS 2201.2 includes a full checklist covering all aspects of the Standard. Further, a useful Pre-Grading Checklist is available that will assist applicants in preparing for their Certification (grading) inspection. This will be provided by email once an application is received by ASIAL. The checklist may also be useful for ASIAL-Certified monitoring centres to undertake their own in-house audits mid-term between formal grading inspections.

* The listed ASIAL Certified monitoring stations reflect those organisations who have gone through the grading system as per Australian Standard AS 2201.2-2004. ASIAL takes no responsibility for companies who may change their operation subsequent to certification.
