EN 50131-1an Insurance View

• Barry Faiers

25
Current standards are out of date!

• New standards are needed
• to keep up with new technologies.
• to improve reliability of systems.
• to help reduce false alarms.

26
What will the new standard bring?

• Problems!
• Training issues for installers and insurers.
• Better designed systems.
• Systems that are graded to meet the needs of the
  risk.

27
Who will decide on the Grade required?

• Insurer may advise their client.
• BUT.
• The installer must carry out a risk assessment
  and make a decision!
• No different to BS 4737 except that is has to be
  written down.

28
System grades in EN 50131 - 1

• Grade 1 - Lower than BS4737
• Bells only signalling
• No tamper detection on detectors
• Unlikely to be acceptable to insurers where an
  alarm system is required for insurance purposes

29
System grades in EN 50131 - 1

• Grade 2 -
• Remote signalling
• Some tamper detection required,
• but not detector orientation adjustment
• Probably acceptable to insurers in low risk
  situations

30
Types of risk where insurers might want a grade 2
system

• Offices with low value of computers
• Stationery retailers (ex computers).
• Carpet retailers (ex oriental).
• Manicurists health / beauty shops
• Bakers, florists, fishmongers.

31
System grades in EN 50131 - 1

• Grade 2X -
• Introduced in PD 6662 to allow Grade 2 systems to
  be installed without remote signalling.
• Probably acceptable to insurers for low domestic
  risks
• Unlikely to be acceptable for commercial risks.

32
System grades in EN 50131 - 1

• Grade 3
• Roughly equates to existing systems in commercial
  premises.
• BUT includes anti-masking of detectors.
• Probably required by most insurers for all but
  low commercial risks.
• Possibly high net worth domestic.

33
Types of risk where insurers might want a Grade 3
system

• Offices -modest computer values.
• Motor garages
• Warehouses - bulky low value items
• Public houses.
• Convenience stores (without ATMs).
• Builders merchants (? electric tools).
• Small industrial units (average cts.)

34
System grades in EN 50131 - 1

• Grade 4 -
• Equates to high security systems.
• Equipment not yet available.
• For a high security system use available Grade 4
  components, and Grade 3 for the remainder.

35
Types of risk where insurers might want a Grade 4
system

• Very high risk premises
• Computer warehouses
• Print design (high computer values)
• Spirit and cigarette wholesalers and bonds
• Premises handling large amounts of cash

36
Signalling

• Digital communicators are unlikely to be
  acceptable to insurers.
• For Grade 3 systems most insurers will require
  dual path signalling.
• Installers quoting for a Grade 2 or 3 system
  should always give a dual path option!
• For Grade 4 (or high risk Grade 3) always quote
  for dual signalling.

37
Help!

• Its good to talk!
• Talk to insurance surveyor
• Ask insurers or insurance broker.
• Consult with inspectorates and trade bodies.

38
Conclusion!

• It aint difficult,... its different!
• If in doubt, ASK!
• Lets all work together to give the customer a
  good system and.
• Reduce false alarms!

  that it has been specified by the manufacturer to
  operate in the correct environment.

43
Product Marking

• Only products where the standard has been
  published and are listed in PD6662 2004 will
  require to have product marking.
• However manufacturers should state that the
  component is suitable for use in a specific grade
  and environmental class.

44

The impact of EN Standards on monitored systems
59
Upon the introduction of the EN Standards, all
signalling devices including digital
communicators MUST BE MONITORED either as a
single signalling path system or as part of a
DUAL PATH SIGNALLING SYSTEM.
The frequency of that monitoring will depend on
the level of European Grade ascertained from a
Risk Assessment of the premises
60

Monitoring frequency and EN requirements
To comply with Grade 2 - EN Standard The primary
path must be checked / report fault within25
hours The secondary path must be checked /
report in 25 hours
To comply with Grade 3 - EN Standard The primary
path must be checked / report fault within 5
hours The secondary path must be checked / report
in 25 hours
To comply with Grade 4 - EN Standard The primary
path must be checked / report fault within 3
minutes The secondary path must be checked /
report in 5 hours
redcares primary path reports within 45 seconds
and the secondary path reports within 3 minutes
61
Alarm Transmission systems and compliance with
European Standards
62
EN 50136 - 1 - 1 1998
Alarm transmission system performance
criteria The security classification of an alarm
transmission system is defined as the combination
of five parameters D transmission time
speed of delivery M maximum acceptable
transmission time T frequency of checks to
identify/report faults S substitution
security I information security Within each
of these parameters there are difference levels
of acceptance. The grade the signalling can be
used for will depend on the level achieved
63
Compliance with Parameters

• Parameter D speed of delivery
  redcare
  
• Highest level required D4 - under 10 seconds
  D4
• Parameter M - maximum acceptable delivery time
• Highest level for maximum acceptable time M4
  -under 20 seconds M4
• Parameter T frequency of checks to
  identify/report faults
• T1 (32 DAYS) to T6 (20 seconds) T5 primary
  path T4 secondary path
• Parameter S substitution security/detection
• S0 (no measures) to S2 (stringent measures eg.
  encryption) S2
• Parameter I information protection
• I0 (no measures) to I3 (measures to prevent
  unauthorised reading and modification of
  information transmitted)

EN 50136 - 1 - 3 1998 Requirements for systems
with Digital Communicators using the PSTN
Page 4 - para 5 of EN 50136 - 1 - 3 states
- Alarm transmission systems within the scope of
this standard shall comply with the requirements
in EN 50136 - 1 - 1 (There are no exclusions here
from the parameters of D,M, T,S and I, which
are the requirements of EN 50136 - 1 - 1 Digital
Communicators must therefore be monitored and be
able to report faults within the time frames
required by the appropriate grade
65
Grade 4 requirements for a dual path signalling
system

primary signalling path
secondary signalling path
66
redcare exceeds the highest requirements of all
the European grades from 1 to 4
redcare can be specified to protect ALL levels of
grade at no extra cost
67
Why will ALL signalling providers have to now
monitor both paths ?

• To report the loss of both signalling paths To
  meet the requirements for confirmation and police
  response NOW
• To comply with Table 3 - Fault reporting time in
  EN 50136-1-11998 and Tables 10 11 of EN
  50131-11997 - (Revision)

68
Indication to Control Indicating Equipment (CIE)

• Revision in EN50131-1 1997 Table 8 deals with
  indications and includes fault conditions (see
  Table 1) as mandatory for all grades of system
• Table 1- Faults - includes Alarm Transmission
  System(s) if a system is required to have two
  signalling paths, a fault in either path has to
  be indicated
• Prevention of Setting setting of an I HAS, or
  part thereof shall be prevented when one or more
  of the conditions shown in Table 4 is present
• Table 4 Prevention of setting includes Alarm
  Transmission System fault optional for grade 1
  mandatory for grades 2 to 4

69

redcare has been thoroughly independently tested
against the EN Standards by the BRE and has
achieved Grade 4 status.
Transparency to industry is essential
Independent testing is the only way to verify
compliance to specific grades
70
leading the way in technology

• Way ahead in continuous monitoring
• If primary path compromised, polling of secondary
  path commences immediately at any time - in
  both set and unset condition
• Loss of secondary path reported within 3 minutes
• No additional line required to avoid disruption
  of business when landline path is being polled
  redcare is non dialling technology
• No extra cost when either the landline or GSM
  path is being polled redcare is non dialling
  technology
• Way ahead in indication to CIE
• Loss of either signalling path to CIE
• Configurable on basic GSM stu no extender board
  required no extra cost
• Way ahead in meeting the requirements of UK
  Insurers

Why me

• Been in the Industry for 24 Years
• Have Installed and will give telephone support
  practical training to our engineers.
• Heavily involved with BSIA and NSI
• Thanks to Martin Halliday who proposed me I now
  Chairman of BSI Committee GW1-2
• Currently reviewing DD243
• Optimist by nature. Arranged 5 review meetings
  ending in Mid May

75
Period of Dual Running12 months?

• Thanks to Geoff Tait he given you the Overall
  view of the European Standards.
• May aim is discuss how it will affect the Alarm
  Installer, the end users, and the Insurer.
• If you start planning now, you wont see the seam
• No Rocket Science. - Based on Two Standards
• PD6662 and DD243 Both been out before.
• DD 243 will and should be known to you all
• PD6662 is a Highbred of Old BS and EN50131

76
Cannot purchase either!

• Simple BS4737 Withdrawn not forgotten.
• Duel Running 12 Months of Adjustment.
• Industry knows contents of PD6662
• Presenters Manufacturers Inspectors
• DD243 2002 is well known to the Industry but I
  made reference to IMMEDIATE REVIEW
• How do we cope
• Guess the changes to DD243 ? Dangerous
• Committee of 9 Industry experts Chairman

77
Scope of DD243 has not changed

• The Main Plank of the Scope was to include
  recommendations intended to minimize the
  likelihood of false alarms.
• Alterations cannot be drastic so we can plan.
• Can I purchase equipment Probably not yet.
• Manufacturers have been reluctant to produce the
  Kit for a Dying Standard, hence New PD6662-2004

78
What's was the Problem

• The reason for delay was that it had always been
  agreed in Europe, that until a complete suite of
  European Standards, were published there would be
  no pressure to change.
• With this knowledge no one pushed the industry to
  complete the EN50131 suite
• Until Last Year when someone in Brussels turned
  the Euro Standards on it head.

79
Problem ? No, an Opportunity

• Insurance companies want to know that when
  specifying a BSIA, NACOSS, or an SSAIB companies
  the specification is fit for the purpose. Most
  reputable companies have done this or years.
  Seamless transition
• Under BS4737 3 Components a System.
• Regrettably some approved installers could not
  care less, providing they won the job.
• PD6662 will be their Waterloo

80
An Opportunity

• An opportunity to have a level Playing field.
• Opportunities dont come cheep as Insurance
  Companies now demand RISK ASSESMENT
• You and I call it a commonsense approach.
• If you haven't a Risk System, BT Red have.
• Its an opportunity to be a Professional Design,
  Installation and Service Company
• Its an opportunity and sell the benefits of an
  Integrated Security Solution - Not Alarms

81
An Opportunity

• An opportunity to charge a proper rate.
• An opportunity to make a decent Profit for all
  the 80 hour weeks you have worked.
• An opportunity to make a similar return made by
  the Industry leaders on TURNOVER 18.
• A Proper return is no automatic right, look at
  the Industry leaders, its been achieved by a
  lot of professionalism.

82
What's required

• An Understanding of What in PD6662
• Annex F a pre-publication copy of the
  EN50131-1 16 Feb 2004.
• And EN50131- 3 DDTS 6 7 DDTS
• A graded Approach, ABI will cover this area
• 1 Low Risk
• 2X Low to Medium
• 2 Low to Medium
• 3 Medium to High
• 4 High Risk

83
What else?

• A New and structured approach to the survey
• A Question, Answer and recording approach
• Dont accept any liability for value, few of us
  are trained to value, so record all information
  as part of the quotation
• You need to understand risk
• You need to know the area risk
• You need to know Police response times
• You must learn new skills or redefine those you
  have used for years.

84
Risk

• When Surveying, specify how you quantify what is
  risk
• My approach is to ensure an intruder cannot
  arrive in an area of SIGNIFICEANT value without a
  confirmed alarm being generated.
• So how does that statement work
• I inform my customers that my companies approach
  is, anything that exceeds 1000 on the first
  loss is of significant value.
• This means that intrusion in an area of
  significant value has to generate a confirmed
  Alarm

85
Grading

• If you fail to catalogue the premises correctly
  you will expose your company to liability.
• If having obtained the information and fail to
  adequately cover the premised you will again
  expose your company.
• If you are Hell bent on winning jobs by price you
  will run the risk of under specifying there by
  exposing your company to a claims.
• The Surveyor needs to understand the PD6662
  grading system dont assume, if in doubt ask
  the Insurers.

86
Tease out the information

• If Customers hold information back or areas of a
  site have no value, specify these fact in your
  specification, you will have no risk.
• Dont Forget the item of the lowest grade
  installed is the grade of the system.
• Equipment will be graded by the Manufacturer
• The Surveyor must have an understanding of the
  hardware, communication and panel programming.
• If the Surveyor gets it wrong and you install a
  grade 2 system and need to upgrade to a grade 3
  it will be an expensive mistake.

87
Maintenance records

• Same as Old BS4737 - Cant sell the Helicopter!
• Always available, 4 Hour response - BUT
• Grade 1 Annually
• Grade 2X Annually
• Grade 2 2 Visits per Year or 1 Visit and
• Grade 3 1 Remote system check
• Grade 4 2 Visits per Year

88
Remote Systems Checks

• Written agreement
• Details of checks
• Where carried out from
• Remote checks should not commence until
  communication
• Established by CIE or
• By manual command at CIE or
• By CIE following an initiating call from remote
  location

89
Remote Systems Checks

• ARC to be informed
• Before remote checks commence
• When completed
• Remote checks not to generate false alarms
• If IAS is set, remote checks must not compromise
  operation
• Detailed records to be maintained
• Problems to be reported to user and remedial
  action agreed

90
Remote Systems Checks

• Checks
• a review of the event log, for successful setting
  and unsetting
• a check on any zones that are on soak test
• a check on any zones that are disabled/isolated
• a check to ensure that the time and date of the
  CIE clock are correct
• a check on the normal and standby power supplies,
  for correct functioning (see note)

91
Remote Systems Checks

• a check that all voltage and current levels are
  within acceptable tolerances
• a check on the recent activity of all detectors
  which would be expected to operate during the
  normal occupation of the building. There should
  be a written agreement with the client that
  details those detectors that will operate during
  the normal occupation of the supervised premises

92
Remote Systems Checks

• a check for the correct operation of any alarm
  transmission system, in conjunction with the
  alarm receiving centre. Where multiple signaling
  is installed, all signaling paths should be
  checked
• A check on the normal and standby power supplies
  of all alarm transmission equipment for correct
  functioning (see note)

93
Qualification

• National foreword included in BSEN 50131-72004
  stating recommendation for qualifications are set
  aside.
• Not for long, EN501-7 Application Guidelines is a
  DDTS and will be reviewed in two years.
• From today's presentations you will realise that
  without a large input of Professionalism many
  Companies will not survive.

94
Qualification Time is running out

• The BSIA is working with SITO the National
  Occupational Standards Setting Body to ensure
  that the standards are incorporated into
  appropriate qualifications offered by such
  institutes such as City Guilds.
• SIA have introduced qualification into Manned
  guarding - Cost of covering all operators has
  been overwhelming.
• We must not leave it until the Last Minute
• Fast track, NVQs, City Guild 185-2

95
Closing Thoughts Give me a date

• We waiting for new Panels that are European 50131
  with DD243, Many Manufacturers are close to
  having developed hardware but the software cannot
  be finalised until the contents of DD234 2004 is
  known. I expect to be installing PD6662 Systems
  by January 2005.
