Our Workshop

During our workshop we familiarize you with the assessment and certification procedures for alarm receiving centers. The basis for this is our tried-and-tested TSA method (TSA: Trusted Site Alarm Receiving Center), which takes into account all technical, operational and organizational requirements of European Norm EN 50518.

During the workshop we present our criteria catalog TSA.EN50518 to you in detail, including its requirements, assessment aspects and related test procedures, in order to provide you with the ideal preparation for the upcoming testing and certification process. In addition, you receive an initial assessment of the certifiability of your alarm receiving center, as well as information on possible cases of non-conformance with the test criteria and existing documentation.

Of course you will have the opportunity to ask your project-specific questions at any time.

Design evaluation

Even during the design phase, the physical security and availability of the future alarm receiving center plays a decisive role. We support operators and planners with the consideration and successful implementation of the technical, operational and organizational requirements of EN 50518 from the very beginning.

  • evaluation of the documentation, structural design, power supply, security & monitoring systems, etc. on the basis of the draft planning, schematics and concept description
  • an informative assessment report as the basis for plan corrections
  • coordination meetings between planners and TÜVIT / TÜV NORD technical experts
     

Your Advantages
