Certified by ASIAL, the leading security association of Australia, the ASIAL Class 5 certification is the gold standard for security systems in Australia and New Zealand. It is based on the AS/NZS 2201.1:2007 standard for intruder alarm systems, which involves rigorous testing and strict compliance to ensure maximum reliability and effectiveness.

This certification is intended for systems installed in environments where any breach could result in catastrophic consequences, such as government agencies, banking institutions, data centers, correctional facilities, energy utilities, and other critical infrastructure.

A Class 5 system is defined by its ability to withstand sophisticated attempts at tampering or intrusion while maintaining seamless communication with its monitoring station. This includes encryption, detailed maintenance protocols, and constant system supervision to limit vulnerabilities.

Certification for a Class 5 intruder alarm is based on the whole solution implementation, not just the technology alone. Detailed documentation, operating procedures, and regular maintenance are required by an authorized provider, with any faults to be rectified as soon as possible.  

This is followed by detailed reporting which is signed and sighted by both the technician and client. The report will include alterations required to maintain compliance and any recommendations for performance improvement.
