What is ULC and why does it matter?

ULC are the Underwriters’ Laboratories of Canada. They are an independent product safety testing, certification and inspection organization. ULC sets forth certain standards that all security installations should abide to. ULC certified installations are usually only required for commercial properties, or multi-family buildings. ULC certified installations will require a yearly inspection and testing of the system to ensure its functionality. Monitoring stations however should be ULC certified, as they provide a 24 hour service, that should be up to a certain standard as is set forth by ULC. The guidelines that are set forth by ULC involve the power distribution and backup requirements, routing of wiring, the way a panel should be programmed and so much more. Our monitoring station is fully ULC certified providing you with the standards of monitoring that you should be able to expect.
