The physical security and availability of the future alarm receiving centre already play a decisive role in the planning phase. We support companies, operators and planners in considering and successfully implementing the technical, operational and organisational requirements of EN 50518 right from the start. In this way, time-consuming and cost-intensive rescheduling and possible subsequent improvements can be proactively avoided.
The TÜV NORD criteria catalogue TSA.STANDARD offers a comprehensive set of rules for ensuring the physical safety and reliability of alarm receiving centres and technical control centres. It fulfils all the requirements of DIN EN 50518 and supplements these with additional features for functional safety at the highest level. With continuous updates, it enables effective certification and conformity assessment based on over 20 years of experience.
TÜV NORD's planning assessment supports operators and planners of alarm receiving centres and technical control centres in ensuring the conformity of their facilities with recognised standards such as DIN EN 50518. By checking the design planning, schematics and concept description for standard requirements, deviations can be identified at an early stage and corrected through planning changes. This ensures reliable planning and avoids time-consuming rescheduling in the implementation phase, enabling smooth certification.
The planning assessment offers several advantages for the tendering of new alarm receiving centres and technical control centres. It ensures that the required safety categories and standards are achieved, which is often required in tenders. The early evaluation and correction of the planning enables a cost-efficient approach that avoids time-consuming replanning and reworking in the implementation phase. It also offers greater planning certainty for operators and planners and creates optimum conditions for smooth certification.
The assessment should take place as early as possible in the planning process. Ideally within service phase 3 or 4 according to HOAI. In this way, structural errors and additional costs due to subsequent changes can be avoided.
Yes, even when converting or modernising existing buildings, a planning assessment can help to check and specifically adapt safety, structural and technical requirements.
As a rule, design plans, schematic diagrams, structural concepts and initial information on energy supply, access, transmission technology and operational organisation are sufficient.
The report contains a comprehensible assessment based on the TSA.STANDARD, including specific information on risks and deviations.
