UL 1981: Central Station Automation Systems

UL 1981 establishes the standards for central station automation systems, focusing on the integration, performance, and reliability of automated monitoring and control systems used in security applications. It emphasizes robust communication and system redundancy.

This standard applies to automation systems that centralize monitoring functions for a range of security applications, including burglar alarms, fire detection, and other emergency response systems. It covers both hardware and software components.

Intended users include central station technical staff, automation system integrators and Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories who rely on UL 1981 to validate central station facility systems. This standard helps aid rapid response during critical events.
