WH International Response Center (WHIRC) recently received its Underwriter’s Laboratories (UL) listing as a central monitoring station for the 24th straight year, dating back to 1994. This means WHIRC has met or exceeded quality, safety and training standards set by UL. WHIRC is committed to exceeding UL's standards to ensure continuity of quality service to its customers.
Monitoring companies and standards and certifications companies such as UL are keeping a close eye on the rapid advances in technology. New requirements are in place for UL 827, which is the standard for central station alarm services, which take effect mid-2020. This UL standard update not only improves the security of all data and information, but also increases the dependability and redundancies to protect that data.
