Do any California jurisdictions require CP-01 standard for new installations and/or as a remedy for chronic abusers?

• A. No
• B. Yes
• C. Only for new installations
• D. Only as remedy for abusers

Answer: (B)

The idea being tested is that CP-01 is adopted by some California jurisdictions as a required standard, either for new installations or as a remedy for chronic abusers. CP-01 is a set of minimum criteria used to ensure alarm systems are designed, installed, and maintained to a reliable level. Because cities or counties want to curb false alarms and improve system performance, they may mandate CP-01 compliance when a new system is installed. They may also apply CP-01 as a remedy when a user has a history of false alarms, requiring upgrades or specific actions to bring the system into compliance. This means there are real cases where the standard is required in one or both situations, so the correct answer is Yes.
