Which statement about CP-01 standards is true?

• A. It applies to all new installations in California
• B. It is not used in California
• C. It is required in some California jurisdictions for new installations or as a remedy for chronic abusers
• D. It applies only to existing installations

Answer: (C)

CP-01 standards are local requirements adopted by some California jurisdictions to regulate alarm systems, especially to curb false alarms and control how new installations are set up. The statement that it is required in certain California jurisdictions for new installations or as a remedy for chronic abusers captures the actual use: it isn’t a statewide mandate, but a local one, and it serves two purposes in those places—governing new installations and providing remedies for repeated false-alarm offenders. Because CP-01 isn’t uniform across the entire state, it won’t apply to every new installation statewide. It also isn’t limited only to existing installations, which would miss the intended application to new systems and to chronic abusers. In California, some cities or counties implement CP-01 as part of their local alarm-control framework, shaping how new systems are installed and how repeat offenders are addressed.
