Yearly maintenance, with a certificate after every visit.

The Royal Decree of 25 April 2007 sets out how alarm systems are installed and maintained. Article 8 covers the yearly maintenance and the certificate you hand over afterwards.

What the rule says

Maintenance every year, a written certificate every time.

The user has the alarm system maintained every year. If a security company does the maintenance, it issues a written certificate after each one. The certificate shows three things:

  1. the system still meets the requirements;
  2. the system gives no false alarm signal;
  3. the system gives the right signal in case of a break-in.

Who it is for

Your customer must have it done. You provide the proof.

  • The user of the alarm system: the bakery, the pharmacy, the owners’ association. They are obliged to have the maintenance done every year.
  • The licensed alarm company doing the maintenance: you. You draw up the certificate and hand it to the user.
  • If you work with INCERT certification, the auditor asks for these certificates as evidence. To verify. Comes from a summary, not from the primary text
What you keep

Per installation, per year, easy to find.

The signed certificate

One per maintenance, with date, installation and the three checks.

The work order behind it

What the technician checked and found: batteries, detectors, siren, signal transmission.

The maintenance rhythm

When the last visit was and when the next is due, so no customer skips a year.

How Verelo does it

The work order becomes the certificate.

The technician ticks the three checks on the work order, on their phone. Verelo puts them in the certificate, the customer signs on site, and the pdf goes straight to the customer and into the file. If a check fails, Verelo blocks the certificate until the problem is solved. The next maintenance is on the list right away.
