GUARDIAN SECURITY SOLUTIONS IS ULC CERTIFIED:
ULC's Fire and Security Alarm System certificate programs provide Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJs), Insurance Companies, and Municipalities/Government with a convenient, reliable way to identify code complying Fire Alarms and Security Systems. These programs take the widely recognized ULC mark and place it on an installed system in the form of a certificate. A variety of AHJs, government bodies and insurers around Canada have found these programs to be a great benefit when assessing risk and determining ongoing code compliance.
ULC lists alarm companies to determine compliance with ULC standards and Nationally recognized codes. Once a company goes through this evaluation process they are then capable of issuing certificates within their listing category. These certificates are generally issued when mandated by a requesting body to ensure compliance to National Standards. This site includes the documents needed to prepare for inspection and the forms needed to request certificates. ULC certificates can only be issued by ULC listed companies.

BENEFITS OF ULC CERTIFICATES
ULC Certificate Services programs are utilized by AHJs, government bodies and the insurance industry to verify appropriate levels of protection, performance and on-going maintenance. Key benefits to these groups include:
Certificated alarm systems are required to be maintained under the care and inspection service of the issuing alarm service company. A ULC Certificate indicates that the installation is inspected, tested and maintained by the Listed alarm service company. While it is important that installing companies be listed, it is even more important to request that an individual system be certificated and subject to ULC's annual inspection process to assure code compliance.
ULC certificate listings include only those alarm systems covered by an active, unexpired certificate. An alarm service company that has been listed by ULC under the service is not obliged to issue certificates on all of its systems. Only systems covered by a certificate can be inspected by ULC in accordance with program requirements.
