The higher the class, the more safeguards are built in. Most DIY radio alarms are class 1 up to 3.

You will need to fit class 6 for police response.

The new standard for wirefree is EN 50131-5-3, which will replace BS 6799:1986: in the near future.

It already has done!

PD6662 was amended in January to reference EN50131-5-3 (see AMD 16155), this divides wirefree equipment into 4 grades as with the rest of the EN50131 series.

BS6799 is no more.

Thanks,

Mark
