The New Standards

Everything you need to know

There have been significant changes to alarm signalling standards and terminology. Grades 2, 3 and 4 now have Single Path (SP) and/or Dual Path (DP)  equivalents. The catastrophic failure reporting times have also changed. The DualCom Pro 2 Range operates to these standards and in some cases exceeds them.
This is how the old and new standards apply to current CSL products:

Before 1st June 2019 - Old ATS Grade (EN50136-1:1998)
