It is the ambition of ISCVE to see the use of voice alarm standards written into building regulations, for building projects, where it makes sense to do so. It is also our ambition to see all stakeholders in future building projects, such as system designers, manufacturers, installers/integrators, system maintainers, to be qualified to agreed standards and ideally for all to become accredited members of ISCVE.

In order that we fully understand the voice alarm specification and installation processes better and how projects are undertaken, we are carrying out an international survey to understand the take-up and regulation of voice alarm systems in different markets around the world. We hope the valuable feedback and insights gained from the survey will help us understand where UK projects sit, compared to other countries in the world, which will help us understand where improvements, if any, can be made.

If you or your colleagues are engaged in Voice Alarm projects perhaps we can ask you to fill out the questionnaire to allow us to collect as many insights as possible.
