National Monitoring Center has announced that it has been awarded the ANSI/TMA AVS-01 certification, as one of the first monitoring centers in the US to achieve this distinction.

The company notes that the certification underscores its commitment to delivering the highest alarm verification and security response standards.

AVS-01 certification

Developed by The Monitoring Association (TMA), UL Solutions and other key stakeholders, the AVS-01 standard establishes best practices for alarm monitoring to ensure first responders receive accurate, prioritized information.

The certification enhances the effectiveness of emergency communication.

The AVS-01 standard provides a structured approach for identifying the level of verified human presence and potential threat, helping first responders make faster, more informed decisions.

To earn this certification, NMC had to meet numerous requirements for classifying and reporting alarm events.

“Innovation, excellence and public safety”

Woodie Andrawos, President, NMC commented: “Earning AVS-01 certification highlights our commitment to innovation, excellence and public safety.”

“By following this standard, we’re enhancing the reliability of alarm verification and strengthening our support for dealers and first responders,” he concluded.
