  • The 'Control of Noise' Code of Practice on Noise from Audible Intruder Alarms states that the alarm-holder should, within 48 hours of installing a new alarm system or of taking over an existing one, notify the local police of the names, addresses and telephone numbers of at least 2 keyholders. The code also states that the alarm-holder should, at the same time, notify the local environmental health authority that the alarm has been newly installed or that he has taken over responsibility for an existing alarm system, and that he should tell the local authority the address of the police station to which notification of keyholders has been made.

    Please fill in the key holder form for your alarm system and print a copy off to send to the local police and local environmental health authority.

  • The government have issued a code of practice called the Control of Noise (Code of Practice on Noise from Audible Intruder Alarms) Order 1981 (SI 1829).

    The code gives guidance on reducing unnecessary disturbance caused by audible intruder alarms.

    It is not, in itself, an offence not to comply with the code.

    However, in legal proceedings regard may be had to whether the code has been complied with - firstly in order to prove a nuisance but also, importantly from the perspective of those responsible for alarms, to defend an action. It is therefore important.

    The code also says that the alarm owner should notify the local authority of the existence of the alarm and notify the police of two or more alarm key-holders.

    The key-holders should be well versed in operating and silencing the alarm, be telephone subscribers and be able to get to your property relatively quickly, ideally within 20 minutes.
