Protecting business assets, such as equipment, inventory and sensitive data, is critical for maintaining operations and long-term competitiveness. Unauthorized access, theft and vandalism can lead to costly disruptions.
Burglaries remain a widespread issue across U.S. commercial properties. In 2023 alone, more than 228,000 burglaries were reported across businesses, with over 42,000 incidents occurring in office buildings.[3] These crimes contribute to billions of dollars in annual losses.[4]
To mitigate this risk, many organizations depend on reliable physical security and intrusion detection technologies. Manufacturers play a vital role in this ecosystem by delivering products that align with clearly defined performance expectations.
UL 2610, the Standard for Commercial Premises Security Alarm Units and Systems, was developed to streamline multiple legacy standards into one cohesive set of technical requirements. First published in 2018, UL 2610 applies to the testing and certification of security system hardware used in commercial environments.
This Standard supports the evaluation of devices designed to detect unauthorized entry and transmit signals to designated authorities or security personnel. UL 2610 focuses exclusively on product-level certification rather than service-level alarm system programs.
