Steps

  1. Confirm UL 681 covers installation and classification requirements for commercial/non-household burglar and holdup alarm systems, including central station, mercantile, bank, proprietary, and national industrial security systems.
  2. Note UL 681 addresses protective wiring/devices for premises, stockrooms, safes, vaults, night depositories, ATMs, and other security containers, plus holdup/duress initiating devices.
  3. For residential burglar alarm installations, use UL 1641 instead — UL 681 is not the correct reference for household systems.
  4. Reference UL 681 when specifying or certifying commercial extent-of-protection design, such as for insurance-credit certificates.
  5. Pull the current edition from UL's Standards Catalog (standardscatalog.ul.com / shopulstandards.com) before citing a specific edition, since editions are revised periodically.
