Steps
Review the Five Diamond program's five points of excellence on tma.us: third-party listing/inspection (e.g., UL, FM Approvals, or Intertek/ETL), customer service commitment, 100% operator certification via TMA's training series, TMA membership/participation, and false-dispatch reduction commitment.
Confirm the monitoring center holds active TMA membership, a prerequisite for the designation.
Get 100% of monitoring operators certified through TMA's course, with recertification required every three years.
Submit the Five Diamond application/renewal to TMA — the designation is granted and renewed annually, not permanent.
To verify a center's current status, check TMA's published Five Diamond list rather than relying on the company's own marketing claim.
Known gotchas
Designation is annual — a center's marketing may cite an old award year; confirm current-year status directly with TMA.
Video monitoring companies must be hosted by a UL 827-registered TMA-member data center to qualify under the program's expanded rules.
