For alarms and security.

  • In England, Wales and Northern Ireland, the police ask for a system’s URN to be quoted in all communication about its installation (NPCC).
  • In England, Wales and Northern Ireland, the police URN fee stays the customer’s even when the installer pays it. The installer’s own charges are shown on the invoice apart from that fee (NPCC).
  • HMRC puts installing burglar alarms and security CCTV outside CIS. Digging and concrete posts for the cameras are inside it, as are gates, barriers and lighting systems (CISR14290).
