“Each month a number of IQ companies among the hundreds in the program come up for recertification or apply for certification,” Tim Creenan said. “We are proud to recertify these 13 companies, who understand the value IQ certification brings as an independent seal of approval of companies that go above and beyond to become the elite of the industry.”

IQ certification is an installation quality certification program for security alarm systems. The goals of the voluntary program are to raise the overall installation quality of electronic security and life safety systems and reduce the burden and risks false alarms place on local, national and international police forces.
