Frequently asked questions
I make burglar alarm control panels and smoke detectors that send a signal to a security monitoring centre — is that 26.51.21 or another measurement code?
Yes, 26.51.21 is the right code when a burglar alarm or fire detector sends a signal to a control station. That is precisely the defining characteristic of this class. A flame or combustion detector that is not part of a connected alarm system instead falls under the other measuring instruments code, 26.51.29.
I only make flashing illuminated signs for safety signalling — is that 26.51.21 or an electrical equipment code?
No, illuminated signs and electrical signalling devices belong in 27.90.02, not here. 26.51.21 covers alarm systems that detect theft or fire and transmit the signal to a control centre. The deciding factor is the detection-plus-alarm function, not simple visual signalling.
I make PIR motion sensors — do they go in 26.51.21 if they end up in a burglar alarm, or in 26.51.10?
It depends on what you are selling. If you manufacture a complete burglar alarm system where the sensor sends a signal to a monitoring station, the code is 26.51.21. If you instead produce the motion detector as a standalone detection instrument, without the alarm system, it falls under the sensors of 26.51.10. What matters is whether you are selling the alarm or the individual sensor.
