GDPR Regulation

If you require an access control system from us then we will request an image of the staff member, their full name & job title so that we can create an access badge. However once this has been created, all information and reference to them will be deleted to comply with GDPR. 


Should you then need replacement badges if any are lost or damaged, then we will re-request the information from yourselves.

Radium adhere to this policy and meet all the requirements laid out by the police force, so you can be sure that if you have Radium monitored system, the police will always respond should you receive an activation.

New Compulsory Requirements for ECS Cards


Since January 2021 there have been new requirements put into place for Fire, Emergency and Security Systems (FESS) Electrotechnical Certification Scheme (ECS) occupations.


This is to try and combat security systems and the like being installed by non-qualified personnel. This sets the qualification requirement at Level 3 for new entrants to the industry with several different routes for applicants to take depending on the industry they work within. This sets a minimum standard for those who install and maintain fire, emergency and security systems. This involves much training for the engineers and passing exams at the end in order to gain this qualification.
