[Legislation & Standards In The Usa]

Howdy:-

I do not work in the United States market but I am close to a number of people who do.  In the U.S. security services generally are regulated by each individual state.  Some states are wide open - no requirement for licensing or training - other states require licenses, training and formal exams. 

Are you interested in any particular state, if so please let me know and I can likely give some guidance where you should look for more information.

 

Just a comment about UL - from a security point of view they establish "Standards" but in actual fact standards by themselves do not have the force of law.  However, when a standard in referenced in a code or regulation, then because of the reference they are enforceable.
