The organization should follow the recommendations given in BS 10800:2020, 7.5.
The organization should determine the design, construction, layout and equipment requirements for its control rooms. The requirements should respond to the needs of staff using these facilities (e.g. accessibility). The level of design, construction, layout and equipment should be directly related to risks associated with customer contracts.
Where control rooms are outsourced, the organization should confirm that the control room(s) conform to BS 10800:2020, 7.5 and are fit for purpose.
5.2.2 Location within a secure facility
Control rooms should be situated within premises owned or leased by the organization, and to which the organization has access at all times. The control room should be within a soundly constructed building and, if not continuously staffed, should be protected by a remotely monitored intruder alarm conforming to PD 6662 and BS EN 5013 1-1. Where there is a shared occupancy, the intruder alarm system for the control room should be under the sole control of the organization.
