What does BSIS say about abandoning an alarm installation job?

• A. Abandonment of an alarm installation is allowed without penalty.
• B. No licensee shall abandon the completion of any install without legal excuse; violation may result in fines of $100, then $500 for each subsequent.
• C. Abandonment results in a mandatory retraining program.
• D. Abandonment has no regulatory consequences.

Answer: (B)

Licensees must complete an alarm installation and cannot walk away from a job without a legally recognized excuse. BSIS sets clear penalties for abandoning a project: an initial fine of $100, and $500 for each subsequent abandonment. This rule protects customers from unfinished, potentially insecure systems and holds installers to a professional standard. A legally recognized excuse might include safety concerns or other approved circumstances, but otherwise the installer is expected to see the installation through or arrange proper completion. The escalating fines serve as a deterrent to prevent repeat violations and ensure accountability.
