What is a Thatcham Device?
A Thatcham device is a car security system that has been submitted to Thatcham for compliance testing. Thatcham Research centre is a Government backed body that regulates safety and security of vehicles, e.g. giving a Whiplash evaluation and how easy it is to steal new vehicles. Aftermarket systems can also be submitted to Thatcham, and once approved they are given Thatcham Approval. Car alarms are given Cat 1 status and can be used when an Insurance company specifies a Category 1 device.
