If 100% of SA’s service buyers refused


installation of CCTV and the SA is able to
provide evidence to support the refusal, the
SA may be awarded with ‘NA’ for this criterion.

For deployment sites that are not supported


with evidence of service buyer’s refusal to
install CCTV, the number of such deployment
sites shall determine the number of
deployment sites which the SA is required to
submit for this criterion.

Example:
Out of 90 deployments sites, 50 refused to
install CCTV. We will take 40 as the number of
deployment sites which the SA
has. Therefore, based on the requirement of
this criterion, the SA is required to submit
evidence for 8 deployment sites.
