SPC vs SVG

What are SPC and SVG drawings?

Two terms often used together for different things: one is a SIRA certification, the other a file format. A project may need one, both or neither.

What is a Security Plan Certificate (SPC)?

SIRA’s approval of the security system plan for important facilities and buildings in Dubai, through its Security Plans Certification service.

Stands for
Security Plan Certificate (Security Plans Certification)
Issued by
SIRA
Typical inputs
For camera and alarm systems, SIRA lists the trade licence, a planning map and the projects plan.
Applies to
Activities and buildings that require a security plan, as SIRA lists them.

What is an SVG CCTV drawing?

A CCTV or security layout saved as an SVG file: Scalable Vector Graphics, a vector format that stays sharp at any size.

Stands for
Scalable Vector Graphics
What it is
A drawing file format, not a certificate or an approval
Used for
Floor-by-floor camera and device layouts, where the applicable SIRA or VideoGuard workflow asks for SVG files.
Applies to
Projects that require it. Not every SIRA project needs SVG layouts.
SPC support

SPC support for SIRA security plans

Where an activity or building needs a security plan, the approved SPC is one of the documents SIRA’s Security System Certification requires, and SIRA’s terms have it stamped by both the security consultancy company and the security systems installation company. The drawings are what the plan is built on.

SVG & layouts

SIRA SVG drawing & CCTV layout preparation

What the drawing work covers for SIRA CCTV drawings in Dubai. Each layout is drawn from the floor plans and, where needed, a site review, so it matches what is, or will be, installed.

  1. 01

    Camera locations & IDs

    Each camera placed on the plan with its own reference, so the drawings, the camera schedule and the installed system use the same IDs.

  2. 02

    Floor-by-floor layouts

    A layout for each floor or zone, showing camera coverage and device positions.

  3. 03

    Equipment references

    Recorders and storage, and access control or intruder alarm interfaces, marked where the system includes them.

  4. 04

    SVG preparation & conversion

    Where the applicable SIRA or VideoGuard workflow asks for SVG layouts, we prepare them, or convert existing drawings, floor by floor, with cameras mapped to their installed positions.

  5. 05

    As-built drawings

    After installation, the drawings are updated to show what was actually installed.

The process

Our SPC & SVG drawing process

Six stages from first review to a final technical package. Timing depends on project size, drawing quality, the information available and the revisions needed.

  1. Stage 01AMSS

    Document review

    We review your plans, site details and any existing drawings, comments or observations.

  2. Stage 02AMSS

    Requirement confirmation

    We identify the SIRA and security-plan requirements that apply to the activity or building.

  3. Stage 03AMSS

    Site / system review

    Where needed, we survey the site or review the installed system, so the drawings match what is there.

  4. Stage 04AMSS

    Drawing preparation

    We prepare or update the CCTV and security layouts within our licensed scope, in SVG where required.

  5. Stage 05AMSS + consultancy

    Consultancy & revision coordination

    Where an approved security consultancy is required, we coordinate its comments and the revisions that follow.

  6. Stage 06AMSS supports · SIRA issues

    Final technical package

    We provide the final drawings and support the relevant submission or next project stage. Any certificate is SIRA’s to issue.

Existing drawings

Need to correct or update existing drawings?

Drawings go out of date. We review them against the site and prepare the revisions needed when:

  • The drawing no longer matches the site
  • Cameras have moved
  • New cameras have been added
  • The floor layout has changed
  • Consultant comments have been received
  • SIRA observations have been received
  • The file format needs updating, such as to SVG
  • The existing plan is incomplete
  • A previous contractor’s drawings are outdated

Revisions are prepared within our scope; acceptance rests with the consultancy and SIRA where they apply.

The wider process

How SPC / SVG fits into the wider SIRA process

Security-plan and drawing work is one part of SIRA compliance. For full support, including CCTV installation, audit preparation, rectification and certification coordination, see our SIRA Approval & Compliance Services. The systems themselves are covered under CCTV & Video Surveillance, Access Control and Intruder Alarm.

SPC & SVG FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01What does SPC mean in SIRA?

Security Plan Certificate. It is issued through SIRA’s Security Plans Certification service, SIRA’s approval of the security system plan for important facilities and buildings in Dubai.

02What is an SVG CCTV drawing?

A CCTV or security layout saved as an SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) file, a vector format that stays sharp at any scale. It is prepared where the applicable SIRA or VideoGuard workflow asks for SVG layouts.

03Is an SVG drawing the same as an SPC?

No. The SPC is a certificate SIRA issues for a security plan; SVG is a file format for drawings. A project may need one, both or neither.

04Who issues the Security Plan Certificate?

SIRA. Its terms require the SPC to be stamped by both the security consultancy company and the security systems installation company. AMSS prepares and coordinates drawings within its licensed scope; it does not issue the SPC.

05What documents are needed to prepare the drawings?

Floor or architectural plans, the trade licence or activity details, any existing drawings, layouts or camera schedules, consultant comments or SIRA observations if you have them, and the site details and project stage.

06Can AMSS update an existing CCTV drawing?

Yes. We review existing drawings against the site and the installed system, then update them for moved or added cameras, layout changes or a new file format, including SVG where required.

07Can AMSS help if drawings receive comments or require revision?

Yes. Send us the consultant’s comments or SIRA’s observations; we review what needs to change, prepare revisions within our scope and coordinate with the consultancy where one is involved. Acceptance remains with the consultancy and SIRA.

08How long does drawing preparation take?

It depends on project size, drawing quality, the information available and revision requirements, so we confirm timing after reviewing your documents. SIRA lists its own processing period for Security Plans Certification separately: three business days (checked September 2026).
