What is the meaning of tamper resistance in WCFS components?

• A. To prevent unauthorized access.
• B. To require regular battery replacements.
• C. To prevent unauthorized access or discharge.
• D. To reduce energy consumption.

Answer: (C)

Tamper resistance in WCFS components means the system is designed to resist tampering, so unauthorized people can’t access the discharge mechanism or trigger a discharge without proper authorization. Features like seals, tamper switches, locked housings, and monitoring that logs tamper events help ensure only approved actions release the extinguishing agent, protecting both safety and system integrity.

That’s why the best description is preventing unauthorized access or discharge—tamper resistance covers both stopping improper access to the components and preventing unapproved discharge. It isn’t primarily about battery replacements or reducing energy use, which are not the focus of tamper-resistant design.
