You asked

Dear Transport for London, The Surveillance Camera Code of Practice applies to TFL in regard to the ULEZ as a statutory requirement It states. A system operator should consider any approved standards which appear relevant to the effective application of technology to meet the purpose of their system and take steps to secure certification against those standards. Such certification is likely to involve assessment by an independent certification body. Please supply your certification and assessment.
