  protectorate  or  dependency  of  the  United  States  to  engage in the
  business of installing, servicing or maintaining security or fire  alarm
  systems  upon  compliance  with standards and requirements not lower, in
  the judgment of the secretary  of  state,  than  those  of  this  state,
