To demonstrate our commitment to our profession and customers, we have sought a number of industry approvals.

Security Systems and Alarms Inspection Board Registered Installer

The SSAIB is a non-profit organisation that is recognised by the police and insurers for independent inspection of electronic security system installers. SSAIB members have to demonstrate their ability to install systems that fully comply with British and European Standards. Members also have to carry specialist insurance to protect clients against wrongful advice or company failures. Regular screening of personnel including police checks is mandatory to ensure only employees of suitable character are placed in a position of trust.

United Kingdom Accreditation Service Recognition for Product Certification

UKAS recognition for the installation, corrective and preventative maintenance of intruder alarm systems in accordance with the requirements of the ACPO / ABI sector scheme.

To describe this simply, UKAS is the highest level of independent recognition available. Generally speaking, non-UKAS recognised firms are not able to apply for Police attendance to monitored intruder alarm systems – and this might (if not now – soon) be a condition of your insurance policy.

Our UKAS approval is monitored by the SSAIB.

Quality Management Recognition

I once wondered what relevance ISO9001 Quality Management had, to what is a technical profession. I can now say it has total relevance.

Our first goal when introducing a quality management system was to monitor our customers’ satisfaction levels. And this is the key goal of any quality system – to monitor your results so improvements can be made. Unless your results are recorded and regularly analysed, how can any firm know if what they are doing meets their customers’ expectations?

We would like to express our gratitude to External Quality Management Limited for assisting us in the preparation and introduction of our current quality system. Now that we have introduced our system, we are presently awaiting our ISO9001 inspection that will allow us to formally display the above logo.

The Police

We are presently registered with a number of police forces to allow us to apply for their attendance to security system activations within their force areas.

However, the police are not alarm or technical inspectorates – that is the job of the SSAIB or Guild of Master Craftsmen (above).

All UK Police Forces give the following advice to anyone interested in purchasing security systems:

“Members of the public seeking advice from the police about companies capable of installing remote signalling alarms will be advised to seek information from inspectorates directly.”

ABI Member Insurance Companies

Insurance companies will require different levels of protection depending on the type of cover you require and the risk that poses.

Each individual firm has its own criteria for security and what is acceptable. Please refer to your policy documents or contact your insurers directly to confirm their requirements. Failure to comply could invalidate claims. Check now!
