ASSOCIATIONS & TRAINING
A MARK OF EXCELLENCE – IN
APPROACH AND APPLICATION
SSAIB is the leading certification body for organisations providing
security systems and services and/or fire detection and alarm systems.
» FOUNDED IN 1994, SSAIB PROMOTES
high standards of service and is focused
on serving the certification needs of
organisations providing fire safety and
security-related services throughout the
UK and the Republic of Ireland.
SSAIB certification is a mark of excellence.
Their approach is inclusive of small and
larger providers alike and they have some
1,850 companies registered, which means
that they represent the greatest number of
security service providers in the sector.
Third-party certification plays an
increasingly important role in enabling
firms to compete in the marketplace,
while access to some market sectors may
be conditional on having it.
Through participation in standards
development at national and European
level, SSAIB helps to shape the nation’s
security and safety standards – thus being
able to inform and thereby informing
others of standard issues that might impact
upon service providers and end-users.
SSAIB continue to review the range of
schemes they offer to ensure that they
meet the needs of both the marketplace
and registered firms.
SSAIB schemes, which comply with all
Police policies (England, Wales, Scotland,
Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic),
both serve and rely upon good working
relationships with a number of influential
groups within the sectors in which they
operate, not least the Police, fire services,
insurers and industrial and commercial
clients.
Insurers - often as a condition of their
underwriting - place particular demands
on security and fire safety system
providers. In the event of an incident,
insurers will need to be satisfied that all
reasonable precautions have been taken
to mitigate risk.
The costs associated with losses in the
aftermath of an incident are not just limited
to the immediate losses; such incidents
often lead to longer term consequential
losses to the business.
However, by becoming an SSAIBcertificated
installer, this will minimise the
likelihood of such events from happening
and demonstrate that all reasonable steps
have been taken to prevent it.
SSAIB offers a wide range of certification
schemes to meet the needs of service
providers, regulators and customers.
