T
he National Security Screen
Association (NSSA) is proud to
announce the roll-out of the NSSA
Accreditation Program.
The scheme has been designed to provide
members with the peace of mind that
the products they manufacture meet
the requirements of Australian Standard
(AS) 5039 Security Screen Doors and
Security Window Grilles. This also gives
consumers the confidence that products
purchased from an NSSA member carry the
endorsement of third party accreditation
through the Australian Window Association’s
(AWA) NATA accredited Inspection Agency.
The program was favourably received by
existing members during the trial stage and
has now expanded to all NSSA members
going forward. The NSSA is proud to
make this program available to members
as the only NATA accredited program for
security doors and grilles in Australia and
is committed to providing its members
with independent assurance of technical
competence in their field.
The objectives of the Accreditation Scheme
are:
• To ensure that members manufacture
their products in accordance with the
