Standards and Guidance - SSAIB provides guidance and support to certificated companies and their clients on standards and technical issues.  We can help you to keep up-to-date with news of changes, which might impact upon your business, through publications, workshop and training events. As a Certification Body we participate in technical standards and regulations development to ensure that they are workable and relevant to the needs of the industry and the marketplace.

Insurance Approval - SSAIB certificated companies enjoy insurance approval. For most installations requiring a security or fire system for insurance purposes, the Insurer will insist that a Third Party Certificated provider (e.g. SSAIB certificated) is contracted.

Police Response - SSAIB satisfies ACPO and ACPO Scotland requirements, enabling all certificated companies to obtain URNs for their monitored systems. We have an excellent rapport with the Police generally, with ACPO and ACPO (Scotland) represented on SSAIB's governing Board.   

Third Party Certification - This demonstrates your confidence and competence as a company. Opening your business to independent scrutiny and your workmanship to independent inspection is the mark of a responsible and professional company. You will be proud to display the SSAIB logo as your mark of success. 

Listing of certificated companies - We produce and promote a listing of certificated companies in a directory format and on our website. Purchasers, specifiers and users of security services can access the Contact details of all certificated providers regionally and/or through a skill search.

Our Approach – SSAIB aims to provide guidance, help and support in a friendly, professional way, to certificated companies and companies seeking certification.
