Our Schemes

SSAIB offers a wide range of product certification schemes with the electronic security; monitoring; guarding services and fire sectors.

All SSAIB schemes demonstrate compliance with relevant British or European standards, SSAIB codes of practice or associated criteria. Many of SSAIB’s schemes are independently assessed and monitored by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS). Accreditation by UKAS demonstrates that SSAIB operates its certification activities in an impartial, competent and independent way.

In addition to our own schemes, SSAIB is also an approved assessing body for the Security Industry Authority (SIA) Approved Contractor Scheme (ACS) - for more information on the SIA Approved Contractor Scheme (click here).  

 

All Schemes require a competent management system to be in place, but they do not need providers to have ISO 9001: 2000 management systems certification. However, an effective management system, which may be compliant with ISO 9001 requirements, will provide a structured approach and help clarify and achieve business aims and objective. SSAIB offers ISO 9001: 2000 in all of the above areas to compliment its product certification schemes. In addition, with the growing concern for environmental management, SSAIB also offers ISO 14001: 2004 Environmental Management Systems Certification.
