Comprehensive certification schemes provide assurance to both service providers and consumers, fostering trust and credibility, writes SSAIB.
The Security Systems and Alarms Inspection Board (SSAIB) is the leading certification body in the fire and security industry, certifying over 2,200 organisations across multiple schemes in the UK & Ireland.
These schemes include Intruder Alarms, CCTV (VSS), Access Control, Fire Alarms, Fire Risk Assessments and more.
SSAIB certification is widely recognised and trusted, ensuring businesses meet the highest standards in safety, security and compliance.
Since its establishment in 1994, SSAIB has operated as a not-for-profit organisation, dedicated to raising industry standards and supporting security providers with rigorous, independent certification.
As a UKAS-accredited body, SSAIB conducts its certification activities with impartiality, integrity and expertise.
This accreditation gives regulators, insurers and customers confidence in the quality and reliability of SSAIB-certified companies.
Additionally, SSAIB is an approved assessing body for the Security Industry Authority’s (SIA) Approved Contractor Scheme.
Achieving SSAIB certification demonstrates a company’s compliance with industry standards and a commitment to excellence. This third-party certification can be crucial for businesses accessing certain market sectors and is often a prerequisite for insurance approvals. For consumers and businesses seeking security services, choosing an SSAIB-certified provider ensures that the company meets rigorous standards, thereby enhancing credibility and trust.
