SSAIB is a leading certification body for organisations providing security systems and services, fire detection and alarm systems, telecare systems and services, manned services, approved contractors scheme and monitoring services. When it comes to protecting your home from the impact of crime or fire you can't afford to take any chances. The correct choice of fire or security protection system and provider is vital. If you are a existing supplier of security systems or services and/or fire systems, or if you are just starting out in business on your own, SSAIB can provide the support and help you might need.
The Security Systems and Alarms Inspection Board (SSAIB) is the leading certification body for organisations providing security systems and services, fire detection and alarm systems, telecare systems and services, manned security services and monitoring services. SSAIB is a Security Industry Authority (SIA) approved certification body - in respect of the SIA Approved Contractors Scheme - that operates within the UK. We also offer certification for firms based in the Republic of Ireland as well.
The range and diversity of alarm systems available can make choosing the right system for your need quite complex. The information below is not a definitive guide, but it will help you to understand the basic differences between the main types of system on offer. A Which? survey of 281 intruder alarm installers in the UK - from June 2008 - gave an average estimated price for an intruder alarm system for a three bedroom semi-detached house at £475. A basic system might be expected to comprise of an outside siren or bell and strobe light - enclosed in a weatherproof box - a key operated or digital control panel and a number of passive intra-red movement detectors, placed in vulnerable areas.
If you are a existing supplier of security systems or services and/or fire systems, or if you are just starting out in business on your own, SSAIB can provide the support and help you might need. As a professional supplier, your client will be looking to ensure that you are a competent and reliable provider of those services which are vital to the protection of their home or business. Whilst you may rely on word of mouth to promote your business or have recommendations from satisfied clients, that may not be sufficient to help your business grow.
Standards and Guidance - SSAIB trained auditors provide 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, workshops 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.
BAFE's objective is to bring to the marketplace a single registration scheme for each product or service within the fire protection industry, for which third-party certification has been considered appropriate. SSAIB operates a modular certification scheme for providers of fire alarm and detection systems. The modular approach allows more than one organisation to be involved in providing the system. It enables a certificate to be issued for the whole system, based on modular certification by providers of each module.
