Our certifications and what they mean for you
SSAIB Certification
The Security Systems and Alarms Inspection Board (SSAIB) is a UKAS-accredited certification body. Our SSAIB certificate covers CCTV, intruder alarm and access control systems; fire alarm and fire-safety works are delivered separately to the relevant British Standards.
- UKAS-accredited third-party verification
- Recognised by all major UK insurers
- Annual surveillance inspections ensure ongoing compliance
- Competent engineers with proper training and tools
- Clear certification and documentation matched to the service scope
BS 5839 Standards Compliance
BS 5839 is the British Standard for fire detection and alarm systems. We design, install, commission, and maintain systems to BS 5839-1 (commercial) and BS 5839-6 (domestic/residential) standards.
- Systems designed to the correct category (L1, L2, L3, L4, L5, M)
- Proper detector placement and coverage calculations
- Compliant sounder levels (65dB minimum, 75dB at bedhead)
- Correct fire-resistant cabling (FP200) and containment
- Full installation certificates and documentation
Approved Monitoring Partners
Where a project needs monitored signalling, we can connect systems to approved alarm receiving centres. Monitoring accreditation belongs to the receiving centre/provider and is specified clearly on the proposal.
- Monitoring routes specified clearly for the client and insurer
- Police-response signalling arranged where required
- Alarm receiving centre details documented on monitored systems
- No confusion between installer certification and monitoring-centre approval
- Suitable options for CCTV, intruder alarm and construction-site monitoring

Fire Safety Order (FSO) Compliance
