The SSAIB is a specialist Certification Body for providers of electronic security systems, fire detection and alarm systems and guarding security services 

From our inception, our aim has been to promote high standards within these sectors and to provide recognition for those who achieve them. SSAIB is an SIA-Approved assessment body specialising in the Security Industry.

Our aim is to provide a comprehensive range of certification services for all security services and fire systems providers and we will continue to develop our scope of accreditation in line with the needs of existing certificated providers, at all times anticipating changes in the direction of the market.

SSAIB's approach is inclusive of small and larger providers alike. We offer guidance and encouragement to certificated firms and to firms considering certification. We have in excess of 1200 companies of all sizes on our register, which means that we represent the greatest number of security services providers within the sector. Our remit is to ensure high standards of service and business ethics within the community of security, guarding and fire services providers in the interest of end users.

SSAIB's security systems certification scheme covers the following areas: Intruder Alarms CCTV Systems Access Control Systems

We also operate a number of schemes covering Alarm Receiving Centres and Detector Activated Remote Monitored CCTV.Certification against this SSAIB scheme will demonstrate compliance with ACPO and ACPO (Scotland) policies on Police response to security systems alarms. It will enable certificate companies to obtain a Unique Reference Number (URN) and therefore a Police response to alarms generate by the systems installed.

This scheme is recognised by insurers and SSAIB is accredited to operate it by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS). UKAS Accreditation means that our approach is subject to independent scrutiny and validation against international standards.
