The NSI is also delighted to announce that it’s a sponsor of the Apprentice Skills Challenge, offering support to this popular event for the tenth year running.
The NSI, of course, is one of the leading approvals and certification bodies that provides inspection services for the UK’s fire and security industries. The Inspectorate exists for the benefit of its customers and, for almost 35 years, has been protecting them by insisting on the highest standards and operating the toughest inspection regime.
All the while, the NSI works to meet the standards demanded by the police, fire and rescue services and the insurance industry in order to reduce risks and keep insurance premiums at a minimum.
There are over 1,500 approved security and fire company locations that meet the stringent NSI standards, and continue to do so on a daily basis.
Consistently meeting the highest standards
Approval through one of the NSI’s industry-leading schemes enables security companies to provide customers, police and insurers with proof that they consistently meet the highest standards, helping them to gain new business opportunities in an increasingly competitive marketplace.
NSI-approved companies also benefit from in-depth technical support, including regular updates on regulatory changes and training courses, as well as a listing in the NSI online directory.
The NSI was the first SIA accredited assessing body to offer access to the Approved Contractor Scheme (ACS) via the Passport route. Open to NSI Guarding Gold and Cash Services Gold-approved companies that provide security guarding, CCTV, door supervision and key holding services, the Passport route offers an additional option for access to the ACS.
All NSI-approved companies choosing this route must meet a new NSI passport specification, but will not be required to go through separate ACS assessment, thus benefiting from potential cost savings.
