/ NSI Announced As Conformity Assessment Body Candidate for SIA Business Licensing

03 December 2013

The Security Industry Authority (SIA) has publicised a list of potential SIA Conformity Assessment Bodies for Business Licensing. NSI is delighted to have been shortlisted and our sector specific schemes are currently being assessed by UKAS to ensure they meet the SIA’s requirements for Business Licensing.

NSI is a UKAS accredited, sector-specific, Certification Body for the security industry.  If confirmed by the SIA as a Conformity Assessment Body for Business Licensing, companies seeking a business licence(s) for the security service(s) they provide will be able to turn to NSI to help provide evidence of their competence.  Demonstrating competence is a key SIA requirement that companies seeking a Business Licence will need to pay close attention to.  One of the ways to achieve this is by obtaining certification to a sector-specific scheme, such as NSI’s Guarding Gold or Silver Schemes, which encompass compliance with industry specific British Standards.

NSI will endeavour to keep those interested in Business Licensing up-to-date on further SIA announcements and developments.

*NSI has a well-established relationship with the SIA and has been a SIA ACS assessing body since 2006.
