Third Party Certification
NSI certification is a sign that companies in the security and fire sectors have taken their commitment to quality one step further.
These companies voluntarily invite NSI to verify that their products or services comply with industry standards, giving their customers complete confidence in their service.
Adherence to standards is often specified in contract documents and invitations to tender as a fundamental requirement for success. Third-party certification offers an informed external view of your organisation’s ability to satisfy your customers’ requirements as you continually strive for improvement.
Our mission:
‘To provide robust, customer focused certification in order to raise standards.’
We aim to be the ultimate reassurance in fire, security and related facilities management approval.
