Accreditations explained

The Loss Prevention Standard (LPS) 1048 is the longest running certification scheme for design, installation, commissioning and servicing of industrial, commercial and residential sprinkler systems. It confirms that an installation performs in compliance with the stated specifications.

The scheme assesses the robustness of our processes and the technical and quality competencies of our teams by carrying out external third-party audits across all our locations twice a year, every year.

There are four levels of approval within the LPS 1048 scheme for industrial and commercial risks, and a single level of approval for residential and domestic. For 30+ years, we have held the highest level of approval (Level 4), which allows us to self-certify our work. You can have confidence that you’re partnering with a business fully capable of delivering all the complexities of work needed by you and your business.

As a prerequisite to our technical accreditations, we have held our ISO9001 accreditation for 35+ years. The standard outlines the criteria for a quality management system and is based on principles which ensure delivery of consistent good quality service.

The scheme assesses the competencies of our teams and the robustness of our business processes through external third-party audits twice a year.

ISO9001 focuses on several quality management principles including ‘strong customer focus, the motivation and implication of top management, the process approach and continual improvement’.

ISO14001 specifies the requirement for an environmental management system and systematic management of our environmental responsibilities, which contribute to the environmental pillar of sustainability. The scheme assesses the competencies of our teams and our business through external third-party audits twice a year, to ensure we meet the criteria every time.

Our Acclaim accreditation means we’ve met stage one health and safety requirements. Our work activities and health and safety documentation have been independently assessed and deemed competent. As part of the SSIP (Safety Schemes in Procurement) members scheme, the accreditation also supports the improvement of health and safety standards across the UK and reduces duplication of paperwork in procurement. This means we have also satisfied the criteria for all other SSIP members’ schemes.

NSI approval is the hallmark of excellence within the Security industry. It certifies that we’re technically competent, professional and trustworthy. Our processes and work practices are put through a rigorous audit process each year to ensure we comply with NSI practices. We must demonstrate that we have an operating Quality Management System (ISO9001), that our directors and leaders are reputable with relevant business experience, and that we have an effective employee security screening process.
