id-visual a ssaib certified installer.

id-visual is certified by the SSAIB to install and maintain CCTV solutions, access control systems and intruder alarms.

The SSAIB (Security Systems and Alarms Inspection Board) only certificate companies who demonstrate competence and financial probity in the management of their business. Certificated providers must also demonstrate technical competence and ethical conduct when it comes to providing fire detection and alarm or security services to your business.

SSAIB certification means that you can be confident in the quality of service provided to protect your business from the potentially devastating consequences of fire or crime.

Founded in 1994, the SSAIB is a not-for-profit organisation, and is a company limited by guarantee, with a Governing Board representing a wide range of industry stakeholders. In addition to representation from the Police (ACPO and ACPO Scotland), Fire Services and Insurers, the Board comprises representatives of various government departments, trade associations, professional bodies, practitioners and relevant consumer organisations.

As a body, the remit of the SSAIB is to ensure high standards of service and business ethics within the security and fire communities. This is achieved through rigorous assessment of providers against SSAIB’s scheme criteria and British or European Standards, maintained by regular and ongoing audits of management systems and inspection of systems. The SSIAB attracts professional installers and service providers, like id-visual, to give users a choice of reputable suppliers in their area.

Increasingly insurers require evidence that all reasonable steps have been taken to mitigate risk and ensure the safety of personnel and assets within the workplace. SSAIB certificated providers will meet or exceed your insurer's requirements.

For increased confidence when buying a fire or security system you should:

• Use only SSAIB certificated companies.
• Always agree a written specification.
• Ascertain what repair or call out cover is provided.
• Ensure that you are given a Certificate of Conformity for your system. This confirms that the system has been installed to all relevant standards.
• Confirm whether you have bought or leased the system.
• Have your system regularly maintained; this may be a condition of cover.
• Seek and follow up references.
• Ensure that your Intruder Alarm System provider obtains a police unique reference number for monitored installation as this will be used to verify the alarm and initiate a Police response. Only certificated providers are able to obtain Police URNs.

Having a fire or security systems provider in whom you can trust will ensure peace of mind for you and demonstrate to your insurer that you have acted responsibly to protect your home or business. This need not be a matter of luck; it can be an informed choice if you select an SSAIB certificated firm such as id-visual.
