Independent approval and certification services for the security industry
06.01.2009 Barry Brady, Executive Director
CerticCS is an independent body that brings a wealth of experience to security company approval and certification. CerticCS provides inspection services to companies installing electronic security systems including intruder alarms, CCTV and access control systems, and those providing guarding and cash in transit security services.
The Private Security Services Act 2004 demands that all security companies have a Private Security Contractor’s Licence issued by the Private Security Authority (PSA). The PSA require proof that your company meets the appropriate industry standards. This proof is demonstrated by being approved through an accredited certification body. You can choose CerticCS as we meet these requirements.
If your company installs monitored intruder alarm systems, or provides monitoring services that request keyholder and An Garda Síochána response, you must be approved by an accredited certification body. You can choose CerticCS as we meet these requirements.
Choosing CerticCS will provide you with other important benefits. Quality and profit go hand in hand. Successful companies are the ones who reap rewards by performing to high standards. Customers and specifiers will often require proof that your electronic security systems or guarding services meet the appropriate standards. Independent endorsement through CerticCS approval can help convince your customers and specifiers that your business is a good reliable choice.
We will not compromise our standards or cut corners just to get companies approved. Reputation is everything and we will not risk losing this as it affects not only us, but the companies we approve.
Our schemes are competitively priced and we believe you will benefit from the value we offer. Our knowledgeable staff, who have extensive security industry experience, will understand your business needs and be better able to provide you with the support you expect from your chosen certification body.
