More about Bristol and Bath Alarms

NSI Gold Accreditation – What does it mean for our customers in Bristol and Bath?

The NSI is the National Security Inspectorate, which came into being in 2001 but traces its roots back to 1971. Today it inspects all elements of the security industry for the benefit of customers and suppliers alike. This includes burglar or intruder alarms, fire alarms, CCTV equipment and other security systems as well as personnel.

Standfast Security Systems is pleased to have achieved the highest accreditation possible from the NSI – We are an NSI Gold Company. Our customers in Bristol and Bath benefit from all that this means.

All NSI approved companies:

achieve the highest business performance standards
meet all British and European Standards for technical performance
security screen all relevant staff
provide a high level of staff training and supervision to industry best practice standards
are comprehensively insured to protect customers and staff
are inspected every six months by professional auditors including random site visits

NSI Gold companies like Standfast must also:

meet the industry specific ISO 9001 Quality Management System Standard
demonstrate a long term track record of performance and evidence of reliability and stability

Inspection includes the examination and assessment of our installations of fire alarms, Bristol burglar alarms and other security systems, our premises, tools, equipment, vehicles, working practices, documents and management systems and procedures.

Where we take over existing security systems, we must assure the NSI that we accept responsibility for their safety, as if we had installed them ourselves. All our customers receive good service and the same guarantees as our other customers.

Staff are security screened, which means they undergo a CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) check so that our customers can be assured of their trustworthiness.

The NSI reassesses our alarm systems company at least every three years and can inspect us at any time. Our customers can rest assured that our NSI Gold approval is up-to-date and ongoing. Alarm systems installed by us can be relied upon when kept in good order once installation is complete. Proof of our accreditation can be found here on the NSI website.
