Why SSAIB Matters

Independent certification for security systems installation and maintenance.

What is SSAIB?

SSAIB (Security Systems and Alarms Inspection Board) is an independent certification body for companies that design, install and maintain security systems. This includes intruder alarms, CCTV and related systems.

Certification is not automatic. Companies are assessed against defined standards covering competence, processes and the quality of work. RMEC holds SSAIB registration CHES122.

Being SSAIB certificated means our security systems work has been independently checked rather than self-declared.

Why it matters for security systems

Independent assessment

SSAIB inspects companies against defined standards. Certification is not a self-declaration — the organisation is independently checked.

Recognised standard

SSAIB certification aligns with industry expectations for intruder alarm and security system work, supporting insurance and compliance requirements.

Reduced risk

Choosing a certified company reduces the risk of poor installation or maintenance that could leave premises unprotected.

Clear accountability

Certification provides a registration number and a recognised scheme to reference if issues arise.
