Guest Alarm Guard Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 I think they are more bothered about quality than quantity. They are very helpful. Ask them to send you a free introductory information pack. That will detail all the things that they look for.... Things like correct insurance cover, accounts in order, correct methods and paperwork, being converse with latest regs, Etc. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 how many installations do you have to have under your belt before you can think about ssaib approval. 50 installs & 2 years trading I believe is the minimum... however just get an application pack from them & just work towards it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anusoflannigan Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 For SSAIB it is 10 installations and trading for 6 months under current trading title Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Alarm Guard Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 For SSAIB it is 10 installations and trading for 6 months under current trading title It used to be 50 installs some years ago, but the modern thinking is that if a Co. is installing that many before anyone inspects them they could be turning out a lot of bad work before anyone knows about it.

Zak Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 It used to be 50 installs some years ago, but the modern thinking is that if a Co. is installing that many before anyone inspects them they could be turning out a lot of bad work before anyone knows about it. and they'll also be losing a lot of business whilst only being able to install non-police response systems. It could take more than a year to get to 50!

Guest espsecurity Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 This is a route i am looking into, as currently i get an enquiry and have to pass it on as i am neither SSAIB nor NSI, with a very small amount of customers its hard to get either. i practically offer to install for cost when i get an opportunity just to add another cutsomer. been trading for 18 months now and got only 9 jobs installed for me, done over 300 for big name companies as a subbie! The most annoying thing is all my audits have come back with no deviations!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfball Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 WE are currently listed with both i have found ssiab inspectors are all ex engineers who have lots of experience and are more concerend as to wether you can acctualy DO what you claim the nsi chap is a bit clue less as an engineer but knows his stuff on papper work yes the inspections are fun as they both contradict each other at inspection time despite supposedly singing from the same hymn sheet we get more work/referals from the nsi Life is like a box of choclates.....if you dont get there first your left with all the naff ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
