NSI stands for the National Security Inspectorate and NACOSS-Gold is their top accredition.
The NSI is an independent, non-profit making supervisory body existing solely for the purpose of ensuring member companies comply with the industry Standards and Codes of Practice.
We emphasise that The NSI is not a trade association.
Compliance with the Standards is achieved by demanding that all
GOLD
companies attain accreditation to the Quality Management System BS EN ISO 9001:2008.
Silver companies
are not required to conform to this demanding Standard.
As a qualified lead assessor, accredited by the Department of Trade and Industry, the NSI is required to visit every member company twice a year to carry out an inspection visit. During these 'quality audits' all areas of BS EN ISO 9001:2008 are checked and site visits are scheduled to inspect installations and conduct technical audits.
If any deviations are found during these visits a non-compliance is recorded with a requirement that the deviation be rectified within a specified time scale. Companies that continually fail to meet the standards can be struck of the list of approved members.
In the event of a dispute between company and customer, the NSI will, at the request of the customer, investigate the complaint. If, as a result of the investigation, the customer's complaint is upheld then the NSI will insist that the cause of the complaint is remedied within a given time scale and at the company's expense.
NACOSS_Gold
Companies are the top eschelon of the alarm industry and we emphasise this by mentioning ADT, the worlds largest security company. Like them we, too, are
NACOSS-Gold
accredited - there is no higher merit.
We often tell people that ADT is the worlds largest accredited company and we the smallest ... an amuzing little fact ... probably inaccurate.
