Installers, Service and Maintenance

## Installers, Service and Maintenance
Selecting approved products is only half the story as the performance of a product can be severely undermined by poor installation or maintenance.

We strongly recommend you use installers and service and maintenance companies that are approved by LPCB.

We have the following schemes in place to help:
- LPS 1014 - Requirements for certificated fire detection and alarm system firms

- LPS 1204 - Requirements for firms engaged in the design, installation and commissioning and servicing of gas extinguishing systems
- LPS 1271 - Requirements for the LPCB approval and listing of companies installing fire and security doors, doorsets, shutters and active smoke/fire barriers
- LPS 1301 - Requirements for the approval of sprinkler installers in the UK and Ireland for residential and domestic sprinkler systems

SABRE

## SABRE
SABRE is a security assessment and certification scheme for buildings and built infrastructure assets.

It is a first-of-its-kind, offering:
- an independently assessed security risk management rating for a facility (SABRE Assurance Rating)
- the ability to measure and evaluate the security performance of a facility against a range of credible threats and compare that performance against that of the wider sector.

The scheme recognises and rewards good practice and inspires owners, occupiers and operators to measure their performance so they can make informed investment decisions, communicate their security credentials to interested parties and benefit from greater transparency.

The SABRE framework and risk based assessment methodology ensures flexibility in approach, recognising all solutions that offer effective security and raising awareness that there is no ‘one size fits all’ solution. This approach avoids a checklist mentality to security assessment that will inevitably stifle innovation and may lead to incomplete and ineffective security.

As has been the case with BREEAM, BRE Global’s sustainability certification scheme, we anticipate SABRE certification providing a broad range of benefits to users, including improved attractiveness and value of certificated built assets.

The SABRE scheme is jointly operated by The Security Institute and BRE Group.

Management Systems

## Management Systems
Toooo manufacture goods of a consistent and acceptable quality, adequate control of business systems is vital. To achieve this level of control, written procedures help ensure that tasks are performed correctly and consistently every time. Some of the first organisations to implement this kind of control were the companies that supplied the military forces.

We offer certification to:
- ISO 9001 - Quality management system
- ISO 14001 - Environmental management system
- ISO 45001 - Health & safety management

and we are able to offer an integrated service to companies wanting approval under two or more of these standards.
