Membership Benefits

The PSSA is the trade association for companies involved in the supply of equipment and services designed to provide the highest levels of physical protection for sites and their perimeters from terrorist or criminal attack that involves the use of extreme force or explosives.

We formally became a non-profit trade association limited by guarantee on 1st August 2009. Our founder members are some of the leading names in the sector – and we have been formed with the encouragement of the government body the Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure (CPNI). It shares our objective to promote the use of high performance products and their professional installation.

Membership benefits include:

Participation in the commissioning of a new independent Sector Certification Body. The first such organization to be set up in Europe. It will be responsible for auditing companies and product test results. Becoming a PSSA member now will give you a head start on the new programme.

Through the testing and certification process, making sure that you are included in the PSSA-CPNI published list of certified products and services. This will become the new “go to” register for current and future customers to get information on what you supply.

Use of the PSSA logo – the sign of your commitment to product excellence and professionalism in the perimeter security sector. Plus promotion on the PSSA website.

Participation in, and information on, standards initiatives including;
New proposals for CEN product testing standards.
Setting the professional standards for product installation criteria.

Membership of work groups, including those covering International Business and Marketing.

It is an exciting time to be part of the security industry – and no better time to be part of the sector’s newest and most forward thinking trade association.
