As part of a new wave of PSSA marketing activities, a News Release was
issued informing journalists attending Transport Security Expo last month
of the forthcoming introduction of the Installation module of the PSSA
Verification Scheme. The release attracted several journalists to the PSSA
stand and was subsequently included in several online and hard copy
security-related publications.
This module of the Scheme was introduced to address “the vast variation in
quality of installations”, which was again pointed out at a recent CPNI
Industry Day.
The Installation Specification was developed by a Working Group of PSSA
Members, security consultants and others and includes a range of criteria
including installation specification, performance, service design and
delivery, testing and activation and handover.
PSSA Council Member and Installation Project Leader, Rob Simmons and
Scheme Manager, Steve Munden have already held positive talks with other
industry associations interested in collaborating on the initiative.
A meeting is planned in January 2014 to brief Members who will be
taking part in piloting the new module. The group includes both
product suppliers and installation companies. Please contact Steve Munden
(stephen.munden@pssaverification.com)if you would like your company to
be one of the first verified under this new module.

Never a company to rest on its laurels, Heald’s latest innovation is the shallow

proven to stop a 7.5 tonne truck travelling at 48kph with zero penetration
and zero dispersion. Orders are already coming in for the Static Raptor, which
can be used individually or as part of an array to secure an aperture of virtu-
ally unlimited size.
