National Security Inspectorate (NSI) Gold Accreditation

Providing a high standard of customer service has always been a priority for Ecl-ips and to demonstrate this commitment we have achieved NSI Gold status. This means that we comply with industry specific standards and are subject to independent regular audit by the NSI to monitor our continuing compliance with those standards. The NSI said this is as demanding as any approval in the security and fire sectors in which it operates, and is recognised by industry, the police, fire and rescue services, insurers, and other stakeholders.

ISO 9001 Standard

To achieve the NSI Gold acreditation we have to operate a Quality Management System (QMS) which is compliant with the BS EN ISO 9001:2015 Standard. The British Standards Institution (BSI) believes the ISO 9001 quality management system helps companies to continually monitor and manage quality across their businesses so we can identify areas for improvement. The NSI Gold Approval, means our QMS is tuned to the specific needs of the security sector in which we operate.

CHAS (Contractors Health and Safety Assessment Scheme) Accredited

To demonstrate its commitment to high health and safety standards Ecl-ips holds the respected CHAS (Contractors Health and Safety Assessment Scheme) accreditation. Our certification proves that we have demonstrated compliance with the CHAS standards which are in line with UK Health and Safety regulations and the Safety Schemes in Procurement (SSIP) core criteria. The CHAS accreditation also shows that Ecl-ips has complied with the Construction (Design and Management) (CDM) Regulations 2015, which are governed by the UK’s Health and Safety Executive (HSE). If you want to search for high quality suppliers like us you can join CHAS for free.

Safecontractor Approved since 2015

Being SafeContractor accredited means we are on an approved list of contractors who are Health & Safety accredited, reducing the risks to our customers. The accreditation demonstrates that our health and safety documentation is up to date and meets recognised industry standards. This seal of approval from SafeContractor, which is run by the Alcumus Group, means we join 3,000 other contractors that are part of the accreditation scheme. Businesses who want to use our services are able to find us as part of their membership of its Contractor Management System.

Constructionline Approved

We are Constructionline Approved meaning we appear on its lists of vetted suppliers for construction buyers. Through our membership we gain access to a wide range of procurement contracts and projects while potential buyers gain access to a validated pool of high quality suppliers. Constructionline encourages the use of PAS 91, a standardised prequalification questionnaire which is designed to reduce the need for suppliers to complete a variety of different documents for different clients, simplifying the process for suppliers. Developed by the British Standards Institute (BSI), the question set has been commissioned by Government and is a recommended common minimum standard for construction procurement.

ECS Card Holders

Our engineers have received the the appropriate training and qualifications for the job they do on site meeting the standards of the Electrotechnical Certification Scheme (ECS) which is the sole ID and competence card scheme for electrotechnical operatives in the UK and is recognised and endorsed by the industry. Their ECS cards prove their qualification status, main electrical occupation, identity, health and safety awareness, as well as any additional disciplines in which they are skilled to work.

The ECS is a partner of the Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS) and covers not just core electrotechnical occupations, but specialised industries such as building controls, data communications, highway electrical and fire & security.

IASME Governance Standard Certified

The IASME Governance Standard was developed over several years during a government-funded project to create a cyber security standard which would be an affordable and achievable alternative to the international standard, ISO 27001. It allows small businesses, like Ecl-ips, to demonstrate their level of cyber security and shows they are taking good steps to properly protect their customers’ information and thus are meeting the latest data protection rules as required by the GDPR. We completed the Standard via a self-assessment process completed by our Senior Engineer, Stephen Gilbert.

Cyber Essentials Certified

By gaining the IASME Governance Standard, we also passed the Cyber Essentials assessment. Cyber Essentials is a government -approved business certification scheme specifically aimed at helping businesses become more secure against internet born threats.

Gate Safe Supporter

Ecl-ips provides access control systems for automated gates. However, we are aware that automated gates can become a safety hazard which is why we support the work of GateSafe. This charity was set up in 2010 following the tragic deaths of two children crushed by automated gates in separate accidents. As a GateSafe supporter we would always recommend that you choose an accredited installer for supply and installation and that once installed you ensure continuing good maintenance of your gates.
