What is ISO 9001 / BS 10800?

BS 10800:2020 is a code of practice for the provision of security services. Designed to provide operational recommendations for businesses working within the private security sector, it has now become a requirement for the SIA’s Approved Contractor Scheme (ACS).

To assist security companies working towards ACS approval, Citation ISO Certification now offers ISO 9001, which meets many of the quality requirements of the ACS criteria, with additional processes for BS 10800, combining the quality Standard with the security code of practice for a management system tailored to security businesses.

The benefits of ISO 9001 / BS 10800

Here are the top benefits of creating an ISO 9001 quality management system with processes designed to create best practice when it comes to operating your security business.

Here are the top benefits of using the ISO 9001 / BS 10800 framework:

  1. Meet the latest SIA ACS guidelines to work to BS 10800

  3. Achieve around two-thirds of the ACS self-assessment workbook indicators by meeting the requirements of ISO 9001

    The requirements of ISO 9001 / BS 10800

    BS 10800 has been put in place to bring the many British Standards for the security services sector, such as BS 7858 and BS 7499, in line with ISO 9001. This makes it easier for security businesses to integrate the various BS codes of practice into their management systems.

    To meet the requirements of ISO 9001 with added processes for BS 10800, you will therefore need to cover:

    1. Management Responsibility – the areas within the QMS that your management team need to focus on, be involved with and be accountable for

    2. Resource Management – how resources such as people, infrastructure and facilities must be assigned to ensure the best possible performance

    3. Product Realisation – details on how your business will operate in order to provide a high quality service or product

    4. Measurement, Analysis and Improvement – how you can determine if your Management System is working as expected, facilitating the continual improvement of your system

      The auditor was very pleasant and thorough.
      Dia Garrido, Managing Director, Drainscan

      Given that it's not the most exciting subject matter, ISO 27001, and the short amount of time to cover such a large certificate [the Consultant] did great work if it.Through his engagement, approachability and his understanding of how it pertains to us, he actually made the experience more enjoyable than I thought it could be.
