NACOSS and NSI

You have probably reached this site through accessing www.nacoss.org, by searching for NACOSS or NACOSS Gold or through old links.

NACOSS was formerly an inspectorate that solely approved companies involved in the installation and maintenance electronic security systems and alarm receiving centres (ARC).

In 2001, NACOSS merged with the Inspectorate of the Security Industry (ISI), which offered voluntary inspection services to the manned security sector, to form the National Security Inspectorate (NSI).

Companies, other than ARC's, that were approved by NACOSS at the time of the merger became approved under the scheme name NACOSS Gold in line with NSI's new scheme structure.

ARCs were to become approved under the ARC Gold scheme.
