The SSIP accreditation process
SSIP don’t carry out the assessments directly; one of their approved assessment companies does.
The most popular and the companies we carry out most assessments are:
The most expensive is CHAS, and the least costly is PQS. Due to the Deem to Satisfy system by SSIP, a PQS accreditation is equivalent to a CHAS accreditation, and for a small fee, you can obtain certificates for both.
If you are unsure which one to select and would like to know more about fees, complete the form at the bottom of the page, and we will answer your questions.
What are the benefits of undertaking an SSIP assessment with an SSIP member scheme?
- An assessment demonstrates compliance with H&S legislation to all your current (and future) clients.
- The Assessment process can act as an Audit of company arrangements and actively reviews all documents and procedures.
- Reduces the amount of time spent completing external PQQs (prequalification questionnaires) by using the DTS (deam to satisfy) procedure
- Win more work – your details will be visible to hundreds of buyers who only work with SSIP-certified suppliers.
