NSI has a long history of working with companies providing investigative services, particularly in the area of anti-fraud investigations relating to personal injury claims, having had its own dedicated Code of Practice (NCP 103) accredited by UKAS, for many years. NSI participated in the BSI drafting panel that produced the new British Standard, with many elements of its NCP 103 being drafted into BS 102000:2013 ‘Code of practice for the provision of investigative services’, and is delighted that the new BS effectively supercedes NCP 103 for progressive businesses operating in this field.

With UKAS accreditation for the Standard, NSI is best placed to help organisations who work in this sector, prove their integrity and competence to their clients.

Sam Greer, Managing Director, R-ISC Investigation & Surveillance Company Ltd, said: “R-ISC has always promoted the value of certification by the NSI and since taking sole ownership of the Company in 2007, I have personally extolled their virtues on numerous occasions. This accreditation to BS 102000 can only add benefit to our services and provide greater assurance to our customers.”

Steve Cook, Director of Operations UK & ROI, Global Options, said: “Having been approved by the NSI since 2006, I have always been an advocate of standards for my company and for this industry. I welcomed the publication of BS 102000 and this accreditation for NSI gives formal recognition for certification to this Standard, which now provides a quality benchmark for our customers.”

Emma Shaw, Managing Director of Estoteric Ltd, a specialist counter-surveillance and investigative services company added “We are proud to have received the BS 102000 certification which is in recognition of our commitment to working to the very highest standards of service.”
