The PSA has published the new standard to replace IS 999 as the standard required for licensing. The new standard which is entitled “PSA Licensing Requirements – Door Supervision and Security Guarding 2013” has been in development for over 2 years and draws on the licensing experience of the past 7 years.

The new document will take effect from the 1st May 2014. Existing licensed contractors will be required to comply with the document at their first audit after the 1st May 2014. New licence holders will be required to comply with the document at their first full audit.

The PSA has also published a comparison document which outlines the main difference between the old standard, IS 999:2004 and the new requirements document. Links to both documents are available below.
