The Fire and Security Association (FSA) is the leading trade association dedicated to companies who design, instal, commission, maintain and monitor electronic fire, emergency and security systems. As a specialist group of The Electrical Contractors Association (ECA), working in partnership with SELECT (the Scottish electro-technical trade association), the FSA is uniquely positioned to improve industry standards and develop members' businesses.
FSA membership is available to companies who have achieved the highest levels of certification in the fire, security or monitoring centre fields - through 'approved' industry certification bodies.
Additionally, clients can be assured that FSA member companies, not only deliver the highest calibre of work possible, but are also supported by an organisation that ensures they are performing at their peak.
