Heya Lads

quick question for ye, i started out on my own installing alarms and am trying to get the money to pay for the licence. Am after been reported to the PSA for installing, i no who reported me and when i find out for def will be reporting him for other things......... but back to my point, i sub contract for a licenced company and have them commission my alarms, would that cover me???

Your breaking the law so why should he not report you

You cant install like that, you must have your own licence to install alarms. Any alarm you install once certified must be certified to the EN50131 standard. If you use there licence number for there installs them that is grand but you still must show that you have obtained the standard for your company.

all my installs are for the licenced company! im a sub contractor for them, they are licenced and hire me to install alarms for them! i dont install alarms under my own name, untill i can get the money to obtain my own licence! if someone approachs me for alarm i hand the install over to te company i sub contract for and they usualy hire me then to install it under their licence!

If you dont have a PSA licence you cant install alarm. They dont make exceptions. You need one to work installing alarms.

You need to apply contact a certification body and apply to the psa for an exemption.
There are all sorts rumours going around that you can install an alarm without a license if you do it this way and that way but they are all false

what if you have a UK registerd company and are doing some work here...do you still need a PSA licence?

To Install alarms you must be PSA licenced & certified by one of the certification bodies NSAI, EQA, SSAIB etc.
If you are starting off you apply for an exemption licence. This allows you install a number of jobs so they can be inspected as part of your certification & licencing.

Alternatively sub it out, I do some work for uk companies over here
