\"\"The Steel Construction Certification Scheme (SCCS<\/a>) has become one of the first certification bodies to achieve SSIP Accreditation (Safety Schemes In Procurement) following a recent UKAS assessment.<\/p>\n

SSIP aims to streamline prequalification by driving unnecessary cost and confusion out of supplier health and safety<\/a> assessment. Its core philosophy is to enable effective cross-recognition between existing schemes.<\/p>\n

The SSIP Core Criteria for assessments is aligned to the Government-backed construction<\/a> prequalification document PAS 91, ensuring consistency within supply chain management.<\/p>\n

Suppliers registered with a SSIP Member Scheme are listed on the SSIP web portal, which provides an easy way of finding out if a supplier holds valid certification with an SSIP member scheme and confirms compliance with the SSIP Core Criteria and UK Health & Safety legislation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a significant addition to the service that SCCS offers its clients and further develops our strategic objective of offering a one-stop shop for certification,\u201d said SCCS Director of Certification Stephen Blackman.<\/p>\n

The SCCS is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the British Constructional Steelwork Association. It was established in the early 1980s to provide quality management<\/a> certification for steelwork contracting organisations.<\/p>\n

SCCS now offers a wide range of certification and monitoring services for the structural steelwork sector, including integrated or separate UKAS accredited Quality management systems, Environmental<\/a> and Health & Safety management<\/a> systems, Factory Production Control<\/a> systems and selected National Highways Sector Schemes.<\/p>\n
