REQUIREMENTS & MEMBERSHIP CATEGORIES

 

NSSA Membership makes a statement about your business to the industry and consumers. Eligibility requirements for NSSA Membership vary slightly depending on your selected category of membership. 

Membership categories are based on the services provided by a company. The NSSA has 5 categories of Membership.

Licensing - Security & Building

Licensing requirements for the security screen industry differ in each state and territory and are divided into two categories;

  • Security Licensing

  • Building Licences

If your State or Territory requires licensing to sell, advertise, provide or install security screens, you will be requested to provide your licence number on your membership application.  

 

Don't have a licence?
You are welcome to submit a membership application, the NSSA will work with you and help guide you on attaining the required licence for your state or territory.

 


 

Requirements for Manufacturing Members:

    

  • Test Reports - AS 5041 - Methods of Test-Security Screen doors and Window Grilles    

NSSA Members are required to have a comprehensive Test Report provided by a NATA accredited laboratory for ALL security screening products you manufacture/sell.

The Test Report verifies that a tested and passed screen has met the requirements of the Australian Standard and can therefore be classified, advertised and sold as a security screen.

For Test Reports, please contact your system supplier directly.  Your Test Reports form part of the NSSA Compliance Audit and will be sited at your Audit. 

 

  •  Technical Manual - For Compliant Manufacture

To ensure all security screen products are manufactured and comply to the Australian Standard AS 5039, the technical manual or work procedure documentation is simply the manufacturing or fabrication instructions used by staff.  This can be your own work procedure/instruction manual or from a system supplier.
