Welcome to the SSIP Forum

SSIP is committed to ensure reduction in health and safety assessment costs and bureaucracy in the supply chain, by making cross-recognition between member schemes as effective as possible.

There are currently in excess of 74,000 suppliers registered with an SSIP Member Scheme and this information is readily accessible via the SSIP Portal. The SSIP Portal is free to access and 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.

Deem to Satisfy

SSIP operates a Deem to Satisfy (DtS) agreement for mutual (or non-mutual) recognition which is in place amongst all SSIP Members.

All registered members agree to accept a current, valid approval by any other registered Member subject to all correct details being displayed on the SSIP Portal.

“Since inception of SSIP we are pleased to advise mutual recognition has enabled savings to suppliers in excess of £280m* in addition to the time savings by all parties involved. We are keen to work with any buyer who would like to know more about the benefits of recognising the many thousands of suppliers who are currently assessed by SSIP members.”

Eleanor Eaton, Chairman, SSIP
