THE OBJECTIVE OF THE AIS


RISK REDUCTION - THE PRIMARY TARGET

Some people might suggest that "approved installers" undertake “high quality” installations - unfortunately “high quality” is a most elusive characteristic - if we cannot define “high quality” then we should not rely on it too much.

Others onsider that “competence” should be the benchmark. Again, this is not so easy - primarily because competence is a personal “characteristic”. There are plenty of competent people that work for organisations that render them incompetent. So the employment of competent people may not be the key criterion one might have imagined.

Instead the FIA have determined that customers’ desire installers that "minimise risk”.




"RISK REDUCTION" BENEFITS for INSTALLERS and their SUPPLIERS

The reduction of risk takes many forms but one thing is certain - if the installers minimise the levels of risk to themselves then they also minimise the risk to their customers and vice versa.

For suppliers, those installers that minimise risk will be more soundly-based from a commercial viewpoint, they will ask the pertinent questions of their suppliers in order to use their products correctly.


"RISK REDUCTION" BENEFITS for CLIENTS and their CONSULTANTS

For clients and their consultants, those installers that seek to minimise risk will tend to employ competent persons in a professional manner - emphasising rather than undermining their competence.

Installers committed to the “reduction of risk” will be very careful not to over-commit and will have a good understanding of the requirements of the various standards they are asked to work to.
