Section 16 of the Private Security Industry Act 2001 makes it an offence for a company to claim it is an Approved Contractor when it is not; this includes indirectly claiming to be an Approved Contractor by displaying the ACS accreditation mark. The penalty for committing an offence under Section 16 is a fine of up to £5,000.

Our register of approved contractors lists all of the companies that are currently approved.
