Any adverts do not necessarily mean the product in question is Sold Secure approvedThe Approved product list gives the reader an insight into the more effective security products, it does not give any form of guarantee that these products will be 100% effective in combating crime.

3 Also, it does not guarantee that these methods/products are suitable for specific applications. It is the responsibility of the equipment supplier and equipment purchaser to ensure that any system is suitable to its particular application and that it complies with all legislation, standards, codes of practice or any other requirement. Every effort has been made to ensure the contents of the list are accurate, however Sold Secure does not accept any responsibility for loss arising from decisions based upon product catalogue 201744 As we go to print the initial indications are that 2016 was a record year for Sold Secure, even beating the pre-financial crisis high of 2007!Workload continued to be huge with turnover growing significantly over an already pleasing 2015, and more importantly the ability to provide funds to the MLA yet again improved.

4 We saw plenty of new products being submitted for approval throughout the year, proof of not only the increasing popularity of Sold Secure approval, but also the emphasis placed on the testing and approval process by the likes of Secured by Design who require 3rd party testing by the likes of Sold Secure to provide their approval to products, and of course insurers, who want to maximise security in order to minimise their risks and with Thatcham having decided to exit testing certain products then the role Sold Secure plays will increase even further in prominence and standards continue to be investigated and developed. 2016 saw the development of the Diamond level for Motorcycle products, aimed at the higher quality thicker chains that are becoming more readily available now to try and combat the use of battery operated grinders.

5 This year will also see us investigate developing and enhancing SS107 Specification for Mechanical Locks for Motor Vehicles, as theft of and theft from vans increases. Annual audits; a vital part to any approval programme ensuring consistency of design and production, once again continued at pace throughout the year, Overview From The Director Of Business Developmentwith manufacturers keen to ensure continued approval and maintain their presence on the Sold Secure website and of course in this goes without saying that if you want to discuss getting any products tested, or simply want to find out if we can help you in any way with some consultancy then just drop us a line via the website or give us a call 01327 264687. I sincerely hope you enjoy the 2017 catalogue , once again integrated with the MLA Handbook, itself full of useful information on security standards and of course the list of MLA approved companies, and I look forward to continuing to work with customers, new and old over the next 12 SincerelyDr Steffan GeorgeDirector of Business DevelopmentAPPROVED product catalogue 20175need to verify approval for their insurance, and secondly from the beeline the CPDA s make for the Sold Secure stand at any event we re at, eager to get their hands on the latest Sold Secure Approved Products catalogue .

6 Another major benefit of using Sold Secure, according to feedback we get from customers, is the way we work with our customers. We ve heard horror stories of other test houses taking in products and then sending back a bag of bits with a fail notice . Sold Secure prefers to work with its customers to help improve the quality of products out there in the market place. We offer an initial free consultation to explain how the product will be attacked, look for any obvious weaknesses in the design/construction (whilst it s no guarantee that a product we pass, we feel that taking in a product for testing knowing that it s going to fail, whilst commercially perhaps more attractive in the short term, would be counterproductive for our desire to build long lasting relationships with our customers). We can also give an indication of what specification it should be submitted for and which grade it may be able to achieve.

7 Last and by no means least there s the extra marketing support that can be obtained by Sold Secure Approval. All products that have passed Sold Secure test specifications are included in the Approved Products catalogue whilst all products tested are included on the website, which not only provides contact details for the customer but also the ability to include a picture and detailed description of the product too. Don t forget the Sold Secure website is linked to by many authoritative websites including the Government. So, if you ve got a product that you think is suitable and want the benefits of approval, contact Sold Secure on 01327 264687 or to discuss getting your products ll read a lot about Sold Secure in this catalogue but if you re a manufacturer why should you have your product approved?

8 What do you actually get for your money and why choose Sold Secure over other test houses? Firstly it s important to realise the benefit of independent third party testing. Whilst you may believe that you have the proverbial best product in the world and have your own test reports to prove it, but then in the eyes of the general public or custwwomers then you would think that anyway you want to sell product and therefore the perception may be that you d say anything to sell it. However, if an independent third party, who has no vested commercial interest, says that the product has met a certain criteria, then it adds gravitas to the claims about the product . The next thing to look at is what testing it s claimed to have met. Yes manufacturers will have their own in-house test specifications but what do these actually mean.

9 You re better off testing to a recognised standard, something that people will understand and recognise. Yes you can test to British Standards or european Norms and in some cases then this is arguably a very well recognised standard, but does it go far enough. Do they reflect what is happening out there in the field; mimicking what thieves are doing? This is where the Sold Secure test specifications come into their own. Developed in conjunction with the relevant stakeholders (including police, insurers and the appropriate industry bodies) they are mostly based on attack test principles, using a certain amount of time and tools (depending on grade) for the product to be defeated. So why choose Sold Secure? First and foremost there s the recognition. Sold Secure is recognised not only by the public, but most importantly by the Police Crime Prevention Design Advisors (who promote the use of Sold Secure approved products) and insurers (a number of whom will require Sold Secure Approved products to be used in order to either provide insurance or provide a discount on the insurance premium).

10 How do we know this; first and foremost based on the number of calls and e-mails we get from insurers directly and from the public highlighting how they Why get your productstested by Sold Secure?APPROVED product catalogue 201766 APPROVED PRODUCTSH istorySold Secure was established in 1992 by Northumbria and Essex Police who combined 2 initiatives, Sold Secure and Partnership Against Car Theft (PACT) to form Sold Secure with the help and backing of the Home Office.
