What Is PSA 94 Certification?

PSA 94 is the Private Security Authority’s official licensing standard for businesses involved in the supply, installation, or servicing of safes, vaults, strong rooms, ATM safes, and deposit safes in Ireland. These assets are central to physical security, and improper installation can lead to significant security vulnerabilities. PSA 94 sets out requirements for professional conduct, secure installation practices, and appropriate documentation to support a consistent, high-quality standard of work. Companies must hold this licence to legally operate in this specialist area of the private security industry.

Who Is the PSA?

The Private Security Authority (PSA) is the regulatory body for the private security industry in Ireland. It was established under the Private Security Services Act 2004. The role of the PSA is to improve and maintain standards in the provision of security services in the State by operating a standards-based licensing system.

What You Need to Comply with PSA 94

PSA 94 outlines the standards and procedures that licensed businesses must follow when supplying or installing safes and secure storage systems. Certification under this standard involves meeting the following key requirements:

  • Safe design, planning, and installation best practices
  • Approved locking mechanisms and anchorage methods
  • Ongoing maintenance and service procedures
  • Documentation (“as-fitted” certificates) and event reporting
