ITICP Joins SSIP as a Supporter Member

The Institute of Testing, Inspection and Certification Professionals (ITICP) is proud to announce that we are now an official Supporter Member of Safety Schemes in Procurement (SSIP).

This milestone marks a significant step in our mission to represent and elevate professionals working across the testing, inspection, and certification (TIC) sectors. By joining SSIP, ITICP strengthens its commitment to promoting best practice in safety, integrity, and quality assurance—principles that underpin both our members' work and the values of the SSIP community.

What is SSIP?

SSIP is a leading UK umbrella organisation dedicated to reducing duplication and cost in health and safety assessment and procurement. Its member schemes provide recognised health and safety certifications that support businesses in demonstrating their commitment to workplace safety. SSIP's framework supports mutual recognition between member schemes, helping suppliers avoid having to undergo multiple assessments.

Why This Matters

Becoming a Supporter Member of SSIP enables ITICP to:

• Engage directly with the SSIP Forum and contribute to future developments in the safety schemes space.

• Strengthen our voice in advocating for high standards in health and safety compliance within the TIC industry.

• Support our members in staying aligned with best practices and emerging trends in certification and audit approaches.

Championing Safety and Professionalism

Our involvement with SSIP further affirms ITICP's role as a forward-thinking, collaborative organisation dedicated to improving safety performance and certification standards across industries. We believe that robust, transparent assessment practices—whether remote or onsite—are key to enhancing trust in TIC professionals and the value they bring to clients and society.

Looking Ahead

We look forward to working closely with SSIP, its member schemes, and fellow supporters. Together, we aim to drive continuous improvement, professional development, and innovation in the assessment of health and safety standards.

To our members, this is just the beginning. ITICP will continue to forge partnerships and open doors that help you grow, connect, and lead within your professional community.
