Schemes

NSI provides the toughest inspection services to ensure that all its approved companies continuously meet the highest standards.

Gold, Silver, Bronze Medals


Approved companies are recognised for their different stages of development through three tiers of NSI approval: Gold, Silver and Bronze.

The Gold schemes are the most esteemed and provide a target for ambitious companies to achieve, whilst Silver provides smaller and younger businesses with an opportunity to receive an appropriate level of approval.
