Accredit UK Certification

IP NETWORK SYSTEMS

Article Date - 29-09-2009

IP Network Systems are now certified to the Accredit UK Quality Standard.

Following our final assessment which took place in August 2009, IP Network Systems have met the requirements of the Accredit UK ICT Supply Standard.

Our quality certification is for the Network Design and Installation segment.

This Segment contains information specifically designed for companies involved in the business of network design and installation and sets out the core principles and minimum sets of practice applicable to such a business.

The segment is concerned with the design, specification, installation and testing of network cabling and devices.

A network consists of 3 main sets of components:

Active: active components consist of items that make decisions about where network traffic goes; for example hubs, routers and switches.

Passive: passive components consist of items that connect the network together but contain no intelligence to make decisions and include cabling, patch panels, outlets and cabinets.

Environmental: environmental components consist of items that provide support to the network and include items such as power supplies, cooling systems, cabinets, racks and server rooms. Whilst these do not form part of this segment and are therefore not shown on the network diagram, careful consideration should be given to these components as the design and installation of networks will depend on them.

Buying well is tricky at the best of times. When it is buying ICT, the problem is even more difficult. Many Purchasers do not know where to turn when they have technological requirements. Even when they do find potential Suppliers, how can they spot the most capable companies?

Accredit UK makes buying ICT much easier. It is a quality standard which proves that a holder is among the best businesses in the industry.

Accredit UK meets the needs of a wide range of organisations, including:

Small-to-Medium ICT Purchasers;

Corporate ICT Purchasers;
