SikkerhedsBranchen

SikkerhedsBranchen is the Danish trade association (brancheforening) for security and safety, founded in 1992. It describes itself as the Danish industry association for sikring og sikkerhed and its organisation consists of more than 280 companies that work professionally with security and safety every day. Its members represent every form of security: guarding (vagt), electronic and mechanical security, fire safety (brandsikring), counter-terrorism security (terrorsikring) and security consultancy (sikringsrådgivning). The association's stated mission is to ensure the sense of safety of the Danish population ('Vi sikrer danskernes tryghed'). It pursues this by working to put security and safety on the political agenda and by informing about topics ranging from correct counter-terrorism protection of urban spaces to better fire safety in care institutions. It also makes knowledge and tools available to members and end customers, and emphasises high quality across the industry through certification schemes and continuous work on standards, rules and legislation. SikkerhedsBranchen operates a member-based structure with a secretariat of professionals who answer questions from members and journalists. It offers courses and events including webinars, seminars and introductory meetings, and it runs a supplier-finder service that helps customers locate a certified security supplier. The association also organises a large number of specialist committees (fagudvalg) under umbrella committees such as the fire committee (Brandudvalget); one example is the committee for passive fire protection, which works on optimal basic fire protection of buildings, advises legislators, authorities, fire services, police and builders, and maintains an annual work plan. SikkerhedsBranchen is a member of the European Association for Passive Fire Protection (EAPFP). According to Swedish-language reference material, the association was founded in 1992 and works to inform about the use of security products and to promote discussion about security. It cooperates with the Danish police, the Danish crime prevention council, Forsikring & Pension (the interest organisation of the Danish insurance industry), the Danish defence and the Ministry of Justice. The association is based in Denmark and its activities are focused on the Danish market.

SikkerhedsBranchen was founded in 1992 as a Danish trade organisation for businesses in the security industry. Its purpose, as described in reference material, is to inform about the use of security products and to promote discussion about security. Over time it has developed into the national industry association for sikring og sikkerhed, today representing more than 280 member companies. The association has built a structure of specialist committees (fagudvalg) that sit under umbrella committees such as the fire committee (Brandudvalget). These committees bring together member companies, elect a committee leadership, discuss current topics and work according to an annual work plan adopted at the annual member meeting. One example is the committee for passive fire protection, which works for optimal basic fire protection of buildings, for continued legislative focus on passive fire protection in new construction and renovation, and for effective and adequate ongoing inspection of buildings. The committee advises all parties in construction and acts as a sparring partner for legislators, authorities, fire services, police and builders. SikkerhedsBranchen is also a member of the European Association for Passive Fire Protection (EAPFP), giving the association an international dimension in this field. Alongside committee work, the association has developed member services including courses and events (webinars, seminars, introductory meetings), a secretariat that answers questions from members and journalists, and a supplier finder that helps customers find a certified security supplier. It also runs certification schemes and works continuously on standards, rules and legislation to secure high quality in the industry. The association cooperates with the Danish police, the Danish crime prevention council, Forsikring & Pension, the Danish defence and the Ministry of Justice, reflecting its role as a bridge between the security industry and public authorities.
