Here's an important regulatory update for any company that installs, maintains or repairs powered gates in the Republic of Ireland.
The Private Security Authority (PSA) has confirmed that the new standard PSA 80:2025 will be launched on 31st October 2025.
From this date:
• New contractors entering the sector will be required to hold a PSA licence in the category “Installer of Security Equipment – Powered Gates” and will also be required to undergo audit and certification to PSA 80:2025.
• Existing contractors (who currently hold a PSA licence in the Installer of Security Equipment – Access Control category) will be required to undergo a PSA 80 audit at their next licence renewal date.
