Consumers can avoid poor installations now

For over ten years the Mobile Electronics and Security Federation has provided businesses and individuals involved in the installation of security, entertainment and other enhancement products into motor vehicles, new, used and imported with approvals, qualifications and accreditation.

Installation businesses that are independent of motor manufacturers can become MESF Approved Installation Specialists by proving compliance with a strict installation Code of Practice that has been written, and is regularly reviewed, by installation industry professionals.

Installation technicians can have their skills and knowledge tested in a progressive programme of qualifications and accreditation. First step is the MESF Certificate 1 Basic Installation which is the minimum qualification a consumer should look for when having equipment installed in their vehicle.

By adding experience and continuous professional development to their qualifications, installation technicians can be accredited by the MESF up to Master level.

Should an approved business or accredited technician be found not complying with the installation Code of Practice, they face suspension or permanent removal from the MESF Register.

Consumers are strongly advised to look for installation businesses that are MESF Approved Specialists employing MESF Accredited installation technicians to avoid the problems caused by the poor installation practices of unregulated businesses and unqualified fitters.

Customer satisfaction with a safe installation is the prime directive for all MESF members.

The MESF is an Approved Assessment Centre of the Institute of the Motor Industry and follows the motor industry’s National Occupational Standards in its Code of Practice and qualifications.
