BS8484's official title is the ‘Code of Practice for the provision of lone worker device services’.
It was written originally by Patrick Dealtry, who also chaired the British Standards Institute committee which produced it as a British Standard.
A Code of Practice has no effect until an organisation establishes it as a requirement.
In this case two organisations have done so;
* ACPO, (the Association of Chief Police Officers), has stated it is a requirement that any organisation which supplies such services must be certified to BS8484 before they can receive the highest level of police response
* The BSIA (British Security Industry Association), requires all members of their Lone Worker group to be fully certified to BS8484.
Only 2 organisations are licensed to provide such certification; the National Security Inspectorate (NSI) and SSAIB
