FIA Approved Installer Scheme Mark 2

The Fibre optic Industry Association (FIA) has recently re-launched its approved installer scheme. This has two main purposes: firstly to ensure that customer using an approved installer get a risk-free, high quality installation and secondly, to make it easier for the installer to provide it. The software supplied to approved installers as part of the scheme ensures that over three hundred potential risks to a project are addressed and alleviated. The FIA now has the task of getting as many installers and integrators as possible join the scheme to give it critical mass, and recognition amongst the users and consultants. The scheme is soundly based on the demands of the BS 6701 and BS EN 50174 Standards. As believers that standards in IT infrastructure and data cabling need to be maintained, Lynx Networks were the first company to sign up to the scheme.
