TASSA Registered Installer Bradford | Autowatch Ghost

TASSA — The Tracking and Aftermarket Security Systems Association — is the UK body that verifies aftermarket vehicle security: the products, the companies that fit them, and the individual engineers doing the work.

It exists for a simple reason. In 2019, Thatcham Research stopped accrediting aftermarket alarms and immobilisers — and TASSA (established 2018) became the recognised verification body for that category.

For you, that means one thing: when a TASSA Verified product is fitted by a TASSA Registered installer, you get an official TASSA Certificate of Installation to give your insurer — and your installation is recorded on the TASSA database, which is linked to the Police National Computer.

Since Thatcham stepped back

The accreditation that took over from Thatcham for immobilisers

Thatcham still approves trackers — our Scorpion Track systems remain Thatcham-approved. But for aftermarket immobilisers like the Ghost, TASSA is the standard insurers look for.

2019

Thatcham stepped back

Thatcham Research withdrew from accrediting aftermarket alarms and immobilisers, leaving the category without its long-standing benchmark.

Gap

Insurers still needed proof

Insurers still need independent verification of what security is fitted to a vehicle — and who fitted it.

TASSA

The new benchmark

TASSA (est. 2018) is now the recognised route: TASSA Verified products, TASSA Registered installers, and a certificate insurers recognise.

Why the installer matters

A Ghost is only as good as its certificate

The Autowatch Ghost-II is superb hardware — but its TASSA verification is only valid when it's fitted by a TASSA-registered installer. Get that wrong and you're left with protection your insurer won't recognise.

Self-fitted Ghost

TASSA verification is only valid when the Ghost is fitted by a TASSA-registered installer. A self-fit leaves you with a certificate your insurer won't accept.

Non-registered installer

A cheaper, non-registered fit gives you the same hardware — but no valid certificate and no entry on the TASSA database.

Nothing on record

If the worst happens, there's no record of your security on the TASSA database for your insurer — or the police — to check.

Insurance

Recognised by insurers — evidence in your hand

A TASSA Verified immobiliser fitted by a TASSA Registered installer is insurance recognised. It may reduce your premium, and it could make higher-risk or frequently-stolen models easier to insure — some insurers now require verified security on exactly those vehicles.

We keep the claims clean: our Scorpion Track trackers are Thatcham-approved, and our Autowatch Ghost immobilisers are TASSA Verified — each carries the right certification for its category, and you get the paperwork for both. Read more about insurance-approved trackers.

FAQs

TASSA, answered

What does TASSA Registered mean?

TASSA — The Tracking and Aftermarket Security Systems Association — registers companies whose engineers have passed identity and DBS background checks and whose work meets TASSA standards. Every installation is logged on the TASSA database and comes with an official Certificate of Installation.

Is TASSA the same as Thatcham approval?

No. Thatcham Research stopped accrediting aftermarket alarms and immobilisers in 2019, and TASSA is now the recognised verification body for that category. Our Scorpion Track trackers remain Thatcham-approved; our Autowatch Ghost immobilisers are TASSA Verified.

Will my insurer accept a TASSA certificate?

TASSA is the recognised verification body for aftermarket immobilisers, and the Certificate of Installation is the standard evidence insurers ask for. Acceptance is always your insurer's decision, so confirm with them directly — but the certificate, backed by the TASSA database record, is exactly what they need to verify your security.

Can I fit a Ghost immobiliser myself?

You can buy one, but the TASSA verification is only valid when it's fitted by a TASSA-registered installer. A self-fit or non-registered installation leaves you with a certificate your insurer won't accept — and no entry on the TASSA database.

How do I check that Invisi Track is TASSA registered?

Use the public "Find a TASSA Installer" directory on the TASSA website — every registered company is listed. We're happy to show you our registration when you visit, too.

What is the TASSA database and why does it matter?

Every registered installation is recorded on the TASSA database, which is linked to the Police National Computer. If your vehicle is stolen, the security fitted to it is on record and your insurer can verify your certificate.
