Gruppo Sicurezza Ambiente

What Gruppo Sicurezza Ambiente does

Gruppo Sicurezza Ambiente (GSA) is an Italian Type A inspection body (Organismo di ispezione di tipo A) accredited by ACCREDIA and authorized by the Ministry of Enterprises and Made in Italy (MIMIT). Founded per firmographic records in 1998 and repositioned in 2016 to specialize exclusively in periodic inspections, the company is headquartered in San Giovanni in Persiceto (province of Bologna, Emilia-Romagna) and operates nationally with 11–50 employees. GSA delivers mandatory periodic inspections across electrical installations (DPR 462/01), work equipment (D.Lgs. 81/2008 Annex VII), elevators and lifting systems (DPR 162/99), electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE), photovoltaic interface and general protection systems (SPI/SPG), electromedical equipment, and certified thermographic investigations, serving employers, condominium administrators, healthcare facilities, public administration, construction and industrial operators, and EV charging infrastructure operators.

The technical foundation rests on certified instrumentation operated under the UNI CEI EN ISO/IEC 17020 Type A framework, which imposes the highest level of third-party independence — GSA cannot design, install, or maintain the systems it inspects. Field capabilities include thermographic cameras operated by personnel certified per UNI EN ISO 9712 Levels 1 and 2, certified relay test equipment (cassetta prova relè certificata) for SPI/SPG verification under ARERA regulation, and EVSE test procedures compliant with CEI 61851-1 and CEI 64-8/7 Section 722. These capabilities generate legally binding verbali di ispezione used as official compliance documentation by employers and property owners.

GSA operates a professional services revenue model with quote-based pricing structured around an inspection-type fee schedule (Tariffario Verifiche) and pay-as-you-go billing. Go-to-market is direct via website inquiry, phone, and email, supplemented by a customer portal (gsa.verigest.it) and recurring industry event participation. The company is privately held as a Società a responsabilità limitata with €10,000 share capital, no disclosed funding rounds, no parent company, and no external investment. Revenue is not publicly disclosed.
