What is CAS?
CAS stands for Common Assessment Standard and is a form of accreditation that was first introduced by the Civil Engineering Contractors Association (CECA) and Build UK.
It was created as a way to reduce the number of inefficiencies that not only put people at risk but cost the construction industry around a billion pounds per year.
In order to achieve CAS accreditation, you need to meet certain requirements. It comprises an industry-agreed set of questions that are based on existing questionnaires, including PAS 91, as well as corresponding assessment standards.
The accreditation is backed by over 30 of the biggest clients in the industry, and aims to save you time, effort, and money that you’d spend on other relevant accreditations.
As well as being backed by a large number of construction clients, CAS accreditation includes 3 major assessment bodies - CHAS Elite, Achilles Building Confidence, and Constructionline Gold.
CAS was created to standardise the prequalification process, which not only reassures contractors and clients and helps them find reliable business opportunities but reduces risk in the supply chain.
The scheme was designed based on the PAS 91 prequalification and helps contractors to achieve the right compliance. It also helps businesses and individuals to lower risk across a variety of risk management areas.
The Common Assessment Standard is one of the best and most comprehensive accreditation schemes that we can support you with at Beaconrisk. The accreditation covers a total of 12 main areas of risk management.

To successfully complete CAS (the Common Assessment Standard), two levels of certification must be completed to obtain the certificate. The first is a series of prequalification questions that you must complete on your computer. These questions are centred around risk management in which you will need to provide documentation that supports your answers.
The second part is SSIP health and safety, although it is fairly similar to the first process in the sense that you have prequalification questions - although, these will be related to health and safety and you will need to provide physical evidence and training documentation here.
Prequalification questions are involved in both the SSIP and pas91 accreditation. However, the Common Assessment Standard builds on pas91 by including a SSIP health and safety accreditation questionnaire. This can be completed through CHAS Elite, Acclaim, Achilles and so on. Once everything is in order and you have your certification, this will need to be completed once every year.
