This Order designates certain activities of security operatives for the purposes of section 3 of the Private Security Industry Act 2001 ("the 2001 Act"). Section 3(1) of the 2001 Act makes it an offence to engage in licensable conduct except under and in accordance with a licence granted by the Security Industry Authority.
Article 2(2)(a) of this Order designates, for the purposes of section 3 of the 2001 Act, the activities of security operatives engaged in manned guarding (as defined in paragraph 2 of Schedule 2 to the 2001 Act).

Article 2(2)(b) and (c) of this Order designates, for the purposes of section 3 of the 2001 Act, the activities of security operatives engaged in the immobilisation of vehicles (as defined in paragraph 3 of Schedule 2 to the 2001 Act) and the restriction and removal of vehicles (as defined in paragraph 3A of Schedule 2 to the 2001 Act). These activities were previously designated by the 2005 Order.
Article 2(2)(d) of this Order designates, for the purposes of section 3 of the 2001 Act, the activities of security operatives engaged in keyholding activities (as defined in paragraph 6 of Schedule 2 to the 2001 Act).
Article 3 of this Order revokes the 2005 Order.
