Frequently asked questions
I provide door-keeping and access control without weapons in a building — ATECO code 80.01.21 or armed security?
Yes, 80.01.21. This code covers unarmed private security, including passive security services such as door-keeping, monitoring entry and exit flows, and alarm response. Armed escort services and armoured-vehicle operations fall instead under 80.01.29.
I handle ticket checking and anti-theft surveillance in a shop — does this fall under unarmed security or retail services?
It falls here. The ATECO code description explicitly lists ticket checking at entry points, anti-robbery and anti-theft surveillance, and alarm response under 80.01.21. This is guarding and passive security. If instead you provide security consulting without a physical on-site presence, see 80.09.00.
I work as a steward and provide unarmed security at events and concerts — is that 80.01.21 or a different security code?
Typically, when it comes to security personnel at events and concerts, the relevant code is 80.01.29, which explicitly mentions these roles. Code 80.01.21 covers fixed unarmed guarding, such as door-keeping and access control in buildings and shops.
