In the United Kingdom, locksmiths and locksmith companies are approved by the Master Locksmiths Association or MLA after strict vetting. Regular inspections are conducted even after approval to ensure high quality of service by the locksmiths and locksmith companies. MLA is non-profit organisation that was established in 1958 to promote standard code of ethics and professional practices within the locksmithing industry. The British Home Office, the Police Department and the British Standards Institute have recognised MLA as an authoritative body in the field of locksmithing, apart from other trade bodies like Association of British Insurers, Building Research Establishment, etc.
