Air Plants Dust Extraction Ltd is proud to announce that we have achieved accreditation under JOSCAR, the Joint Supply Chain Accreditation Register, for our dust extraction and LEV works carried out for the Ministry of Defence (MOD), the Ministry of Justice (MOJ) and other public sector clients.
Quick facts: Air Plants Dust Extraction Ltd — 125+ years of experience, 50,000+ installations, a family-run manufacturer and installer based in Leicester — is now JOSCAR accredited, confirming we meet the rigorous supply chain, quality and compliance standards required to work with the UK’s defence, security and public sector organisations.
JOSCAR (the Joint Supply Chain Accreditation Register) is the UK’s recognised due diligence and pre-qualification system for suppliers to the aerospace, defence, security and space sectors. It was established by the ADS Group — the trade association for these industries — and is administered by Hellios Information Ltd.
Rather than each buying organisation running its own separate supplier checks, JOSCAR provides a single, independently verified profile covering a supplier’s health and safety record, financial standing, quality management, insurance, information security, business continuity and general compliance. Major public sector bodies and prime contractors use JOSCAR to identify suppliers who have already demonstrated they meet these standards, which is why registration is widely treated as a mark of trust and reliability across defence and public sector procurement.
Dust extraction and LEV (Local Exhaust Ventilation) work on MOD, MOJ and other public sector sites comes with a different level of scrutiny than standard commercial installations. Contractors need to demonstrate consistent health and safety practice, robust quality control, financial stability and, in many cases, appropriate security awareness before they’re even considered for a project.
Achieving JOSCAR accreditation means that verification work has already been done. It gives procurement teams, facilities managers and principal contractors confidence that Air Plants Dust Extraction has been independently assessed against the standards these sectors require — without needing to run a separate due diligence exercise for every new project.
Air Plants Dust Extraction Ltd has been designing, manufacturing and installing dust extraction and dust control systems since 1897. Over more than 125 years, we’ve completed more than 50,000 installations across the UK, and today JOSCAR accreditation sits alongside our existing Safe Contractor status and other industry accreditations.
For MOD, MOJ and wider public sector clients, this growing set of credentials reflects the same standard we apply to every project we take on: a nationwide, UK-manufactured service backed by decades of engineering experience, whether we’re fitting out a secure facility, a defence site or a public building.
With JOSCAR accreditation in place, Air Plants Dust Extraction is positioned to support a wider range of defence, justice and public sector dust extraction and LEV projects, including:
