FirePro expanded sales opportunities through LPCB certification

Back in 1994, FirePro first introduced its environmentally friendly condensed aerosol fire suppression technology. This was following a ban imposed by the Montreal Protocol and the Clean Air Act on ozone depleting substances such as HALON 1301, a widely used fire suppression agent at the time.

The relationship between FirePro and LPCB dates back to 1998, and LPCB’s history of providing independent third-party certification for fire and security products began over 100 years ago.

As a forward-thinking and customer-centric organisation FirePro identified that achieving certification to the newly developed Loss Prevention Standard (LPS 1656) was an opportunity to further demonstrate the quality of its products, as well as a requirement to expand into new markets

“LPCB certification is mandatory for gaining access to certain projects and accounts in the UK. Without it, we would forgo the benefits” explains Dr. Gian Guido Gianfilippi De Parenti, Executive Director at FirePro.

FirePro also welcomed the development of LPS 1204 Issue 3.2, that now includes certification requirements for companies installing, commissioning and servicing condensed aerosol systems.

FirePro strived to meet its promise of making the world safer by effecting advances in the fire suppression industry. The company decided to have its products tested and certified by LPCB because of the depth of knowledge and expertise that each LPCB specialist possesses.

Another driver was the gaining the instantly recognised LPCB certification mark, which provides confidence to specifiers, insurers and end users. This, along with LPCB’s reputation within the industry, has ensured that FirePro continue to work with BRE for their requirements.
