Firetrace Ltd has recently been certified by the Loss Prevention Certification Board (LPCB). The Ipswich-based, family-owned company says only a handful of fire suppression product suppliers have achieved the LPCB Standard LPS1666. Firetrace Ltd are the only UK valve manufacturing company to gain the accreditation.
The Loss Prevention Certification Board is an international certification body for security and fire protection products. LPCB approval is recognised by governments and regulatory authorities, especially in Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Middle East.
The new standard was developed by the LPCB to endorse performance of Direct Pneumatic Tube based suppression systems. The approval process involved assessment and testing of Firetrace’s products to ensure that they meet quality standards set by insurers, engineers and scientists.
A product that has been awarded the LPCB stamp of approval means that it is a product that will reduce the risk of theft and/or fire. Firetrace will now be listed the LPCB’s ‘Red Book’, which is available online to specifiers and others. Any clients purchasing a Firetrace fire suppression system will know that they are buying a product that has been manufactured by an ISO9001 approved company that will protect them from the threat of major fire damage.
Tim Melton Joint MD Firetrace Ltd says: “We are proud to be have gained LPCB approval for our pneumatic tubing system. This award recognises our position as an innovative and leading company in the field of fire suppression systems.”
