Firetrace International has announced a trio of major international awards for its EMEA facility based near Gatwick in the UK. The Fairlawn facility, which has been in operation for less than a year, has been awarded CE [Conformité Européene or European Conformity] Approved status at its first attempt. In the same fortnight, it also secured ISO-9001:2008 status and FM [Factory Mutual] approval.

The CE approval is added to the facility's existing DOT [Department of Transportation] approval, which will be a major boost for increasing FIRETRACE® penetration of the "micro-environment" fire protection market throughout Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

Commenting on the significance of the awards, EMEA General Manager, Nick Grant says: "These awards are irrefutable evidence of the quality of our manufacturing processes and substantiate the professionalism of the Firetrace International EMEA organisation. They also expose the miles of clear water between genuine FIRETRACE and the untested and unapproved imitators. He continues: "Genuine FIRETRACE is the only tube-operated system anywhere in the world - bar none - that has been tested as an automatic fire detection and suppression system."

He concludes: "Today FIRETRACE is providing cost-effective, fast-reaction, unsupervised protection for over 100,000 pieces of "micro-environment" business-critical equipment around the world, stopping fires before they can do expensive and possibly irreparable damage. They are safeguarding production machines, electrical cabinets, machinery housings, wind turbines, engine compartments, fume cupboards, IT servers and a wide variety of technical systems."

Genuine FIRETRACE is available only via Firetrace International's global network of authorised distributors. These trading partners are skilled in hazard analysis, agent and system selection, installation, commissioning and support, and use only genuine FIRETRACE components. Details of these authorised distributors are available by contacting Firetrace International at info@firetrace.com.
