With our impressive smoke and heat tunnel capabilities, we can offer full compliance testing for CE and Kitemark schemes against the required standards for smoke and heat detectors.
UK Fire and rescue services recommend that homes are fitted with a smoke detector with a BSI Kitemark. You are more than twice as likely to die in a fire at home if you haven't got a smoke alarm. A smoke alarm is the easiest way to alert you to the danger of fire, giving you precious time to escape. Look for the BSI Kitemark on these products to give you peace of mind.
Here are some of the main standards we test and certify against in this product range:
