Fire and security products and services LPCB certification – a mark you can trust
www.redbooklive.com
LPCB (the Loss Prevention Certification Board) has been working with industry, specifiers and government since 1868 to set the standards needed to ensure that fire products and services perform effectively.
LPCB offers third-party approval to European, International, British and its own Loss Prevention Standards (LPS). LPCB, part of BRE Group, is accredited by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS). BRE Global also offers approval to Management Systems standards.
LPCB certification provides assurances to all parties involved in construction projects, from the product manufacturer, specifier, asset owner, insurer, mortgage company through to the end user. Independent third party certification demonstrates that the product/service is produced consistently and will perform as specified.
Visit LPCB’s RedBook to search listed products, companies and download LPCB standards www.redbooklive.com.
Performance claims for fire and security products and services that are not backed up by third-party certification can be misleading. Third-party certification provides independent confirmation that products and services have met – and will continue to meet (given correct installation and maintenance) – appropriate standards.
