The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) has taken a significant step forward in enhancing its mission with the establishment of NFPA Global Solutions, a wholly-owned subsidiary focused on compliance solutions, digital products and advisory services. This initiative marks NFPA’s commitment to advancing safety through expanded offerings in fire protection and compliance, according to an announcement.

In a recently announced strategic move, NFPA Global Solutions acquired Dyne Fire Protection Labs, an independent testing laboratory specializing in maintaining compliance with essential fire protection codes and standards. The acquisition is said to underscore NFPA’s dedication to providing enhanced tools and resources to industry professionals worldwide.

Jim Pauley, president and CEO of NFPA, highlighted the evolving landscape of safety and the growing demand for advanced solutions. “NFPA Global Solutions and the acquisition of Dyne Fire Protection Labs respond directly to our customers’ needs for comprehensive products that support their critical roles,” he said. “This expansion will significantly broaden NFPA’s impact and further our mission to advance safety globally.”

Leading NFPA Global Solutions is Carlos Correia, who emphasized the strategic significance of the acquisition. “By incorporating Dyne Fire Protection Labs into NFPA Global Solutions, we strengthen our ability to offer state-of-the-art compliance testing aligned with NFPA standards,” Correia stated. “This marks the beginning of a broader strategy to introduce essential services that enhance safety and provide immense value across various industries.”

Dyne Fire Protection Labs, located in Woodbury, Minn., is an independent testing laboratory providing independent analysis of fire sprinklers, firefighting foams, antifreeze solutions and dry chemical agents to help building owners and/or their designated representatives fulfill various laboratory requirements in inspection, testing, and maintenance standards.
