FireProtect 2 has now been certified according to BSI Kitemark, UK Conformity Assessed (UKCA), and EU Construction Product Regulation (CPR).

The certification provides Ajax Systems access to retail channels in England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. The BSI certification body is also recognized worldwide, including in Europe, the Indian Ocean region, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East. Apart from achieving compliance and making FireProtect 2 a fully certified solution in residential fire alarm systems, the BSI Kitemark certification imposes additional requirements such as bi-annual factory production control inspections, quality control standards, and more.

“Obtaining the BSI Kitemark, UKCA, and EU CPR certification provides us with further access to international residential fire and life safety markets, and expands customers' global reach,” said Paul Pope, global head of fire & life safety business at Ajax Systems and board member of the FIA. “Our partnership with the British Standards Institution (BSI, UK Approved Body) has also delivered the UKCA product certification to the new UK Government requirements for England, Wales, and Scotland. The new GB construction product legislation is planned to take effect from the 30th of June 2025.”

The whole certification process was conducted by the British Standards Institution (BSI), a trusted international company that provides quality assurance, testing, and certification services. With laboratories accredited by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service, BSI covers a wide range of product areas and has one of the widest testing and certification capabilities in the world. It guarantees reliability in what Ajax Systems offers.

“Obtaining BSI certification is a rigorous process that demands product quality and adherence to stringent industry standards,” said Robert Hearty, global commercial and technical manager, British Standards Institution (BSI). “Ajax demonstrated a strong commitment to safety and innovation throughout the certification process. Their team actively engaged with our experts, addressing feedback promptly and effectively.”
