Geri DönThe importance of UL and FM Certificates in fire installation pipes
When it comes to safety and reliability, standards must be kept at the highest level throughout the sector and a certain quality and competence must be achieved. Since the fire installation pipe is of vital importance in the pipe production industry, the safety issue is too sensitive to be ignored. In this context, UL (Underwriters Laboratories) and FM (Factory Mutual) certificates, which are the most important certificates in the field of fire fighting, are preferred because they meet the highest standards.
What is UL Certification and Why is it Important?
UL is one of the world's largest public safety testing laboratories dedicated to creating a safer living environment for both workers and consumers. UL carries out product safety certifications and issues safety approvals to ensure product safety in the global marketplace and thus contribute to human health and property safety. In these laboratories, a safety check takes place that sets the standards required for new products, and continuous safety checks are carried out to ensure that products meet these standards. UL testing ensures that pipe sizes are correct or that devices can handle the amount of current they claim they can handle. It also allows products such as fire installations to be built correctly to achieve the highest safety.
UL Certification demonstrates a product's high safety standards and allows the product to comply with industry-wide best practices. UL certified product means high safety.
What is FM Certificate and Why is it Important?
FM is an independent technical organisation focused on researching and testing products to ensure they meet the highest standards for property loss prevention and safety. Due to safety requirements, various regulatory bodies around the world require product categories to be tested and approved by certification bodies or independent testing organisations. The reason for this practice is to restrict the entry of poor quality or low quality products into the market in order to reduce the risk faced by the sector. For example, the quality of the fire installation pipe is very important for fighting a fire in case of fire
FM Approval of products means that they conform to the highest standards of quality, technical integrity and performance. FM approvals have been a trusted source for property loss prevention and product evaluation for many years.
