Certification for Fire Alarm Technology

The VdS laboratory for fire detection technology examines the entire range of products, which are used in the field of fire detection – from smoke alarms for private areas up to fire alarm control centres and indicating equipment, from individual alarm components up to the correct and regulation compliant interaction of all devices within a fire alarm system.

The fire detection technology laboratory of VdS spread over 1,500 square metres is a unique institution in Europe and offers ideal conditions to make safety and security quantifiable and to clearly demonstrate it to your customers.

Certification for detectors with CO sensor

with application-oriented VdS-Guidelines, ensuring reliability and facilitation for manufacturers.

Carbon monoxide occurs very early in case of fire, in the critical smouldering phase. Because of the well-known testing problems in the European standards for multi sensor detectors with combined smoke, heat and CO detection, VdS has developed practice-oriented requirements – an equivalent procedure to EN 54-26, -30, -31, but much less complex, so producers can achieve certifications easier and quicker.

You can find all the precise assistance for your protection and the highest level of safety for your customers in the freely available Guidelines for

point-type carbon monoxide detectors (VdS 6017)
multi-sensor fire detectors using a combination of carbon monoxide and heat sensors (VdS 6018)
multi-sensor fire detectors using a combination of smoke, carbon monoxide and optionally heat sensors (VdS 6019)
