LPS 1976 specifies requirements, test methods and performance criteria for video flame detectors which specifically detect changes in video images characterised by the properties of flames generated during the combustion of carbon-based materials.   Detectors complying with LPS 1976 will operate as primary systems, offering comparable levels of protection as other fire detectors to EN 54 standards.   Find out more about the journey from research to test standard for video flame detectors
