Loss Prevention Standards
Our Loss Prevention Standards are produced to help ensure that a product or service meets the needs of users or where a new unproven technology is introduced.
A team of experts is formed to research and draft a standard which is then reviewed, assessed and endorsed by stakeholders representing the major interest groups. These standards are always open to revision and suggestions for improvement are always welcomed.
The following product areas are covered by our own Loss Prevention Standards:
- Building Products
- Firebreak Doors and Shutters
- Fire Detection and Alarm Systems
- Portable Fire Extinguishers and Fire Hose Reels
- Automatic Sprinkler, Water Spray and Deluge Systems
- Security Systems
- Fixed Fire Fighting Systems
- Smoke and Fire Ventilation Systems
The Loss Prevention Standards (LPS) are for information only and should not be used for any other purpose. Their use is subject to interpretation by our experts, and we take no responsibility for their use by others.
