Marine-approved Fire Detection System

Designed for demanding marine applications, our intelligent and conventional products deliver reliable fire detection performance. They are tested to cope with vibration, saltwater exposure and dust. Both ranges are based on the proven ESP and CDX platforms and are DNV-approved under the MED scheme.

What is MED Marine Approval?

The M.E.D. 96/98/EC Directive is an initiative of the European Commission (EC) in the European Union (EU) set up with the intention to reduce costs for the end user by having a simplified classification model for marine approvals.

All approved and authorised products are stored in the MarED database, which to date, contains more than 35,000 datasets about products approved under the EU Marine Equipment Directive.

Products are strictly tested by a third party, such as DNV, for use in the marine environment before being granted an approval certificate.
