Identifies the key processes used to test and approve fire suppression products. It discusses the risks of assuming compatibility between different codes and standards, which may ultimately impact on the safety of both people and property in fire. It also looks at the key differences between the types of documentary evidence used to support products placed on the market in the form of test reports compared with third-party certification, and the potential impact of these differences on the traceability and independence of the data and ultimately the quality of products.
