Standards we test against

General
Our standards give customers confidence that they can rely on your products and services to deliver the promised performance and benefits.
As well as contributing

As well as contributing to building regulations and managing codes and standards for government, our teams develop our own standards in partnership with external experts and industry.  We do this to help ensure that products or service perform as they should, and to support the introduction of new and unproven technologies.

Loss Prevention Standards

Loss Prevention Standards

The internationally respected suite of Loss Prevention Standards (LPS) give confidence that fire safety products and services will work effectively. This includes fire prevention, detection, alarm and suppression. They also cover security systems, providing confidence in the level of protection against criminal intrusions and terrorist attacks.

Environmental standards

The demand for greater sustainability has generated a large market for ‘green’ products, some of which come with dubious sustainability claims. Our environmental standards demonstrate that products and services genuinely achieve the sustainability benefits they claim.

Environmental standards include:
  • BREEAM
  • Environmental Technology Verification (ETV)
  • ISO 14001 Environmental Management System (EMS)
  • EN 15804 Environmental Product Declaration (EPD)
