VID FIREKILL EARNS WORLD’S FIRST FM APPROVAL FOR WATER MIST SYSTEMS PROTECTING HAZARD CATEGORY 2 AND 3 OCCUPANCIES
)
The VID FIREKILL Low Pressure
Water Mist System was tested and certified to FM Approvals Standard 5560 for Water Mist Systems,
setting a new benchmark for fire protection in high-risk environments.
Alex Palle, CEO of VID FIREKILL, said:
“Our mission is to protect people, property, and business
continuity with environmentally responsible fire protection solutions. FM
Approvals plays a key role in that mission, pushing us to meet the highest
performance standards in the world. We are proud of this achievement, which
validates the quality of our technology and reinforces a clear message to the
market: FM Approved means trusted, tested, and ready to perform.”
For the first time, it is
now possible to fully protect all areas of buildings classified up to HC-2 or
HC-3 with an FM Approved
water mist system.
Examples of occupancies
falling under these categories include:
·
Data
centers
·
Industrial
and manufacturing facilities (vehicle assembly, electronics assembly, plastics
manufacturing, woodworking, etc.)
·
Retail,
theaters, and food production facilities
·
Complex
buildings with high combustible loads
These environments,
characterized by high operational continuity and increased fire loads, require performance-validated solutions that can suppress fires
effectively while minimizing collateral damage to critical infrastructure.
Miguel Martinez, CCO of VID FIREKILL, added:
“Achieving FM Approval for HC-2 and HC-3 represents a major technical and
strategic milestone. This process has validated years of innovation, testing,
and engineering excellence.”
Àlex Palau, CTO, concluded:
“Working with FM Approvals has pushed us to refine our systems even further.
The technical dialogue with their team helped us strengthen every iteration of
our products.”
A certification
built for the future
The increasing presence of
lithium-ion
batteries and new
technologies in data centers and industrial facilities makes it essential to
adopt fire protection systems tested under the most demanding conditions. VID
FIREKILL’s low-pressure water mist systems provide fast and reliable fire
suppression, minimizing damage and ensuring business continuity.
