India relies on VdS certificates
The “Bureau of Indian Standards” has become the next organi-zation to recommend VdS standards for optimum fire protection. // Approval from VdS, Europe´s number One institute for fire protection, guarantees the certified reliability of products. // Come see the exhibition of German top engineering for fire pro-tection at the Fire India, Hall 1-F11.
VdS guidelines, which are well-known for their particularly high level of practice orientation, are being used as safety standards in a multi-tude of countries all over the world. The latest nation to put its trust in VdS guidelines is India, which continues to be one of the world´s most rapidly expanding economies, boasting economic growth of 5% in 2012. In its “Code of Practice”for automatic fire detection and alarm sys-tems, for example, the “Bureau of Indian Standards”recommends the use of systems that have been approved with a VdS certificate.
VdS-approved fire protection systems have proven that they will reliably save lives (as shown here in an EMC test). In-dian authorities now also recommend the standards produced by Europe’s top organization for safety & security.
“The standards announced by the Indian authorities are a recognition of both the achievements of our testing teams in the German VdS la-boratories and the skills and abilities of our clients who develop such reliable life-saving technologies”, states Jörg Wilms-Vahrenhorst, Head of the Fire Protection Department at the German institute VdS. “We are delighted that India has now joined the multitude of countries all over the world in recognizing our VdS certificate as a seal of ap-proval for high-quality safety and security.”
“In our high-tech world, there is a bewildering variety of electronic as well as mechanical systems protecting us from fire and theft. Thou-sands of complex technologies are available on the mar-ket”,emphasisesWilms. “With the VdS approval, the most important factor is guaranteed for producers and for customers: The certified reliability of products.”
The VdS certification mark provides guidance and creates trust – and thus equal benefits for both suppliers and consumers. A certification from Europe´s number One institute for fire protection and security documents the high quality and reliability of products. It provides manufacturers with clear positioning, thus giving them a crucial com-petitive advantage in the market.
The WIK Enquete(the most comprehensive security sector survey in Europe) has in 2013 and for many years in row confirmed that the most important factor for the experts responsible for decisions concerning investments in safety and security technology is the VdS certification mark.
VdS is now additionally supporting its clients on the subcontinent with a new trade fair concept. At the “Fire India”, the countries largest fire protection exhibition (taking place in Mumbai from 24th – 26th Octo-ber), a variety of VdS clients will showcase their innovations at a joint exhibition stand under the claim”Rely on Fire Protection Made in Germany”.
