Fire and security manufacturer Texecom has become the first company in the world to be awarded the prestigious BSI Kitemark for EN54-5 and EN54-7 certification of the popular Exodus fire detectors.

The award was presented to Texecom during the International Fire Expo at Birmingham's NEC, held alongside IFSEC. The BSI Kitemark has been internationally recognised for over 100 years and provides specifiers and consumers with confidence in the quality and safety of certified products.

Since its launch, the Exodus series of smoke and heat detectors has gained a reputation for quality and reliability, Texecom says. The range includes optical/heat multisensors, rate of rise heat detectors, and fixed temperature heat detectors for use with both conventional fire and security systems.
