The 2002 ‘List of Approved Fire and Security Products and Services’ – more commonly known as the Red Book – has just been published by the Loss Prevention Certification Board (LPCB).
Available in hard copy and on CD-Rom, the Red Book is widely acknowledged as the leading products and systems guide for security specifiers, clients and insurers. Each product or service listed has been put through a rigorous system of testing and assessment to ensure that they are ‘fit for purpose’.

Security managers responsible for fire protection will be interested to learn that Part 7 (Fixed Fire-Fighting Systems) now includes gaseous system component approval to the European standards in readiness for CE marking.

Copies of the Red Book are available free of charge from the Building Research Establishment (the LPCB’s agent). Telephone 01923 664100 for ordering details.
