Fogmaker International AB received FM Approval

Fogmaker International AB are pleased to announce a new certification for their fire suppression product. The High-Pressure HDME Fire-Suppression System is now FM Approved, a certification that is important for use in the mining industry.

With partners in more than 60 countries, two subsidiaries, and over 350,000 systems installed, Fogmaker is a leader in fire suppression systems for vehicles, machines, and enclosed spaces. With the recent FM 5970 Approval, the system that already held certifications such as the UL mark, SPCR 197 and 199, and AS 5062:2016 has become the most tested and certified in the world.

Mario Flores, Key Account Manager and responsible for the Mining Segment says, “This is very exciting. We’re not just certified, we’re approved at the highest level and verified by the most respected certification bodies in the world.”

Lars Alrutz, CEO, adds, “We are thrilled with the new certification. Our product has stood up to rigorous testing and the FM Approval will allow us to better serve our valued customers in the Mining segment. This is a significant step towards achieving our vision of creating safer environments globally.”

The testing and approval have been performed with the company’s new Eco 1 suppressant – a liquid that is 100% PFAS-Free and GreenScreen CertifiedTM at the silver level – and shows that it is possible to combine fire protection with sustainability.
