The BRE says that its Loss Prevention Certification Board (LPCB) has become aware of a range of upright and sidewall counterfeit fire sprinkler heads that have been marked with the FIREX brand logo and carry the LPCB certification mark.
But BRE says that FIREX - The Emirates Fire Fighting Equipment Factory LLC - does not produce or supply any LPCB-approved sprinkler heads, therefore any sprinkler head carrying the FIREX name and the LPCB logo are counterfeit. Their reliability is not certified by the LPCB.
A spokesman for Firex said: "Firex is working closely with BRE to identify the source of these sprinkler heads and will take the appropriate action as, and when, the source is discovered."
