Safety a priority With a product category that plays a crucial role in safety, it is imperative that the products are of the highest quality, have undergone rigorous testing procedures and comply with all the relevant standards. As expected with a project of this scale and importance, ESPi has invested significantly to create a range of products to meet the company’s exacting requirements. The full Espire collection has been developed from scratch. The project underwent a thorough design process, involving extensive research, prototyping, and detailed refinement to ensure optimal functionality and user satisfaction. To maintain strict quality control measures and product consistency, the factory is subject to rigorous internal audits and measures. It utilises state of the art testing and manufacturing equipment alongside a highly experienced team. Compliance and sustainability The range has been designed to assist installers to meet the recommendations of I.S. 3218, the Irish Standard specification for fire detection and alarm systems for buildings – system design, installation, commissioning, servicing and maintenance. The range also complies with the relevant UK standards. All Espire products have undergone a meticulous design, development and manufacturing process at its dedicated factory. To ensure compliance with all relevant standards rigorous testing is conducted at various stages in the production process. Each alarm is tested a minimum of four times on the production line including the sensor, sounder, interface and functional tests, concluding with a final assembly test to ensure all alarms have been thoroughly checked and tested prior to installation All alarms have been tested by third party test houses and certified by LPCB (Loss Prevention Certification Board) and TUV, to meet the relevant product standards – BS EN 14604 for smoke alarms: BS 5446-2 for heat alarms and BS EN 50291-1 for CO alarms. All products in the Espire range come with a five year warranty. In line with the sustainability targets of its parent company, Scolmore Group, ESPi has taken a proactive stance on sustainability by integrating, where possible, eco-friendly materials and energyefficient designs across its product line-up. The company has used recyclable packaging material across the entire range, opting for eco-friendly, brown card packaging that is fully recyclable and 100% biodegradable.
