The FM 5970 Approval adds to certifications, such as the UL mark, SPCR 197 and 199, and AS 5062:2016, that Fogmaker already held for its fire suppression systems for vehicles, machines, and enclosed spaces.
The Sweden-based company develops, manufactures, and markets fire suppression systems with high-pressure water-based mist for vehicles and machines.
Mario Flores, key account manager and responsible for the Mining Segment, welcomed the news.
“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,” he said.
CEO Lars Alrutz said the product had stood up to rigorous testing and the FM Approval would allow Fogmaker to better serve its customers in the mining segment.
“This is a significant step towards achieving our vision of creating safer environments globally,” he said.
The testing and approval were performed with the company’s new Eco 1 suppressant – a liquid that is 100% PFAS-Free and GreenScreen CertifiedTM at the silver level.
Fogmaker has partners in more than 60 countries, two subsidiaries and over 350,000 systems installed.
