Product development and innovation continues

PJ Fire — Sun, 19 Dec 2010 10:59:49 +0000

PJ Fire Limited is delighted to report considerable developments across all areas of the business. There have been two major product initiatives. In January of this year we added a unique 6L water extinguisher to our growing range of portable extinguishers.

Kite marked and Marine Equipment Directive (MED) 96/98/EC as amended by the Directive (2008/67/EC) approved this industry-leading product that positively addresses environmental issues. Having also successfully passed the 35Kv Di-electrical test the company is proud to add this extinguisher to our existing range of quality portable products.

Furthermore accreditation to the MED in July 2010 allows us to attach the familiar ‘ships wheel’ to our range of kite marked portable extinguishers. Peter Cowley, Sales Director “This exciting development qualifies our products to be installed both in marine and offshore environments”
