New test laboratory for fire detection systems

For decades, DBI has conducted accredited fire tests and been a highly trusted partner for clients all over the world. Now we have expanded our test facilities with a new state-of-the-art laboratory for Fire Detection Systems.

The laboratory ‘Fire Detection Test Lab’ is currently in the process of obtaining ISO 17025 accreditation for a series of EN54 standards, and is expected to achieve accreditation by November 2025.

However, we are already now accepting pre-orders for test evaluations. If you require pre-compliance assessments or R&D support related to the EN54 standards listed below, we can begin assisting you today.

Construction Standards

The initial accreditation for the new laboratory at DBI covers the following standards:

  • EN54-2: Control and Indicating Equipment
  • EN54-4: Power Supply Equipment
  • EN54-5: Heat Detectors – Point Heat Detectors 
  • EN54-7: Smoke Detectors - Point Detectors using scattered light, transmitted light or ionization
  • EN54-11: Manual Call Points
  • EN54-17: Short Circuit Isolators
  • EN54-18: Input/Output Devices

Maritime Standards

In the beginning of 2026, we will initiate the next accreditation process. This phase will include accreditation for the relevant marine standards.

Test and certification in one place

With our new facility, you can both test and certify your products in a single location, as DBI and our subsidiary, DBI Certification A/S, operate from the same address. Bringing testing and certification under one roof will make the process more efficient and ensure a faster time-to-market for your products.

Our aim is to create a collaborative system that allows us to work in close partnership with our clients, while ensuring you have full transparency throughout the entire process – from test to certification.
