Environmental legislation is having an increasing impact on fire and security products. A link is made between European Directives and environmental issues as new Regulations and Directives appear. Indeed, there is an increasing need to assess the environmental profiles of construction products (life cycle assessment) and to plan for ways in which negative impact can be minimised.

This impact is not isolated to product manufacture alone; there are strict regulations for the disposal of our products which the service and maintenance companies need to be aware of. Some products such as ionisation detectors and lead acid batteries need special handling if companies are to comply with relevant legislation.

Business certification to ISO 14001 is starting to become an increasingly important consideration as well as is the need to understand the impact onto the business of WEEE, RoHS, REACh and other environmental directives.
