The Quality and security of supply is guaranteed because all our products are sourced from Irish and European suppliers and meet the standards set by the NSAI-National Standards Authority of Ireland.

According to Brendan Mooney, MD of Aqua Fire Prevention, “IRELAND over the last 15 years, have become a dumping ground for poor quality fire extinguishers from the Far East. The quality was so bad that these extinguishers failed to work, or they would discharge their contents in the office or warehouse or wherever they were supplied to.”
