HOCHIKI EUROPE has announced the introduction of a new fire detection range that is independently evaluated and certified to meet the strict requirements of Safety Integrity Level 2 (SIL2), with respect to the IEC 61508 Functional Safety of Electrical/Electronic/Programmable Electronic Safety-Related Systems standard.
The new SIL2 range includes smoke sensors, multi-sensors, multi-heat sensors, manual call points, sounders and sounder beacons, and a wide variety of detectors. These devices are expected to be of interest to those responsible for configuring life safety systems in hazardous environments such as the oil, gas, petrochemical, manufacturing, transport and process control industries.
SIL approval is fast becoming a prerequisite in the oil and gas markets all over the world, from Australia to the Middle East, North Africa and offshore in the UK. It is also increasingly stipulated for projects within the rail transport sector.
