Fireaway’s Stat-X Expands Sales Opportunities in Europe with a New UL-EU Certification from UL Solutions
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. – Fireaway Inc. is proud to announce that its Stat-X® electrically operated fire suppression generator product line has received UL-EU certification from UL Solutions to the EN 15276-1 standard—marking a significant milestone in safety, performance, and global market access.
Achieving compliance with stringent international standards like EN 15276-1 demonstrates Fireaway’s unwavering commitment to technical excellence and regulatory rigor. “This certification is a testament to our team’s relentless pursuit of quality, safety, and innovation. Meeting the EN 15276-1 standard through UL Solutions not only validates our technology—it strengthens our promise to customers worldwide who rely on Stat-X for critical fire suppression needs,” says Lance Harry, P.E., President and CEO of Fireaway.
“While many fire suppression systems claim efficacy, only those that meet the most demanding third-party testing benchmarks earn this level of recognition. UL Solutions is proud to support efforts in delivering trusted fire suppression solutions to the global market,” says Karine Johnfroe, vice president and general manager of the Built Environment group at UL Solutions.
The Significance of EN 15276-1 Certification
EN 15276-1 is the European standard governing the design, testing, and performance of condensed aerosol fire suppression systems. Certification validates that a system can reliably suppress Class A, Class B, and Class C fires while ensuring safety for both humans and the environment.
For Stat-X, this certification brings:
- Expanded global market access: Compliance with EN standards facilitates entry into Europe’s multi-billion-euro fire suppression market.
- Enhanced industry credibility: Neutral, third-party validation reinforces the performance safety claims of Stat-X systems.
- Competitive differentiation: Stat-X is currently the only aerosol system worldwide to achieve this certification through the globally recognized processes of UL Solutions.
This new certification meets existing customer demands while unlocking additional sales opportunities for our European distributor partners across a range of commercial and industrial applications. Some of our top performing distributors and customers specifically requested this approval to support projects that require EN certification, empowering them to further expand their market presence.
Although the approved generators retain the same core functionality as our current Stat-X product line, this new designation affirms our ongoing commitment to innovation and adaptability in the face of evolving industry standards.
