Why Jensen Hughes FireMark?
Jensen Hughes FireMark helps manufacturers of fire protection products and systems in Australia differentiate their certified offerings from noncertified equivalents, allowing them to access global markets.
Architects, specifiers, contractors, and building owners can also utilise Jensen Hughes FireMark, which provides assurance that properly installed fire protection products and systems will perform as needed, thereby avoiding costly mistakes and dramatically reducing risk.
The Product Certification Process
Certification is the process of certifying that a product has passed relevant fire and/or quality assurance tests based on Australian standards, along with additional criteria defined in the certification scheme.
An important part of the Jensen Hughes FireMark scheme are our ongoing factory auditing requirements. These ensure that a mass-produced product maintains the same quality as its original tested product.
The Jensen Hughes FireMark Scheme
We analyse relevant test and assessment data to define the scope for certifying the product. A FPC (Factory Production Control) audit is performed at each site where the product is manufactured for the Australian market. The audit is conducted in general accordance with ISO 9001, as well as the additional requirements of the Jensen Hughes FireMark scheme.
During the FPC audit, we may sample the product and use those results as evidence towards the certification. The certification is then prepared based on the supporting data, test results, and FPC audit findings. An official certificate will be available from the product register, which helps promote the certification and create awareness for the certified products. A surveillance audit is conducted every twelve months and we will review the product every five years. Certified products will carry the Jensen Hughes FireMark brand.
