Bringing your site into compliance starts with an assessment
A fire system can look perfectly operational while harbouring regulatory gaps, obsolete equipment or inconsistencies that never show up day to day.
For over 65 years, DEF has helped operators analyse, bring into compliance and upgrade their fire safety systems.

Your compliance is not always obvious
Some breaches stay out of sight
Until the inspection, the formal condition… or the fire.
Liability incurred
If an incident occurs, you may be held directly liable.
Operations blocked
A breach can lead to formal conditions, restrictions or a shutdown.
Insurance cover weakened
Regulatory gaps can complicate a claim after a fire.
Ageing system
Much of the equipment becomes incompatible, obsolete or unmaintainable.
