Hochiki's Life Safety System Achieves BOSEC Accreditation

Global leaders in life safety manufacturing and design, Hochiki, have achieved BOSEC approval for their life safety system incorporating their ESP addressable fire detection devices and their Latitude fire alarm control panel.

Hochiki’s ESP (Enhanced System Protocol) Range and the Latitude CIE are already EN 54 Part 13 certified, however with this additional certification in place it provides fire system designers and engineers in the Belgium region, as well as bordering countries Luxemburg, the Netherlands and Germany, greater choice of fire detection products and systems to choose from.

What is BOSEC?

BOSEC is the quality benchmark for fire protection in Belgium managed and controlled by ANPI, a non-profit association founded on the initiative of Belgian insurance companies. The Members of ANPI are all industrial federations and professional associations concerned with the prevention of fires and thefts. Various public authorities are also represented within the group.

The BOSEC accreditation is one of Europe’s highest quality marks requiring brands to undergo stringent and lengthy approval processes.

It covers products for passive fire prevention and active fire prevention, as well as those organisations who work within the fire industry, such as installers and system designers.

Powerful and Reliable

The Latitude range of fire alarm control equipment combines the very latest hardware and software to produce a control and indication system which is powerful and sophisticated, yet simple to use and understand.

The modular approach of the Latitude platform is such that it can be re-configured to realise many other control and indication applications, with direct integration into intelligent buildings via BMS.

Now with its BOSEC approval adding to its existing EN 54 Part 13 approval and its recent acquisition of Denmark's prestigious DBI certification, this innovative life safety platform provides the very best in terms of reliability, functionality and flexibility.

The Dual Loop Module provides two addressable loops, up to 4 Dual Loop Modules can be fitted to 2 to 8 loop versions of the panel and up to 8 Dual Loop Modules can be fitted to 2 to 16 loop versions. The module monitors loop device status and provides status to the LCD Main Processor Board. It communicates with all other parts of the panel to maintain the integrity of alarm and fault functions and EN54-2 requirements.

The Network Card provides supervised, enhanced high-speed network communication between Latitude panels, utilising two full Duplex RS485 outputs, one for networking of Latitude Panels and one for interfacing to Schraner fire brigade equipment to support the German market.

The Latitude Vision Network Repeater allows a full display and optional control of the Latitude fire alarm control panel from a small and unobtrusive local control station.

The Media Gateway Card is a communication device which facilitates seamless integration between Latitude and other products such as the Lati-View graphics software system, Virtual Resource and the Vizu-Linx Alarm Management Solution.

Addressable, World-Renowned Fire Detection

Hochiki’s ESP Intelligent range of automatic fire detection and alarm equipment is designed and manufactured to the highest international standards, offering life safety products and systems of incomparable reliability. This extensive range of products includes high performance sensors, a wide selection of input and output modules, and ancillaries. The range has also been extended and approved for marine applications and SIL2 system installations.

All products use Hochiki’s high integrity communications link, ENHANCED SYSTEM PROTOCOL (ESP) that is fundamental to the range.

Specified in many prestigious projects, ESP is a secure, expandable open digital protocol that, together with Hochiki’s Intelligent range of devices, is the premier choice for system designers.
