The AMFE also is RoHS conform (and confirms to the EU 2002/95/EC standard).
Manufacturer
JOB is the worldwide leader for sprinkler thermo-bulbs and produces more than 110 million pieces of these temperature detection products annually. As the leading brand in fire detection, JOB stands for uncompromised quality. Besides complying with ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and carrying other relevant certifications from organizations around the globe, JOB has a confirmed failure rate of less than 0,001 ppm in its fire detection components.
Certification
Using AMFE for fire protection is easy, reliable and safe. Integrating AMFE to enhance fire safety of applications is not prohibited or not allowed by any standard or code requirement.
At this time, there is no certification required for using AMFE for fire protection in electrical devices or machines and there is no standard AMFE can be certified for. However, the components it is made of components which carry the following certificates:
Detection device
JOB sprinkler bulbs are globally certified and carry relevant UL (VNIV2.EX4040), VDS (VdS 2344:2014-07, VdS 2160:2000-05), LPCB (LPCB 1039) and other certificates.
The internal spring is manufactured based on EN 10270-3-1.4310 and DIN ISO 2859/1.
Pressure cylinder
The heavy-duty cylinders are manufactured in Germany for robustness and safety (ISO 9001:2015). They carry the PI (Π) mark indicating the compliance with ADR/RID §1.8.7.6., as well as ADR 2013, EN 13322-1:2003+A1:2006 (DEKRA-notified body for pressure equipment (2010/35/EU, 2008/68/EG), checked by Bureau Veritas SA – N° CDG-I-WEL 002-16-DEU.
Extinguishing agent
3M™ NOVEC™ is a globally used ISO, NFPA, VdS (and others) approved, fire extinguishing agent (FK-5-1-12). Additionally, it complies with the REACH requirements.
Overall system
The S-AMFE is certified based on DIN EN 45545-2:2016-2, Section 4.2h and ARGE-Guideline Part 2 i.c.w., ARGE-Guideline Part 1 for rail-guided vehicles as well as DIN EN 15004-2, DIN EN 61373, DIN EN 60068-2-1, DIN EN 60068-2-2, DIN EN 60068-2-27, DIN EN-60068-2-30, DIN EN 50155, 2010/35/EU followed by Extinguishing capability tests executed by the independent MPA-Dresden.
The S-AMFE is shock tested based on DIN EN 60068-2-27:2010, and vibration and climate tested based on DIN EN 61373:2011 and EN 50155:2007. The R-AMFE will follow at least the same tests as the S-AMFE.
