How can you be sure your facilities are built to last, or that the loss prevention products you’ve installed have been tested to verify their intended performance? We set worldwide standards for contractors, builders and manufacturers to adhere to, so you know they’re meeting the highest levels of safety and resilience.
For example, our FM Approvals® product testing service tells you instantly if an industrial or commercial product or service meets these high standards. If a product has an FM APPROVED mark, that means it’s been through the certification testing process to verify its function as intended.
Highlights of the International Codes and Standards report include marked advances in Brazil, Asia and Europe, the second presentation of the IC&S Advocacy Award, and a feature story that looks into how the challenges of improving codes and standards have changed in the last decade.
Are you taking the right steps to reduce the risk of property loss due to fire, weather and equipment failure? Start with our industry standard-setting guidelines.
When you see a product or service with the “FM APPROVED” certification mark, you can be sure it meets the highest property loss prevention product testing and certification standards.
FM conducts research for use in the FM Data Sheets that our engineering field staff use to support our client’s efforts to protect their business. The research is also used to enhance external standards and codes. This section contains reports that are generated to update national and international codes and standards.
