GEZE UK SETS NEW STANDARDS
GEZE UK is setting new standards having achieved the ISO 45001:2018
accreditation for Health and
Safety – one of the first in
the industry to gain the new
award.
The company is also the
first of GEZE’s worldwide
subsidiaries to gain the
accreditation.
ISO 45001 is an
international standard that
specifies the requirements for
a management system that
uses robust and e ective processes for improving work safety in global supply
chains and is also the world’s first international standard for occupational health
and safety.
Designed to help organisations of all sizes and industries, ISO states that
the new international standard is expected to reduce workplace injuries and
illnesses.
The four-stage process presents a vigorous certification route to document
the company’s e orts towards implementing change and applying checks and
balances to ensure that standards are met.
The achievement follows the company’s previous successes when it achieved
ISO 9001 – quality and the ISO 14001 environmental standards.
Said Kaz Spiewakowski Managing Director of GEZE UK: “It is only through
a constant desire to improve and excel, that GEZE UK continues to change for
the better ensuring that the safety of our people, assets and anyone we work or
interact with is a priority.”

low-pressure
water mist nozzles that
fully comply with current VdS
test protocol to help control
fires while minimising damage
to buildings and assets.”
Benefits of a low-pressure
water mist system include
reduced water demand
and the ability to use
smaller diameter pipes,
which translates into lower
installation costs compared to traditional fire
protection systems. Since the system uses only
potable water without additives, it has no adverse
environmental impact.
New to the line is the AquaMist ULF AM34
Horizontal Sidewall Nozzle, approved according
to the latest VdS accommodation test protocol
intended to help control Class A fires. In addition
to the AquaMist ULF AM34 Sidewall Nozzle,
Johnson Controls also received VdS approval on
the AquaMist ULF AM28 Pendent Nozzle. The AM28
and AM34 can be used to protect accommodation
spaces like hotels, hospitals, care homes and
residential areas.
The ULF
AM28 Nozzle is
also approved
according to the
latest VdS o‹ ice
spaces test protocol. It is designed to help control
Class A fires in public buildings such as o‹ ices,
banks, schools, churches and restaurants.
For Class A fire control in spaces with false floors
and ceilings, the AquaMist ULF AM30 Nozzle o‹ ers
the ideal solution. The AM30 is VdS-approved for
these applications when paired with an AquaMist
system.
These closed (automatic) nozzles are intended
for use with engineered water mist systems. Unlike
high-pressure nozzles, the low-pressure nozzles use
a single fluid jet impinging on a di‹ user to produce
a fine mist with a range of water droplet sizes.
