P4’S EMERGENCY LIGHTING SYSTEM ACHIEVES
IOT ENHANCED LEVEL BSI KITEMARK
P4, the UK’s largest independent
self-testing emergency lighting
specialist, has again been breaking
new ground by becoming the first
to be awarded an enhanced level
BSI kitemark for lighting.
Certification to the BSI Mark of Trust
Kitemark for IoT Devices was achieved
in March this year for their Fastel
systems M-Web Controller Ecosystem
following rigorous testing by BSI’s
highly skilled team at its state-of-theart

PURELL: PROVEN EFFICACY AGAINST
CORONAVIRUS
Skin health and surface
hygiene expert, GOJO
Industries-Europe, is
proud that the PURELL
Advanced Hand Sanitising
Gel and PURELL Surface
Sanitising Spray and
Wipes have been tested
and proven to be e ective
against Coronavirus. In June 2020, all three products were tested against
Coronavirus BcoV (bovine coronavirus, a substitute for human coronavirus) and
passed European Norm EN 14476+ A2 in a contact time of 30 seconds.
PURELL Surface Sanitising Spray and Wipes are no-rinse products that are
fast acting, highly e ective and specifically designed to meet surface sanitising
needs, whilst PURELL Hygienic Hand Rub is an e ective hand sanitiser, clinically
proven to maintain skin health.
Even though PURELL products had already passed the EN norm for enveloped
viruses (which assumes e icacy), GOJO decided to test it against Coronavirus
specifically. This is just one way that GOJO goes above and beyond to support its
customers, making sure products are safe, e ective, and pleasant to use.
GOJO has developed a range of tools to help businesses understand what
products they need and where they should be positioned, including posters,
product placement guides, and what to look for in a hand sanitiser. Assets are
available for food-based industries, education, manufacturing/warehouses,
and o ices and can be downloaded for free from http://ww2.gojo.com/

IoT laboratory.
The kitemark for IoT (Internet of
Things) devices is designed to address the potential
for cyber threats to all internet-enabled products.
In the modern world, any connected device has
the potential to be exploited by hackers as a way to
access personal data and to disrupt or divert services.
Reducing this operational risk is a key concern for any
business, but particularly public sector bodies such as
NHS hospital trusts and universities.
Alan Daniels, Technical Director at P4 explains why
this certification is so significant for their customers:
“We work with many institutions responsible
for large amounts of personal data and critical
services. By choosing our emergency lighting system,
customers can be sure that they’re getting a system
which is not only reliable in terms of guiding people to
safety in an emergency, but is also secure in terms of
reducing their vulnerability to attack and keeping their
data safe.”
P4 has made a commitment to
ensure their systems provide the
most secure emergency lighting on
the market. Kitemark certification
involves ongoing regular testing of
the systems to ensure they continue
to meet the requirements. Alan
continues: “For us, the kitemark is
really important because it o ers
certainty to customers from a
respected third party that our system
is secure and their data will be safe
– they don’t just have to take our
word for it!”
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the team at P4 has
been unable to receive their award in person. Instead,
an online presentation took place on Thursday 23rd
July as the team from BSI o icially awarded the
certification.
This is the second kitemark that P4 have been
awarded, a er achieving their first kitemark in
November 2019 for self-testing emergency lighting
systems.

IT’S ALL UNDER CONTROL THANKS TO FORBO
The newly created “Under Control”
collection from Forbo Flooring
Systems provides specifiers with a
diverse array of flooring products
to help control static discharge in
sensitive areas of a building. The
collection features its popular Colorex
tile range, refreshed to include two
new products, and Sphera SD/EC, a
technically advanced homogeneous
conductive sheet vinyl range.
Completely new to the market,
Sphera SD/EC has been designed
to ease installation in critical areas
thanks to the special conductive
backing, which is applied directly
to the sheet material, allowing the
charges to flow away horizontally
within the flooring. As a result, only
the copper earthing strip needs to be adhered with a conductive adhesive, while
the rest of the Sphera material can be applied with a regular adhesive, reducing
the risk of adhesion failure and saving up to one third on adhesive costs.
Also sitting in the newly formed Under Control collection is the existing
Colorex Tile range featuring new options. Alongside newly refreshed colour
palettes for the Colorex SD and EC ranges, the new Colorex Glow is a
permanently conductive solution that provides a phosphorescent glow for up to
four hours a er exposure to a light source. This means it is an ideal solution for
floor safety signage, and to guide occupiers to exits, in case of a power cut.
