Following a decision of its Board, Euralarm has welcomed its newest member Viking, a dependable partner in fire protection with almost 100 years of experience. The company will join the Extinguishing Section of Euralarm.

The Extinguishing Section represents the active fire extinguishing sector and covers existing, new and emerging technologies, covering automatic extinguishing systems using gas, water, foam, powder and aerosols, oxygen reduction systems, portable equipment and other manual means of fire-fighting as well as fire-fighting agents used in either fixed automatic systems or in portable equipment.

Membership benefits

Viking will now benefit from Euralarm’s services in terms of representation towards European institutions and standardisation organisations. This includes the monitoring of legislative and standardisation issues relevant to the industry. The company will have access to the extended network of national associations and major companies in the electronic fire safety and security sectors, which form Euralarm’s members. The new membership will create opportunities for both sides, as it also strengthens the association.

By its membership of Euralarm, the company taps into the association’s political expertise and understanding of how EU policy is impacting the industry and its markets. It also enables Viking to make personal connections with technical and political experts and gain expertise on standardisation. Members like Viking have their voice heard in Brussels and can support and direct standardisation and legislative processes.
