The MxPro 5 4-loop fire alarm control panels from Advanced have achieved an industry milestone by obtaining an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD).
This declaration, independently verified by BRE Global, offers detailed insights into the environmental impact of these products over their full lifecycle. Compliant with EN 15804:2012+A2:2019 and ISO 14044/14025, this EPD provides standardized environmental performance data crucial for sustainability-focused building evaluations.
Comprehensive Lifecycle Assessment
Environmental Product Declarations play a growing role in the construction and building services sectors by providing verified and comparable environmental impact data for products.
The EPD for the MxPro 5 panels, based on a comprehensive life cycle assessment (LCA), addresses every stage of the product's life, from raw material extraction and manufacturing to transport, usage, and end-of-life disposal. This cradle-to-grave analysis enables consultants, designers, and building owners to understand the contribution of fire safety systems to a project's overall environmental footprint.
Supporting Diverse Configurations
The EPD guides ongoing product development by pinpointing environmental impact zones
The EPD encompasses the full range of MxPro 5 4-loop panel configurations, covering standard and deep enclosure formats, cross-listed variants, and Axis EN software versions.
This ensures that consistent environmental data is available, regardless of specific configuration or compliance needs. Beyond aiding external specification, the EPD guides ongoing product development by pinpointing environmental impact zones throughout the product lifecycle, informing decisions on material selection, manufacturing, and operational energy use.
Sustainability in Fire Safety Systems
Designed with an emphasis on longevity, flexibility, and upgradability, the MxPro 5 range aims to extend system life and minimize waste. The inclusion of an independently verified EPD for these panels provides specifiers and users with the necessary data for integrating fire detection and alarm systems into broader sustainable building strategies. Valid for five years until March 2031 under the BRE Global verification scheme, the EPD aligns with Advanced's continuous improvement and sustainable design goals.
Advanced, part of the FTSE 100-listed Halma PLC, is recognized for its innovative fire systems specified worldwide, from single-panel setups to extensive multi-site networks. Its portfolio includes comprehensive fire detection solutions, multiprotocol panels, and systems for extinguishing control and false alarm management, supporting a sustainable and safe building environment.
In an industry first, MxPro 5 4‑loop fire alarm control panels from Advanced now hold an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), providing independently verified data on the products’ environmental impact across their full lifecycle.
Issued in accordance with EN 15804:2012+A2:2019 and ISO 14044/14025, and verified by BRE Global, the EPD delivers transparent, standardized environmental performance data to support sustainability‑focused specification and whole‑building assessment.
Raw material extraction
Environmental Product Declarations are increasingly used across the construction and building services sectors to provide comparable, verified data on a product’s environmental impact. Developed using a life cycle assessment (LCA), an EPD quantifies impacts across each stage of a product’s life, from raw material extraction and manufacturing through to transport, use, and end‑of‑life treatment.
For the MxPro 5 4‑loop panels, the EPD presents cradle‑to‑grave environmental data, including carbon footprint and other impact indicators, allowing consultants, designers and building owners to better understand how fire safety systems contribute to the overall environmental performance of a building or infrastructure project.
Supporting external specification
The declaration applies across the full range of MxPro 5 4‑loop panel configurations, including standard and deep enclosure formats, cross‑listed variants, and Axis EN software variants, ensuring consistent environmental data is available regardless of configuration or compliance requirements.
Beyond supporting external specification, the EPD is also valuable in supporting Advanced’s drive for continuous improvement and responsible product design. By identifying where environmental impacts occur across the product lifecycle, the assessment provides insight informing ongoing product development, material selection, manufacturing efficiency and energy use during operation.
Sustainable building strategy
The MxPro 5 range has been developed with longevity, flexibility and upgradeability in mind, helping to extend system life and reduce waste over time. The addition of an independently verified EPD for the 4‑loop panels gives specifiers and end users the data they need to consider fire detection and alarm systems as part of a wider, more sustainable building strategy.
The EPD is valid for 5 years and will remain in force until March 2031, subject to the terms of the BRE Global verification scheme. As a world leader in the development and manufacture of intelligent fire systems, Advanced products are specified in locations around the world, from single-panel installations to large, multi-site networks. The Advanced portfolio includes complete fire detection systems, multiprotocol fire panels, extinguishing control, and false alarm management and reduction systems.
Advanced is owned by FTSE 100 company Halma PLC – a global group of life-saving technology companies with a clear purpose to grow a safer, cleaner, healthier future for everyone, every day.
