Advanced Panels Gain EPD as Sustainability Pressure Reaches Fire Detection
Advanced has secured an Environmental Product Declaration for its MxPro 5 4-loop fire panels, giving customers independently verified lifecycle data as sustainability becomes a bigger factor in building specification and procurement.
Advanced has announced that its MxPro 5 4-loop fire panels have achieved an Environmental Product Declaration, or EPD, marking a new sustainability milestone for the fire detection manufacturer. The certification provides independently verified data on the products’ carbon footprint and wider environmental impact across each stage of their lifecycle.
According to the company, the EPD covers multiple variants in the MxPro 5 4-loop range, including the MX-5401, MX-5402, MX-5403, MX-5404 and their deep enclosure versions. Advanced said the move supports its broader focus on transparency, responsible product design and reducing environmental impact across its portfolio.
An EPD is a standardized document based on life cycle assessment and prepared in line with international standards such as EN 15804 and ISO 14025. It is designed to show a product’s environmental performance in a consistent and comparable format, covering areas such as raw material extraction, manufacturing, transport, use-phase energy consumption, lifespan and end-of-life treatment.
Advanced said the declaration is intended to help specifiers, designers and building owners better understand how fire system products contribute to the environmental profile of a building or infrastructure project. The company also noted that EPDs are becoming increasingly relevant in construction and building services as sustainability criteria play a larger role in design, procurement and whole-building assessment schemes.
The company added that the MxPro 5 range has been designed with longevity, flexibility and upgradeability in mind, with the aim of extending product life and reducing waste. By adding EPD-backed environmental data to the range, Advanced is positioning its fire panels more strongly for projects where both safety performance and sustainability credentials are under closer scrutiny.
