Johnson Controls, Inc.

Johnson Controls, the pioneer for smart, healthy, and sustainable buildings, offers an alternative approach to fire detection through its FireClass range, a class of open-protocol fire detection products, and is seen as a step away from its previously perceived perception in the market of only offering managed or closed-protocol systems.

FireClass consists of a comprehensive range of industry-approved products for use in commercial, residential, corporate, retail, leisure, care home, manufacturing, and warehouse environments, to make spaces safer and more secure in the event of a fire.   

Digital fire detection technology

Johnson Controls FireClass is the culmination of digital fire detection technology built on over 50 years of dedication and performance.

It uses the latest fire detection technology and is packaged in an easy-to-install, out-of-the-box, and digitally open-protocol solution with ISO 9001-2000 quality registrations and major international performance standards and approvals.
