Kiwa is expanding its fire safety and security services! In Zaltbommel (the Netherlands) the construction of a brand-new test hall is in development, specifically for testing and certifying sprinklers according to EN 12259-1. With this expansion, we will soon be able to test sprinklers so that they can be provided with a CE-marking.
The EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (EU-CBAM) is a key instrument of the European Union aimed at preventing carbon leakage and ensuring fair competition between EU manufacturers and importers from third countries.
