C-TEC constantly updates its manufacturing techniques to ensure it keeps up with or exceeds industry standards. Many of its products are third-party certificated by internationally recognized test and approval bodies such as the Loss Prevention Certification Board (LPCB) and the British Standards Institute (BSI), confirming to its customers that they meet the design, performance and quality requirements of key British, European and international standards.  

My reason for singling out the company’s Hush Button fire alarm solution for the Made by Britain map is that it is beginning to reduce the problem of false alarms in flats, apartments and other houses of multiple occupation. A common incident such as a resident burning a piece of toast in such buildings can often lead to unnecessary building evacuations, expensive fire service call outs (when the emergency services could be required elsewhere) or, in extreme cases, true alarm signals being ignored, the consequences of which could be fatal. C-TEC’s Hush Button solution combats this by giving residents complete control over their fire alarm systems by providing reliable, fully monitored fire detection, alarm and silencing facilities inside each individual flat or apartment.
