Re-thinking emergency lighting
P4, reportedly the UK’s largest independent self-testing emergency lighting specialist, says it has again been ‘breaking new ground’ by
becoming the UK’s first to achieve the Kitemark for IoT (Internet of Things) devices. The company said: “The Kitemark for IoT (Internet of Things) devices is designed
to address the potential for cyber threats to all Internet-enabled products. Any connected device has the potential to be exploited by hackers as a way to access personal data, and to disrupt or divert services. This includes your emergency lighting system.”
Certification to the BSI Mark of Trust Kitemark for IoT Devices has been achieved by P4 for its Fastel systems M-Web Controller. “This demonstrates that it is secure, minimising vulnerability to attack, and protecting users’ data and privacy, as well as any interconnected proprietary systems and information,” P4 explained. It added: “With a second Kitemark for automatic self-testing of emergency lighting already awarded to the M-Web system, it is a clear choice for improving security, as well as being absolutely reliable when it comes to guiding people to safety in an emergency.”
