Advanced’s MxPro 5 4-loop Panels Achieve Environmental Product Declaration (EPD)

In an industry first, MxPro 5 4‑loop fire alarm control panels from Advanced now hold an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), providing independently verified data on the products’ environmental impact across their full lifecycle.

Issued in accordance with EN 15804:2012+A2:2019 and ISO 14044/14025, and verified by BRE Global, the EPD delivers transparent, standardised environmental performance data to support sustainability‑focused specification and whole‑building assessment.

Environmental Product Declarations are increasingly used across the construction and building services sectors to provide comparable, verified data on a product’s environmental impact. Developed using a life cycle assessment (LCA), an EPD quantifies impacts across each stage of a product’s life, from raw material extraction and manufacturing through to transport, use, and end‑of‑life treatment.

For the MxPro 5 4‑loop panels, the EPD presents cradle‑to‑grave environmental data, including carbon footprint and other impact indicators, allowing consultants, designers and building owners to better understand how fire safety systems contribute to the overall environmental performance of a building or infrastructure project.

The declaration applies across the full range of MxPro 5 4‑loop panel configurations, including standard and deep enclosure formats, cross‑listed variants, and Axis EN software variants, ensuring consistent environmental data is available regardless of configuration or compliance requirements.

Beyond supporting external specification, the EPD is also valuable in supporting Advanced’s drive for continuous improvement and responsible product design. By identifying where environmental impacts occur across the product lifecycle, the assessment provides insight informing ongoing product development, material selection, manufacturing efficiency and energy use during operation.

The MxPro 5 range has been developed with longevity, flexibility and upgradeability in mind, helping to extend system life and reduce waste over time. The addition of an independently verified EPD for the 4‑loop panels gives specifiers and end users the data they need to consider fire detection and alarm systems as part of a wider, more sustainable building strategy.

The EPD is valid for 5 years and will remain in force until March 2031, subject to the terms of the BRE Global verification scheme.

As a world leader in the development and manufacture of intelligent fire systems, Advanced products are specified in locations around the world, from single-panel installations to large, multi-site networks. The Advanced portfolio includes complete fire detection systems, multiprotocol fire panels, extinguishing control, and false alarm management and reduction systems.

Advanced is owned by FTSE 100 company Halma PLC – a global group of life-saving technology companies with a clear purpose to grow a safer, cleaner, healthier future for everyone, every day.
