Frequently Asked Questions
Is a DBI test report the same as DBI certification?
No. A report records a test. Certification or approval requires a separate document that states the products and applications covered.
Why does the installer matter on a DBI project?
Danish schemes can require approved companies or certified persons to design, install, service or maintain particular fire-protection systems.
Does DBI Certification / Approval apply to every product made by a certified brand?
No. It normally applies only to the models, variants, uses and conditions named in the current certificate or listing.
What should I include in a purchase order?
State the exact model, required certification and standard, destination market, documents to be supplied and any system compatibility or witnessing requirements.
