Standards & Approvals

Water mist is a performance-based technology — a system is judged by full-scale fire testing against the specific risk it protects, not by a single blanket certificate. We publish exactly where Mistelix stands against every standard relevant to our applications, including what is still in progress.

“Conformant by design” means our engineering follows the standard’s requirements in full — pressure, droplet size, zoning, activation logic and materials — but the system has not yet completed the standard’s independent third-party test protocol. “Certified” or “approved” means an accredited body has witnessed and passed that test. We state which is which for every standard above, and will update this page the moment a status changes.

EN 14972 defines application-specific full-scale fire test procedures for water mist systems across risk categories including machinery spaces, warehouses and other occupancies. Passing the relevant test category is the strongest form of evidence a water mist manufacturer can offer.

FM 5560 is FM Approvals’ standard for water mist systems, widely recognised by insurers and international project reviewers as evidence of tested performance.
