Metro station in South Korea

In 2003 and 2004 the Korean Ministry for Construction and Transportation jointly carried out fire tests with the Korean Railway Research Institute. The objective of the test in the "University" metro station in Seoul was to determine the best possible fire protection solution. Securiton’s partner in South Korea – RITCO (Royal Information Technology Corporation) – took part in the fire tests along with two well-known competitors.

The following Securiton products were put to the test: the SecuriPro fire detection system with the SecuriStar SSD531 optical smoke detector and SecuriStar UTD 531 universal temperature detector, the SecuriRAS ASD 515 smoke extraction system, and the SecuriSens ADW 511 linear heat detector. RITCO not only achieved excellent test results, but was also the only company to meet the strenuous detection behaviour requirements. All Securiton systems triggered their alarms very fast and precisely. The Korean Ministry for Construction and Transportation and the Korean Railway Research Institute were both extremely satisfied with the results of the Securiton products. The project is currently still being processed.
