MTIC INTERCERT Srl is authorized by the Ministry to carry out tests on fire extinguishers as required by UNI 9492/CNVVF/CPAI and UNI EN3/7:2004.

"Approval is defined as the final step certifying the successful completion of the technical-administrative procedure aimed at recognising the requirements of the sector's provisions. With this recognition it is possible to reproduce the approved prototype and market it on the national territory according to the procedures regulated by the competent authority".

"The approval is valid for five years and can be renewed at the request of the manufacturer, at any time, for a further period of five years. This renewal shall not entail a repetition of the technical tests provided for in the technical standard if the manufacturer declares that the portable fire extinguisher has not been modified.”

(Ministerial Decree 7/01/2005 and Ministerial Decree 06/03/1992)

The evaluation of the characteristics and performances, as well as the classification of wheeled or portable fire extinguishers are carried out according to what specified in the UNI 9492/CNVVF/CPAI standards for the former and UNI EN3/7:2004, or other equivalent technical standard adopted by a National Standards Body of a European Union country or contracting the EEA Agreement, for the latter.

Furthermore, MTIC INTERCERT Srl carries out tests according to the current standards EN 1866-1:2008 and EN 3-7: 2008.
