In the fire protection sector, trust in equipment performance is not optional; it is an absolute necessity. FM Approved (Factory Mutual) and UL Listed (Underwriters Laboratories) certifications are two of the most prestigious seals worldwide, ensuring reliability.
At SVE Corp, we are proud to announce that we have obtained FM certification for our fire pump controllers. In addition, we are in the advanced stages of obtaining UL Listed certification, further consolidating our commitment to excellence, safety and reliability.
What is FM Approved certification?
FM Approved certification is granted by FM Approvals, a division of FM Global, a leading international company in risk consultancy and loss prevention for industrial and commercial properties.
The main focus of this certification is to ensure that products not only meet quality standards but also provide superior protection against risks such as fire.
This certification guarantees that products meet quality benchmarks while offering outstanding fire risk protection, having successfully passed rigorous testing under extreme conditions.
The “FM Approved” mark means that a product has undergone:
- Rigorous fire-resistance and adverse-condition testing
- Initial and annual manufacturing audits
- Performance assessments under international standards
This certification provides peace of mind for builders, architects, property owners and insurers who need to ensure structural integrity and reduce risks in their facilities.

- Superior performance guarantee: Our fire pump controllers withstand the harshest conditions and operate reliably when needed most.
- Reduced risks and losses: We minimise the likelihood of failures, protecting lives, properties, and reducing financial losses from incidents.
- Assurance for insurers: Using FM Approved components can positively influence insurance premiums, as they represent a lower risk.

Our first FM-certified prodcut: SCF C900-D-NF
This certification is not just a stamp on our website, it is a reality that we can now share with our clientes. The FM certification on our SCF C900-D-NF fire pump controller guarantees that the product meets the highest international standards for fire protection system, not just in its design but also in its real world performance.
The “FM Approved” seal confirms the product has undergone strict and rigorous testing, evaluating its reliability and durability, performance in high-risk conditions, and compliance with fire safety regulations.
The SCF C900-D-NF fully meets NFPA 20, the key international standard for the installation of stationary fire pumps, ensuring it can be integrated into compliant fire protection systems worldwide.
UL Listed certification: our next milestone
At SVE Corp, we are never complacent. We are currently in the process of obtaining UL (Underwriters Laboratories) certification, the most recognised standard in North America.
The UL Listed mark certifies that a product complies with the safety requirements of the United States and Canada, focusing on fire risks, electric shock and mechanical hazards.
Why is UL certification important?
Achieving UL Listed certification means for SVE Corp:
- Access to the North American market: It is an essential requirement under the National Electrical Code (NEC) and local regulations.
- Global recognition: The UL mark is one of the most trusted safety symbols for consumers and authorities worldwide.
- Competitive differentiation: It demonstrates our commitment to the highest safety standards, positioning us as an elite manufacturer in the sector.
- Compliance with NFPA 20: Our products will comply with the standard for the installation of stationary fire protection pumps.
