China Fire Awarded UL Certifications for Its Line Heat Detectors

Look up the PowerRating of CFSG and see how it has performed over the past week as well as the current proprietary PowerRating.

BEIJING, July 13, 2009 /PRNewswire-Asia via COMTEX/ -- CFSG | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- China Fire & Security Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: CFSG | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating) ("China Fire" or "the Company"), a leading total solution provider of industrial fire protection systems in China, today announced that three of its linear heat detectors ("LHD") have passed the Underwriters Laboratories ("UL") laboratory test and were awarded UL Certifications.

China Fire's three products that were tested and certified by UL were its: Nonrestorable Fixed-Temperature Line-Type Heat Detector, Restorable Fixed-Temperature Line-Type Heat Detector and Restorable Rate of Rise & Fixed-Temperature Line-Type Heat Detector. These products have many competitive advantages over peer products, including China Fire's proprietary "Rate of Rise in Temperature" technology that differentiates temperature rises caused by fire hazards from rises caused by environmental or non-dangerous sources, their superior operating distance and their automatic notifications sent to the monitoring system when maintenance and repairs are needed. China Fire's proprietary "Fixed-Temperature" technology also enables its LHDs to veritably "fix" their alarm temperature, so that it is not affected by heated cable length and ambient temperature as in competing products.

China Fire's LHDs have already won dozens of patents worldwide and enabled the Company to become one of China's leaders for national fire protection products. Domestically, China Fire's LHD products have influenced the industry standards and its proprietary LHDs have come to be considered irreplaceable in fire solution systems for the iron and steel industry.

"Achieving certification by Underwriters Laboratories, a world leader in product safety testing, is an important milestone in our company vision of persistent technology innovation and greater market positioning," commented Mr. Brian Lin, Chief Executive Officer of China Fire. "As we mentioned during our previous earnings call, China Fire is actively pursuing fire protection projects and product sales in international markets, as well as diversifying the revenue stream and customer base by expanding into other verticals. UL certification will give China Fire a competitive advantage that enables us to gain more market share and better pricing in international markets and effectively help the Company expand into more industrial verticals and more complex environments. Moreover, UL Certification also serves as a criterion for the Company to be recognized by the government with a National Hi-Tech Company award, which would enable the Company to benefit from numerous favorable governmental policies. We believe that our cutting-edge technology, proprietary patent protection and our leadership in influencing national fire safety standards will continuously bring strong market position and lasting advantages that allow China Fire to deliver strong, sustainable, long-term financial performance, and ultimately to reward our investors with shareholder value."
