FM Approvals offers certification services to manufacturers of fire protection equipment, electrical equipment, and building materials.

Products that earn approval are listed in the Approval Guide or RoofNav.

Cleanroom Materials
FM Approvals certifies cleanroom materials that undergo rigorous testing for flammability and smoke generation.

Coatings and Firestopping
All FM Approved firestopping assemblies have been fire tested to verify, when properly installed, that they will function successfully in the event of a fire.

  • Products types: Coatings; Firestopping

Combustion Control Equipment
FM Approved combustion safeguards are intended to mitigate potential failures including ignition, liquid levels falling below the minimum, and excess temperatures.

  • Product Types: Combustion Safeguards and Flame Sensing Systems; Emergency Automatic Shutoff Valves; Firesafe Valves; Flow and Pressure Safety Switches; Fuel Gas Cocks Electric Interlocking; Gas Safety Control Cocks; Low Water Level Limit Controls for Boilers; LP Gas Vaporizers Mixers; Other Combustion Control Equipment; Programmable Logic Control PLC Based Burner Management Systems; Temperature Limit and Supervisory Switches.

Cooling Towers
Cooling towers certified by FM Approvals have been rigorously evaluated and found to be a low fire hazard.

Cybersecurity of Connected Equipment
Cybersecurity certification programs for Industrial Control Systems (ICS), physical devices with cloud-based processes (IoT), and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)

Detection, Fire Alarm and Signaling Equipment
FM Approved signaling equipment will let the end user know when something is going awry. The categories are commonly designated as:

  • Central station
  • Emergency communication
  • Emergency voice/alarm communication
  • Local
  • Municipal
  • Proprietary
  • Remote station

Ducts, Pipe and Duct Insulation
FM Approved ducts and pipe and duct insulation provide the end user with the confidence that the fire will not significantly propagate.

Electrical Equipment – General Industrial
FM Approvals is a world leader in the testing and certification of electrical equipment for use in explosive atmospheres and can help manufacturers seeking global certification develop comprehensive testing and certification programs.

Equipment for Explosive Atmospheres
There are a number of protection methods available to equipment manufacturers in order to obtain certification of their products for use in an explosive atmosphere.

Explosion Suppression Systems
FM Approved explosion suppression systems are prepared at all times to function as expected in a matter of milliseconds.

Extinguishing Systems
FM Approved extinguishing systems have been evaluated to verify that they will function as intended when called upon to do so, giving the end user the confidence that the hazard is protected.

Fire Pump Components
FM Approved fire pump packages are tested to a demanding set of criteria to verify when the need for water occurs, the fire pump set delivers the required water for the duration of the event.

Flammable (Ignitable) Liquids Equipment
Use of FM Approved fluids and FM Approved ignitable liquids equipment can reduce the fire size and growth rate.

Flood Mitigation Products
FM Approved flood mitigation barriers have been evaluated for their ability to control riverine or rainfall related flood conditions.
