| In
co-operation with TUV (Produkt und Umwelt) in Cologne, Germany, we have
successfully
achieved certification for the WGK (Wassergefahrdungsklasse)
classification
of chemical effects on the environment. FireAde 2000
has obtained
WGK 1 classification, which is the best result possible for a
test of this type.
These rigorous tests are based on the international OECD
guidelines for chemical
testing and are as follows:
OECD 203 "fish
test"
OECD 202 part one (48h) "water flea test"
OECD 423
"toxicity test" Test are carried out on 100% concentrate of FireAde
2000 but, as FireAde 2000 is
regularly used in dilutions of less than 6%, there is no doubt that it is
environmentally friendly and, unlike many conventional fire fighting mediums
such as AFFF foams, has little or no impact. | |
