Within the summer months of 2010 in total 8 controls were performed and deficiencies were detected in 4 of the cases (50%).

The object to controls were fire detection products, especially products such as fire detectors, flame detectors, button detectors, air sampling detector systems and autonomous smoke detectors.

During the first phase, investigations were performed at 5 distributors and 3 importers. In total 12 types of fire detectors were checked and deficiencies were detected in 7 types of detectors.

Among the most frequent deficiencies were not providing information on sold products’ characteristics, way of use and danger resulting from incorrect use; furthermore, not providing this information in the Czech language and distribution of the particular products – fire detectors marked with the CE mark in contradiction with law.
