DEF
DEF Solutions and services for fire safety systems.DEF competences
• Research & development and manufacturing
Design: A young, creative team, technology driven, constantly striving for innovations and the improvement of our performance.
Production: 3 production sites in Pithiviers, 80 km south of Paris
- Production of detectors complying with EN 54 standards
- Production of panels and accessories
- Detectors refurbishing factory
• Engineering and consulting departments
Customised design which takes into account the specific site constraints: their engineers realize installation design taking into account all the requirements of the building structure and applicable regulations.
• Installation and maintenance: 18 branches in France, 6 export subsidiaries: DEF Algeria in Algiers • DEF Belgium in Brussels • DEF China in Shanghai • DEF Italia in Milano • DEF Morocco in Casablanca • DEF Tunisia in Tunis
Realized either by their teams or by an installer, their installations are subject to rigorous inspections. Moreover, they offer to their installers integrated solutions that facilitate the implementation.
- Related activities: DEF has 1 subsidiary specialized in complementary activities: ALLIGATOR for voice alarm systems, emergency door control and access control.
Certificates
• All DEF activities are ISO 9001/2000 certified for design, R & D and production.
• All DEF products are NF approved both for European standards and French standards.
• DEF is qualified AP-MIS (insurance organisation) for installation and maintenance of fire alarm systems in France.
DEF know-how in the airport field
Being in the fire detection field since a long time, DEF equips airports all over the world: Paris CDG, Marseille, Lyon, Cairo, Jakarta, Dakar, Casablanca, Abidjan, Phnom Penh...
In their approach of these sites, we initially assess the overall functional requirements:
- taking into account the varied exogenic risks,
- the reliability of the system,
- the guarantee of free operation,
- the limitations of restraints in public zones,
- the obligation of an optimal maintainability.
Then, they carry out a detailed risk analysis taking into account the particular characteristics of the site:
- its structures: volumes of great height (halls of terminals, technical zones),
- the specificity of public zones: variable calorific value, with significant factor of propagation,
- sensitive zones: the risks are mixed, the zones to be protected being multiple (commercial zones compartmentalised and on variable surface, zones of intensive crowd passage).
DEF full product range has been approved for airport applications:
- their new compact linear smoke detector Solarion
- their new detectors' range Orion
- their Vega detectors' range
- the Nova and Nova Vega fire detection panels
- Altaïr fire detection panel
- operated safety devices
- Antares safety processing panel
These products ensure a 100% addressing of the security system and a supervision of the whole installation. They also allow a protection by partitioning groups of buildings, via advanced stations. Thus, in the event of failure of a central processing unit or a connection between systems, the unit remains operational. Their wide range of products enables all needs to be met, whether for the services sector (offices, airports, hospitals, school buildings, hotels), or the industrial sector (nuclear power stations, food- processing sites, computer rooms, waste storage facilities, etc...).
