Ciqurix Ltd has become the first company in the world to achieve certification to LPCB’s new LPS 1976 Video Flame Detection Standard, with its FC-XFP detectors (part of the Ciqurix CORE System) now approved under Certificate No. 1852a and listed on RedBook Live. LPS 1976 is the first research-based benchmark for intelligent video flame detection, confirming the CORE System’s independently verified performance, reliability and false-alarm resilience. The certificate was formally presented to Ciqurix at London Build Expo at 11:00 on Wednesday 19 November, with photography available in the press pack here.
PRESS RELEASE: CIQURIX BECOMES WORLD’S FIRST COMPANY TO ACHIEVE PRODUCT CERTIFICATION TO NEW LPS 1976 VIDEO FLAME DETECTION STANDARD
London, UK – 19 November 2025 – FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Ciqurix Ltd has become the first manufacturer in the world to achieve certification under the new LPS 1976 Video Flame Detection Standard, with its FC-XFP detectors (part of the Ciqurix CORE Video Flame Detection System) receiving approval (Certificate No. 1852a) from the Loss Prevention Certification Board (LPCB), part of BRE Global.
The certification marks a major milestone in the evolution of fire detection, providing the first research-based international benchmark for intelligent Video Flame Detection (VFD) systems. It also confirms the CORE System as the first VFD technology to meet this new level of independently verified performance, reliability and false-alarm resilience.
LPS 1976 is the result of several years of rigorous experimental testing, drawing on contributions from LPCB, industry experts, the Fire Industry Association (FIA) and leading manufacturers. Until now, specifiers and regulators had no dedicated standard against which to validate video flame detection technology.
A major step forward for fire safety
Video flame detection is increasingly used in large, complex, or high-airflow environments where traditional heat or smoke detectors can struggle. Use cases include waste processing sites, manufacturing plants, warehouses, tunnels and transportation hubs.
The Ciqurix CORE System uses a combination of advanced infrared video analytics and visual imaging to identify flames within seconds and trigger the fire detection system. It can also provide operators and first responders with live video verification and early situational awareness.
Ciqurix’s CORE System is now deployed across nearly 150 sites in 16 countries, with the new certification expected to accelerate adoption in the UK and internationally.
Industry-first handover at London Build Expo
The certificate was formally presented to Ciqurix by senior BRE representatives during a ceremony at the London Build Expo at 11:00 on Wednesday 19 November.

Statements
Paul Seligman, Chief Executive Officer, Ciqurix, said:
“When we first set out to create a video flame detection system, we were told it couldn’t be done, especially not by a small company with no existing market and a product we had to invent from scratch. I’m immensely proud to see that same innovation becoming the world’s first system accredited under LPS 1976.
“Independent certification provides the confidence that customers and regulators need. This is a major step forward for fire safety innovation and for the industries that depend on early, reliable flame detection in the most challenging environments.”
Jane Fields, Managing Director, BRE Assurance, said:
“Many standards are written around a table. What makes this one different is that it was built through actual experimental testing, collaboration with industry experts and real experience of how these technologies behave in the service environment. By grounding the standard in research, we’ve given the industry a credible, globally applicable framework that both supports manufacturers and enhances safety”
