Periodically, Fireye receives inquiries from the field concerning the use of rebuilt
controls. In years past, Fireye and other manufacturers of flame safety devices did rebuild
controls.
These rebuilt controls were certified by a “nationally recognized testing agency” (UL)
and subject to different standards than new equipment. Essentially, all
components were
replaced with the exact components that were used in a new control. Only the housings
and lenses (if applicable) were reused. Fireye no longer rebuilds controls (as of 1989), nor
have we authorized any other company to rebuild for us.
Currently, there are several other companies selling “rebuilt” or “reconditioned con-
trols. None
of these companies has an approval from any nationally recognized testing
agency. What this means is the following.
1. Fireye assumes no liability for any incident resulting from the use of a rebuilt
control.
2. Your insurance coverage should be reviewed if you use rebuilt controls.
3. The use of safety controls rebuilt by any party other than the original
manufacturer is in violation of ASME, CSD-1 standard.
4. Use of rebuilt controls is in violation of National Fire Protection Agency
Association.
For over seventy years, Fireye has been a leader in promoting flame safety. We are
very committed to adhering to standards established by testing agencies, fire codes and
insurance requirements as well as developing new scanner technology.
