Gerda Security Products proudly stands as the originator of the Premises Information Box (PIB)®, the original SIB (Secure Information Box), since 2005. This initiative was developed in collaboration with the Fire & Rescue Service nationwide.
With over 15 years of specialization in Emergency Access Systems, we prioritize safe design principles that cater to the operational needs of both the fire and rescue service and the building owner/manager. Our robust design features a proven registered key system recognized by Fire & Rescue Services across the country.
Designed by firefighters for firefighters, the A3 size of the PIB accommodates the handling of keys and laminated plans while wearing firefighting gloves. The ergonomic design, featuring bevelled corners, is a critical safety measure to prevent potential injuries to individuals near a SIB mounted on the wall. This thoughtful design significantly reduces the risk of accidents in public areas.
Gerda Security Products emphasizes safe design principles in all our product designs. Our PIBs have successfully passed the STS205 BR2 (level II) test, are Secured by Design approved, and comply with the Fire Industry Association (FIA) and National Fire Chiefs Council (NFCC) Code of Practice. They also adhere to the requirements outlined in Approved Document B June 2022 amendments and the Fire Safety (England) 2022 Regulation 4, following the recommendations of the Grenfell Inquiry.
With Fire & Rescue Services nationwide utilizing the GSP One Key System, Gerda Security Products leads the market in providing PIBs, premises plans, and information in the operational format required for firefighter use.
Gerda Security Products is at the forefront of fire safety, leading the way into the future.
