C-TEC announces Continuing Professional Development-certified Open Days
15 August 2025
LIFE SAFETY systems manufacturer C-TEC is hosting three Continuing Professional Development (CPD)-certified Open Days (on 16, 17 and 18 September) at its manufacturing facility in Wigan.

Featuring a presentation on the real-world implications of the updated British Standard BS 5839-1 2025 as well as product demonstrations, Open Day attendees will gain CPD points, learn about the industry’s latest trends and witness the manufacturing process for the company’s life safety systems including CAST-PRO, C-TEC’s new combined fire detection and alarm device that recently won the Fire Innovation of the Year category at the 2025 Fire and Security Matters Awards.
Part of the day will be devoted to a tour of the multiple third party process approved manufacturing facility. C-TEC is committed to continually investing in cutting-edge technology to enhance quality control, eliminate error and ensure customers experience systems of “exceptional quality”.
This is an excellent opportunity to meet the company’s specialist teams and witness its sophisticated new 3D optical and X-ray inspection systems as well as the Yamaha SMT lines in action.
