Obtaining globally recognized certifications is one of the most important steps for any manufacturer serving the fire protection industry. On this occasion, Jiuyi Fire Technology Co., Ltd successfully received the official UL 1247 Certification for its firefighting diesel engine. The certificate issuance ceremony marks not only the recognition of technical capability, but also a milestone in building global trust in Chinese-manufactured firefighting equipment.
As a professional manufacturer of fire pumps and complete fire pump systems, we understand the value and impact of such a certification. UL 1247 sets a strict benchmark for the design, construction, safety, and reliability of internal-combustion engines used to drive fire pumps. Passing UL testing demonstrates that a diesel engine can deliver dependable performance when a fire emergency occurs and lives, property, and infrastructure depend on it.
The following article provides a detailed view of the ceremony, the importance of UL 1247, and what this achievement means for the fire protection industry worldwide.
The certificate issuance ceremony gathered representatives from Jiuyi Fire Technology, industry partners, quality control experts, and UL officials. During the event, the UL 1247 Certification Certificate was formally issued to the company, confirming that its firefighting diesel engine series has passed all required testing procedures and meets the compliance level needed for global markets.
This milestone reflects years of research, development, optimization, and rigorous product testing. Jiuyi Fire Technology has consistently invested in its engine platforms, focusing on durability, heat resistance, stable torque output, and operational safety—key attributes necessary for engines used in firefighting pump systems.
UL 1247 is a widely recognized standard that defines requirements for internal combustion engines driving fire pump systems. It focuses on:
Mechanical reliability
Fuel system safety
Speed governing accuracy
Starting performance
Endurance and overload capability
Emission and environmental responsiveness
Integration with fire-pump control systems
Fire protection systems cannot tolerate engine failure. A diesel fire pump must start instantly when needed and operate continuously under high stress. UL 1247 certification ensures that the engine has been tested under simulated real-fire conditions, including extreme temperature, load changes, and emergency operational demands.
By achieving this certification, Jiuyi demonstrates that its diesel fire pump engines are ready for international applications, including high-rise buildings, commercial complexes, industrial plants, oil and gas facilities, airports, ports, and critical municipal infrastructure.
Behind every certified product is a series of engineering enhancements. Jiuyi Fire Technology’s diesel engine platform integrates multiple improvements that helped it successfully pass UL 1247 testing, including:
The engine adopts optimized materials and upgraded core components to ensure high durability under prolonged operation, especially in hot environments.
Stable RPM is essential for maintaining constant water pressure at the fire pump discharge. Jiuyi’s engine incorporates an improved governing and monitoring system for precise pressure control.
Fire emergencies may occur in harsh environments. The engine has undergone repeated cold-start and heat-soak testing to ensure reliable ignition in all weather conditions.
During real-world firefighting operations, pumps may face sudden pressure demands. The certified engine passed the UL overload tests, demonstrating continuous operation stability.
The engine integrates seamlessly with fire pump controllers, fire pump performance curves, and system protections, making it ideal for UL-listed pump packages and other compliant assemblies.
These advancements show how Jiuyi is not simply meeting the standard but actively engineering its diesel engines for high-performance global markets.
Jiuyi’s achievement brings value to multiple levels of the fire safety sector:
Manufacturers worldwide can integrate a UL 1247 certified diesel engine into their fire pump sets with more confidence, improving the overall reliability of the system.
Global construction projects—especially those in North America, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia—often require UL-compliant equipment. Jiuyi’s certification helps more suppliers meet these requirements.
Obtaining UL certification is an important milestone for elevating international recognition of Chinese-made fire protection products. It demonstrates that local manufacturers can meet the highest global safety benchmarks.
The ultimate benefit goes to building owners, facility operators, and emergency responders. A UL 1247 certified engine ensures the fire pump system will perform at the critical moment it is needed most.
During the ceremony, speeches from company leadership and UL representatives reflected the significance of this accomplishment. Jiuyi’s engineering team shared insights into product R&D, manufacturing challenges, and the long testing process required to meet UL’s stringent criteria.
The atmosphere was one of pride and progress, as the ceremony symbolized years of technical dedication. UL officials emphasized that certification is not the final step—it must be maintained through continuous quality inspections, production audits, and ongoing compliance monitoring.
This ensures that every engine leaving the production line maintains the same high safety standard as the certified model.
The fire protection industry depends heavily on reliable, compliant equipment. With more UL certified engines available, system designers and EPC contractors gain:
Greater flexibility in project design
Reduced procurement lead time
More competitive pricing
Simplified documentation and approval process
Higher compatibility with UL fire pump packages
Jiuyi’s certification adds another trusted component to the global supply chain, benefiting pump manufacturers, distributors, engineering firms, and end customers.
UL 1247 certification is the result of:
Investment in advanced testing facilities
Strict production quality control
A structured product development methodology
Comprehensive internal testing prior to UL audit
Collaboration between engineers, compliance experts, and UL inspectors
Jiuyi Fire Technology has stated that the certification is not a finish line but a new beginning. The company plans to expand its certified product range, aiming to introduce additional engine models and complementary fire pump components under UL and other international standards.
As fire protection requirements continue to evolve, the demand for certified and reliable diesel engine fire pumps remains strong. Global fire codes, especially those tied to NFPA and UL standards, increasingly focus on system resilience, automation, real-time communication, and performance under extreme conditions.
Jiuyi Fire Technology aims to continue its technical innovation in the following areas:
Higher-efficiency engines with reduced emissions
Smarter monitoring systems for engine performance
Integration with advanced fire pump controllers
Improved reliability under long-duration emergency operations
Expansion into complete UL listed fire pump packages
Its UL 1247 certification marks the start of a broader strategic roadmap toward global fire protection leadership.
The UL 1247 Certification Certificate Issuance Ceremony for Jiuyi Fire Technology Co., Ltd represents a major advancement not only for the company but for the fire protection industry as a whole. Achieving UL certification requires a deep commitment to product reliability, safety, and long-term consistency.
This achievement strengthens the global fire safety supply chain, provides more reliable options for fire pump manufacturers, and increases confidence for international engineering projects requiring UL-compliant equipment.
As a manufacturer in the fire pump industry, we recognize the importance of such milestones. Certifications like UL 1247 reinforce the mission shared across the fire safety field: ensuring that every component of a fire protection system performs flawlessly during the moments when it matters most.
