LOUISVILLE, Ky., July 21, 2008 – Honeywell (NYSE: HON) today announced that
its Vindicator V5 security system has been added to the list of
products approved for Homeland Security use under the federal Support
Anti-terrorism by Fostering Effective Technology Act of 2002 (the SAFETY Act).
The Vindicator V5 access and intrusion detection system is a
sophisticated, field-proven security technology featuring simultaneous
processing, dual communication paths and multi-state input processing. It is
currently used at sites such as military bases, oil refineries, correctional
facilities and other mission-critical installations, and is the first Honeywell
product to receive Designated status under the SAFETY Act.
The SAFETY Act was created to ensure that potential liability does not deter
manufacturers from developing new products and services that could save lives.
Managed by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the SAFETY Act includes two
levels of distinction, Designation or Certification, for innovative technologies
that assist the United States in anti-terrorism initiatives.
“A number of government and commercial procurements currently require the use
of products and services that have received SAFETY Act approval, and we expect
that number to increase,” said John Lorenty, general manager, Honeywell Systems
Group. “Because obtaining SAFETY Act designation requires such a rigorous review
by the federal government, our customers can feel confident in the protection
Vindicator offers.”
