Smoke Factory Breakthrough: First BGV C1 Safety-Tested Fog System

Smoke factory is famous for its innovations in the fog sector: 0-10 Volt control, DMX-control, transportability, flightcase, electronic temperature control, XLR connectors, independent energy supply (Scotty), water-based Haze and more have been introduced to the market from the specialists from Hannover, and many are now industry standards.

Once again, Smoke Factory is the first to present an important breakthrough. For the first time a complete fog system has been safety-tested and BGV C1-approved by the authorities. The VBG (Institution for Statutory Accident Insurance and Prevention)

has tested the fog machines, the fluid and, finally, the result of the fogging process: the fog itself.

Fogging tests have been undertaken under realistic circumstances with samples of the air taken and investigated in the laboratories. Result: both the tested Smoke Factory foggers and four different fog fluids can be used safely and with no danger to health, and this is documented and proved by the ‘BGV C1 tested safety’ logo of the VBG.

“Theatres, TV-stations and rental companies can now show their actors, their audiences and their clients that the fog system they use is safe and not dangerous to health,” said Smoke Factory founder Florian von Hofen. "We are proud to have proof that will help our clients in many situations. We all know that many people have prejudices regarding the use of fog, but as professionals we also know that there is no light show, no moving light or laser effect without fog or haze. The reputation of the BGV C 1-certificate is highly regarded around the world, and we think there is no better way to show that we take our job seriously."

Smoke Factory are at ProLight+Sound in Frankfurt, hall 9.0, stand B 20.
