Garrett Metal Detectors' Paragon Passes Rigorous NPSA Standards for Security Screening

Garrett Metal Detectors' Paragon Passes NPSA Testing

Garrett Metal Detectors, a prominent player based in Texas, has recently achieved a significant milestone with its flagship product, the Paragon® metal detector. This device has successfully undergone testing under the UK National Protective Security Authority's (NPSA) stringent Discriminative Metal Detection Systems Test Method. The results of these evaluations are now accessible to the public via the NPSA website.

The NPSA's assessment underlines the capability of the Paragon system to effectively screen individuals for potential mass casualty threats. The NPSA has explicitly stated, "NPSA has confidence that Garrett Metal Detectors has followed the proper testing protocols and that the results reflect the system's actual performance." Notably, the testing methods employed do not adhere to a pass/fail system, which means NPSA does not endorse or approve specific products that have undergone testing.

Alex Brundle, Senior Business Development Manager at Garrett Metal Detectors, shared his excitement regarding this achievement, emphasizing, "We’re proud that the Garrett Paragon Walk-Through Metal Detector has successfully completed the UK National Protective Security Authority Detection Method testing process and is now publicly listed by the NPSA. This accomplishment provides security professionals with an independently verified measure of detector performance."

Brundle further highlighted the value of independent testing results, stating that they offer data-driven insights allowing security personnel to make informed decisions, as opposed to relying solely on marketing claims. The goal of Garrett is to enhance user confidence in their products through rigorous third-party evaluations, fostering transparency and trustworthiness within the weapons detection industry.

The Paragon system was designed and developed in Garrett's Garland, Texas facility, and it is protected by appropriate patent and trademark safeguards. Customers can access Paragon through Garrett's global distribution channels as well as directly from the company's website, garrett.com. The company encourages consumers to purchase genuine products from reputable vendors to guarantee quality, effective security operations, and overall product performance.
