Swedish to English Marketing Marketing
In a technical piece: "Många typgodkända brandtätningsystem upfyller idag inte......"

My thoughts were "fireproofing systems", but I accept that this could also be "sealing" or similar. I'd appreciate any comments.

Brandtätningssystem - fireproofing systems is good

I think your "fireproofing systems" is good as fireproofing more often than not uses any number of products to give the correct fire rating such as concrete based board+foam+sealant around penetrations etc.
