FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

AirTest Asked To Help Development Of Testing Standards For Next Generation Fire Detection Devices

DELTA, BC, March 29, 2011 -- AirTest Technologies (TSXV: AAT) announced today that it has been asked by Underwriters Laboratory (UL) to participate on a UL committee responsible for establishing test standards for the next generation of multi-parameter smoke and fire detectors. These multi-parameter devices are intended to significantly reduce false alarms in residential and commercial applications by measuring gases like carbon monoxide (CO) while working with traditional ionization and photoelectric technologies now used for fire detection.

CO can also be a major health hazard in homes with malfunctioning combustion equipment.

Dr Jacob Wong, of Airware Inc, the inventor and licensor of AirTest's patent pending zero drift gas measurement technology will be participating in the UL committee along with Mike Schell, VP of Business Development at AirTest. Dr. Wong who is the principal in Airware Inc., a research and development company, possesses extensive experience, and numerous patents in the application of gas sensing in fire detection. The first meeting of this group will take place in late April 2011.

"AirTest's interest in participating in this important committee that will define the next generation of smoke/fire detectors is related to the breakthrough, zero drift gas sensing technology that we have exclusively licensed from Airware," said AirTest's President George Graham. "This technology can deliver the extended life, long-term stability, and low cost needed by existing smoke/fire detector manufacturers to significantly reduce false and nuisance alarms."

Graham added that, "While our primary focus in the development of our new sensor technology, is to target markets that are immediately available to us, we see fantastic long term potential in the multi-parameter fire detection market as it develops."
