Kiwa Fire Safety & Security (Kiwa FSS) is the expert for inspection and certification of fire alarm and evacuation alarm systems. Fire alarm and evacuation alarm systems, prescribed in building regulations worldwide, are an important component in fire alarm protection. Adequate fire alarm protection is an optimal mix of organizational, structural and technical measures. For example, implemented system technology shall suit internal and external alarm organization and, furthermore, the effect of structural measures on fire brigade accessibility or automatic detector actuation speed shall be well documented.
Complex Series of Measures
In short, adequate fire alarm protection is a complex series of measures that requires an effort from the suppliers of fire alarm systems, the occupant and the requiring party. Ultimately, this combined effort shall ensure that all measures implemented result in an effective protection. This complex series of various aspects requires an independent and professional assessment of its functionality.
Inspection Certificate Fire Alarm System
Kiwa FSS is best suited for an independent and expert assessment. As an experienced fire safety partner, through inspections we continuously monitor fire alarm and evacuation alarm systems for our customers, who range from SME’s to multinationals. Not only during planning and installation, but also when implemented protection measures are operational in practice. A Kiwa R2B fire alarm inspection certificate instils confidence to building managers and occupants. Obviously, scenarios can present themselves where only an assessment of the evacuation alarm system would apply. Kiwa R2B is also a most suitable inspection body for these scenarios.
Kiwa FSS inspections are both based on the CCV inspection schemes as compliance with standards. Kiwa FSS also conducts random inspections for certification bodies.

Inspection Smoke Control Systems (RCS)
Smoke control systems (RBS) must create a smoke-free egress route for the building’s occupants. Because regulations and unambiguous basic assumptions are largely not available, it is important to work with partners with sufficient knowledge. Kiwa is such an expert partner.

Inspection Emergency Lighting
During an Emergency Lighting Inspection, Kiwa assesses the basic assumptions for the emergency lighting as well as the design data to determine that emergency lighting meets the objective.

Air Permeability Test Reporting
Gaseous fire extinguishing systems are often used as a fire protection system. As a fire safety expert, Kiwa FSS can measure the air permeability of a room and thus determine the effectiveness of the extinguishing system.

Inspection Politiekeurmerk Veilig Wonen (PKVW) (‘Police Label Safe Housing’)
The Politie Keurmerk Veilig Wonen (PKVW) covers security in houses, residential buildings, large residential complexes and residential suburbs. Kiwa FSS has been involved as an inspection body in the implementation of the PKVW since 1997.

Test/Measuring Trailer for Water-Based Extinguishing Systems Water Supply Capacity
The water supply capacity of water-based extinguishing systems shall be checked periodically to confirm whether the required capacity is still available. Kiwa R2B has a custom build test/measuring trailer equipped with a calibrated capacity meter and auxiliary hoses and fittings.
