Inspection Gaseous Fire Extinguishing System

Loss of computer systems is a serious threat to business continuity and therefore for your business operations. Sprinkler systems cannot protect such equipment against fire. Therefore, gaseous fire extinguishing systems are often used to warrant business continuity but also from an insurers perspective. A gaseous fire extinguishing system could also be installed in the context of the PGS 15 directive.
Gaseous fire extinguishing systems can use inert gases or chemical gaseous agents. A fire alarm system usually actuates a gaseous fire extinguishing system. It is important that gaseous fire extinguishing system and fire alarm system are specifically designed for the applicable fire risk and environmental factors.
Inspection Gaseous Fire Extinguishing System
Gaseous fire extinguishing protection has a number of aspects that in coherence are conditional for reliable operation. Hence at Kiwa FSS we use our expertise to assess following aspects during inspections of gaseous fire extinguishing systems:
- Technical aspect: the gaseous fire extinguishing and fire alarm systems;
- Structural aspect: the fire resistance rating of the structural building elements, pressure relief provisions and air tightness of a room
- Organisational aspect: the system’s lifespan, partly management and maintenance dependent

Kiwa FSS operates in a wide range of facilities, including health care, tunnels, logistical, industrial, (petro) chemical, data centres, airports, storage of hazardous goods and hotels.
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 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.
K21045 Fire Protection Systems
The K21045 Fire Protection Systems Assessment scheme is a scheme for Testing, Inspecting and Certification (TIC) Fire Protection Systems.
Kiwa FSS Testing: test lab for sprinklers
Sprinkler systems have proven to be a reliable fire-protection system for many years. However, many of these systems are showing their age and it is not uncommon to find sprinkler systems that were installed 25 or more years ago. The sprinklers in these systems are dated and will need to be replaced over time as a preventative measure.
K23003 Fire Extinguishing Systems based on Dry Aerosol
The K23003 describes the processes with regard to supplying of the basic- and detailed design, installation and the maintenance of fixed fire-extinguishing systems based on condensed dry aerosol for structures and compartments.
Quick scan Fire Safety in Buildings
Kiwa FSS’s quick scan Fire Safety in Buildings is an independent investigation to determine the current status of fire safety precautions.
Inspection and Certification Water Mist Systems
Kiwa FSS has a lot of experience inspecting and certifying water mist protection systems, based on both the CCV inspection schemes as compliance with standards. Kiwa FSS also conducts random inspections for certification bodies.
Inspection Fire alarm and Evacuation Alarm Systems
In case of fire, fire alarm and evacuation alarm systems are crucial for the safety of occupants in a building and minimising damage. Kiwa R2B is the expert for inspection and certification of fire alarm systems and evacuation alarm systems, see here for more information!
Internal Inspection of Sprinkler System Piping
An automatic sprinkler system must have a reliable pipe system for optimal operation. An internal Inspection of Sprinkler System Piping will give you an insight into the current condition of your sprinkler system.
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 Foam Extinguishing Protection - Foam Extinguishing System
As an experienced partner in fire safety, Kiwa Fire Safety & Security (Kiwa FSS) applies a comprehensive approach to all relevant aspects of your foam extinguishing protection during a Foam Extinguishing System Inspection.
Fire Safety Inspection / Inspection Fire Safety By Kiwa
A fire safety inspection (structural fire safety) by Kiwa FSS is conducted based on applicable fire safety regulations, such as the NEN 6059 standard or the VIVB inspection scheme.
