To ensure the effectiveness of your gaseous fire suppression system, testing the ‘integrity’ of the room is vital to ensure your protected area is well sealed and your gaseous agent won’t escape, causing the fire to possibly re-ignite.
The effectiveness of a gaseous fire suppression system can only by guaranteed by regular ongoing maintenance of that facility. As part of an annual program of system maintenance, integrity testing of the protected enclosure must be undertaken to ensure that, on discharge, the extinguishing agent achieves the correct concentration at the necessary height for the minimum required retention time.
ISO 14520/BS150 states that an enclosure protected by a gaseous extinguishing system must be integrity tested on an annual basis or when changes are made to the enclosure boundary such as new cable penetrations.
