Special Hazards

Any organization or company who installs a clean agent fire suppression system does so to protect sensitive equipment and data.  These systems are widely used in today’s high-tech environments to help limit the damage that can occur from a fire-both costly business interruption and damage to expensive and electronically sensitive equipment.  AFPS uses the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard 2001 – Standard on Clean Agent Extinguishing Systems and NFPA Standard 72 – National Fire Alarm Code as a guide for establishing for inspecting and maintaining clean agent fire suppression systems.

The facility owner is required to have the clean agent fire suppression system components visually inspected on a monthly basis to assess the suppression system’s operational condition and to have the clean agent suppression system tested semi-annually (every six months) in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and NFPA 2001 and NFPA 72. More frequent testing may be required by the local authority having jurisdiction.  We provide a report that contains all the relevant information for the fire marshal and your insurance company.  Take the worry out of keeping track of schedules.  Let AFPS track them for you.
