As an experienced partner in fire safety, Kiwa FSS applies a comprehensive approach to all relevant aspects of your foam extinguishing protection during a Foam Extinguishing System Inspection.
A foam extinguishing system is the most widely used fire protection system in storage facilities for flammable, toxic, caustic or other hazardous goods (as defined in the PGS 15 guideline). This could be either a small pesticides storage facility or large oil tanks on refineries. In addition to fire protection, safeguarding people and environment is an important objective of such systems. Foam concentrate is added to fire extinguishing water. Systems are defined as a light, medium or heavy foam system depending on the type of foam concentrate.
Fire Compartment
All spaces protected by a foam extinguishing system in a building structure shall be a fire compartment. Structural requirements apply to these spaces. Therefore, in addition to system operation Kiwa FSS also assesses structural details and organizational provisions associated with a foam extinguishing system during a Foam Extinguishing Protection Inspection.
In short: Kiwa FSS identifies and inspects all aspects essential for effective foam extinguishing system operation. Kiwa FSS inspections are based on both the CCV inspection schemes as compliance with standards. Kiwa FSS also conducts random inspections for certification bodies.

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 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.
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.
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.
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.
K21045 Fire Protection Systems
The K21045 Fire Protection Systems Assessment scheme is a scheme for Testing, Inspecting and Certification (TIC) Fire Protection Systems.
Inspection PGS 15 Publicatie reeks Gevaarlijke Stoffen (Publication Series on Hazardous Substances)
Guideline 15 from the Publication Series on Hazardous Substances (PGS) contains guidance for the storage of packaged hazardous goods. Kiwa FSS can assess the fire safety aspects in your storage facility during an inspection PGS 15, including from baseline inspection to PGS 15 certification and follow-up inspection.
Inspection CO/LPG Detection System
Standard (operating) conditions in motor vehicles parkings and storage garages can create an unsafe environment for occupants due to exhaust fumes or leaks. Carbon monoxide (CO) and LPG detection is one of the measures that can contribute to a safe environment for occupants.
Inspection Gaseous Fire Extinguishing System
Kiwa FSS inspects gaseous fire extinguishing systems based on the CCV inspection schemes and compliance with standards; prevent fire damage to computer and other equipment! If you want to know more about inspection of an extinguishing gas system, click here.
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.
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.
