Test lab
As an alternative to replacing sprinklers, it is possible to test a representative sample of the current sprinklers for reliability. Kiwa FSS has developed an innovative laboratory environment to independently and professionally establish whether these sprinklers are still working in accordance with the applicable standards.
Meeting the ISO and NEN standards
The standards describe how a representative sample should be taken. The selected sprinklers are sent to the laboratory where they are tested for reliability according to the applicable testing methods in ISO 6182/NEN-EN 12259. All of the tests are extensively documented which guarantees traceability.

EN-NTA 8133 test Lithium Fire Extinguishers
In order to be sold on the Dutch market, portable fire extinguisher must have the Dutch Approval Mark (Dutch: Rijkstypekeur). Test methods for different fire classes are included in EN 3-7.
