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.

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.
