All gaseous fire suppression
system that protects an enclosure should have a room
integrity test when it is commissioned. It is a requirement of British
Standards BS EN15004 and NFPA 2001.
In the corresponding ISO
standard BS EN15004, it states that it is mandatory to undertake the integrity
testing annually on your enclosure if its protected by a gaseous fire
suppression system’.
It is worth noting that if
you don’t have valid enclosure certification you may negate your buildings
insurance in the event of a fire.
Sometimes insurers may be
confused, as BS EN 15004 asks that you undertake any modifications to the
building envelope within the annual period you should test it after the
modifications are complete; however you are also required to undertake the
testing on annual basis as a minimum.
