Room Integrity Testing

The effectiveness of a gaseous fire suppression system relies not only on the installation but also on ensuring that the protected area is properly sealed to prevent the escape of the gaseous agent. If the area is not adequately contained, the fire could potentially reignite. This is where AAC's specialist joinery team can make a crucial difference. Our experts ensure that every aspect of the enclosure—whether it's sealing cable penetrations, door frames, or other potential points of escape—is meticulously addressed, safeguarding the integrity of the space.

Regular maintenance is essential to guarantee the ongoing effectiveness of a fire suppression system. As part of an annual maintenance programme, integrity testing must be conducted to verify that the enclosure can retain the extinguishing agent at the correct concentration and height for the minimum required retention time. Our team ensures that this process runs smoothly, using precision joinery to maintain the enclosure’s integrity year after year.

‍

In line with ISO 14520/BS150 standards, any enclosure protected by a gaseous extinguishing system must be integrity tested annually or whenever modifications, such as new cable installations, are made to the boundary. Our specialist joiners are fully equipped to address these changes, ensuring compliance and safety.
