Ensuring Effective Fire Suppression Through Integrity Testing

At J-Tek, we prioritize the effectiveness of your fire suppression systems. Our integrity testing services are crucial for verifying that gaseous fire protection systems can retain extinguishing agents at safe and effective levels. This testing helps prevent excessive agent loss, which can compromise the system’s performance and potentially lead to failure during an emergency.

What is Integrity Testing?

Integrity testing involves measuring the leakage of enclosures within gaseous protected areas. By assessing how much agent can escape, we ensure that the system can maintain the necessary concentration to effectively suppress a fire. This is critical because losing too much extinguishing agent can reduce its effectiveness, jeopardizing safety.

Why is Integrity Testing Important?

  • Safety Assurance: Integrity testing confirms that your fire suppression system can retain extinguishing agents at safe levels, preventing over-pressurization and ensuring optimal performance.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Our integrity testing adheres to ISO 14520, EN, NFPA, and FIA Codes of Practice for Gaseous Fire Fighting Systems, ensuring your system meets industry standards.
  • Routine Maintenance: Conducted during initial commissioning and regularly as part of routine maintenance—typically once a year—integrity testing is essential for long-term functionality.
  • Risk Mitigation: Excessive leakage or smoke ingress can severely impair a system’s firefighting capabilities. By identifying and addressing potential leaks, we help protect your facility and its occupants.
