International Standard (BS:ISO14520) requires that an enclosure integrity test (aka room integrity test, fan test, or pressure test) be conducted on system installation and thereafter at annual intervals.
Our staff have been at the forefront of such testing for well over a decade both in the UK and Ireland, as well as elsewhere overseas.
The test was introduced as an environmentally friendly alternative to discharge testing following the phase out of halon extinguishant under the Montreal Protocol on ozone depletion. It is applicable to all sizes of enclosure and all extinguishing gases, including argonite, inergen, proinert, IG55, FM200, FE25, HFC 227ea, FE25, Novec 1230 and CO2.
The testing is clean and non-disruptive, using a door mounted fan(s) to measure leakage flow. Work may continue as normal in the room during the test. An immediate result is obtained for the total room leakage and consequent extinguishant retention time. If this is below that required by the Standard, a detailed inspection is carried out to identify all major leakages for remedial sealing. A formal report is issued detailing the results and any recommendations. This should be retained for regulatory authority/ insurers reference.
Requirements
As from January 2001, gaseous fire extinguishing systems have been controlled by International Standard No 14520. This covers all the extinguishing gases introduced to supersede halon (e.g. argonite, inergen, FM200). It was published following the European Union decision requiring halon systems to be decommissioned by the end of 2003. Under this Standard, it is a requirement that an enclosure integrity test is conducted both upon system installation and annually thereafter as part of the routine maintenance schedule. This is to ensure that an extinguishing concentration is held for a sufficient time to prevent reignition in the event of a fire.
