Residential and commercial fire sprinkler testing and certification services
Our Suppression team supports manufacturers, regulatory authorities, building owners, consultants and insurance companies with certification and customized fire sprinkler testing services for a variety of suppression equipment, including products for residential and commercial sprinkler systems.
Fire sprinkler standards, regulations and requirements
We test and certify sprinklers and nozzles to the requirements in the current editions of the following standards:
- ANSI/UL 199 Standard for Safety of Automatic Sprinklers for Fire-Protection Service
- EN 12259-1 Requirements and Test Methods for Sprinklers
- EN 12259-14 Residential Automatic Sprinklers for Europe
Field sprinkler testing
Many communities have adopted NFPA 25 as a referenced standard in their building codes, which are enforced by local inspection authorities. This might lead some to ask: What are the NFPA 25 requirements for sprinkler testing?
We test sprinklers sampled from field installations as a service to inspection authorities, the sprinkler industry, the insurance industry and property owners. These sprinkler test reports help interested parties assess the effectiveness of sprinkler systems or whether they should consider replacing the sprinklers that are currently in service.
Online field sprinkler submission and management
The Field Sprinkler Testing tool provides a seamless approach for initiating and handling requests. To request this service, use our self-service portal to create an account and to manage testing and reporting on sprinklers from specified locations. Identification tags are also requested through this portal.
