Periodic Testing
Generally fire extinguishing systems installed in accordance with ISO14520 and EN15004 use Transportable Pressure
Vessels to store the fire extinguishants. These containers are filled in specialised facilities away from the installation site
and moved to their intended position while pressurised. While installed in their intended position they are firmly fixed in
position.
Inspections of the systems and pressure vessels are carried on site and in accordance with EN15004 every 6 months. This
includes leak checking of the extinguishant container and checking for any damage or corrosion to the pressure vessel.
Should any work be needed on the extinguishant pressure vessel then it is removed to a specialist off site facility. This
includes the recovery of any extinguishant at the end of the systems life.
While installed on site the pressure vessels are securely fixed and connected to distribution pipe work. In this situation
the containers and system come under the Pressure Equipment Directive which permits the use of Transportable Pressure
Vessels.
Movement by road of the pressurised containers is covered by the Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR 2011). This
regulation requires the pressure vessel to be hydraulically pressure tested every 10 years. The ADR is supported by a
number of European Standards e.g. EN1803 ‘Transportable gas cylinders – Periodic inspection and testing of welded
carbon steel gas cylinders’. This provides guidance on the inspection periods and describes how to carry out the tests. The
extract below provides guidance on the inspection period.
Clause 3 of EN 1803 paragraph 1 allows the pressure vessel to be used beyond the inspection period (10 years for these
types of containers) up to the ‘first receipt by a filler.’ The proviso in paragraph 2 is that the cylinder has not been abused.
For fire protection system pressure vessels protecting valuable electronic equipment the containers are generally in a
clean, dry and protected environment where any recharges after a fire are infrequent. Therefore the conclusion is that the
fire protection system containers may remain in service up to 20 years if not activated after the initial10 years but the last
paragraph appears to over‐ride this conclusion.

Periodic Testing
Paragraph 3 issues special instructions for ‘cylinders used for emergency purposes’ and examples ‘fire extinguishers’.
Unfortunately the standard does not say why ‘emergency purposes’ is excluded from the extension of the periodic test
period or what is intended under ‘fire extinguishers’ i.e. portable fire extinguishers and or fixed systems. It is not clear
what the committee drafting the standard were concerned about. For a fireman’s air cylinder it is conceivable that the
pressure vessel may be subject to repeated charging and discharging, physical damage while the fireman is manoeuvring
or even exposure to a fire. In this case it would be expected that the cylinder should be subject to a more rigorous
inspection regime. The same could apply to portable fire extinguishers. For fixed fire protection systems these generally
are installed in a cosseted environment and protected from damage and corrosion. These could be described as fixed
storage containers that merely operate when required to discharge the contents onto an incipient fire before it becomes
an emergency.
In conclusion the inspection period for fixed fire protection systems installed in accordance with EN15004 appears to
hinge on the meaning of ‘emergency use’ and ‘fire extinguisher’. Clarification on the intention of this clause should be
requested from the EN Standard Committee. This can be a slow process.
Further guidance may be available from the Health and Safety Executive.

The vents are specifically designed for a Chemical Gaseous type Fire Extinguishing system; as during a Chemical Gas
Suppression system discharge both Negative and then Positive pressures are created – which can lead to structural damage
should the enclosure be insufficiently vented.
The performance has been fully tested and verified by the Building Research Establishment with fully monitored gas discharge
tests (April 2008).
