Receive a quote tailored to your needs
If your company stores hazardous goods, you most certainly would like to see these to be well protected against fire. Particularly, storage of hazardous goods in larger quantities (more than 10,000 kg) requires special attention. In many cases, council authorities will specify requirements for such storage.
Storage of hazardous goods shall be properly protected. In many cases, if protection level 1 applies, extinguishing systems are required. For example automatic sprinkler systems and deluge systems (possibly with addition of a foam concentrate), automatic gaseous fire extinguishing systems and automatic Hi-Ex systems using inside or outside air. In addition to technical systems preconditions such as structural and organizational measures apply for an effective protection.
We are independent experts and can be commissioned for both new and existing protection systems. This may include the following activities:
- Inspection (baseline-inspection)
- Assessing basic assumptions
- Preparing an Inspection Plan
- Design assessment
- Conducting first and follow-up inspections including inspection certification

Your Inspection Conducted by Kiwa FSS Inspection
Read below which steps the inspection process consists of, up to and including the issuance of the inspection certificate.
Request for an Inspection
Would you like your (fire protection) system to be inspected by Kiwa FSS Inspection? If so, please contact us.
Quotation Acceptance
You will receive a quotation outlining the agreements and conditions applicable to the inspection. Once the signed quotation has been returned, the inspection process will be initiated.
Inspection Scheduling
After the quotation has been signed by both parties, the Kiwa FSS Planning Department will contact you to schedule the inspection. Following the appointment, you will receive a confirmation containing the details of the planned inspection.
Inspection Execution and Reporting
During the inspection, it will be determined whether the fire protection system complies with the applicable requirements. After completion of the inspection, the inspector records the findings and any non-conformities in an inspection report.
Review of the Inspection Report
The inspection report and its conclusion are subsequently reviewed to ensure the completeness, accuracy, and consistency of the assessment.
Non-Conformities and Corrective Actions
If deficiencies are identified, appropriate corrective actions must be implemented. These actions must be documented and supported with the necessary evidence, which is submitted to the inspector for review. Once the deficiencies have been resolved, the inspector will assess whether they can be closed. This assessment may be carried out administratively or through a re-inspection.
Decision on the Issuance of the Inspection Certificate
If the inspection results in a positive conclusion, an inspection certificate will be granted.
Issuance of the Inspection Certificate
Following a positive certification decision, the organization will receive the inspection report together with the corresponding inspection certificate.
Government Inspection Mark
The Government Inspection Mark is required to be able to sell or trade portable fire extinguishers (up to 20 kg) in the Netherlands. This "quality mark" is indicated in an elliptical symbol printed on the label of a portable fire extinguisher.
Inspection Fire alarm and Evacuation Alarm Systems
In case of fire, fire alarm and evacuation alarm systems are crucial for the safety of occupants in a building and minimising damage. Kiwa FSS is the expert for inspection and certification of fire alarm systems and evacuation alarm systems, see here for more information!
Inspection Smoke Control Systems (RCS)
Smoke control systems (RBS) must create a smoke-free egress route for the building’s occupants. Because regulations and unambiguous basic assumptions are largely not available, it is important to work with partners with sufficient knowledge. Kiwa is such an expert partner.
Internal Inspection of Sprinkler System Piping
An automatic sprinkler system must have a reliable pipe system for optimal operation. An internal Inspection of Sprinkler System Piping will give you an insight into the current condition of your sprinkler system.
