Test lab
As an alternative to replacing sprinklers, it is possible to test a representative sample of the current sprinklers for reliability. Kiwa FSS has developed an innovative laboratory environment to independently and professionally establish whether these sprinklers are still working in accordance with the applicable standards.
In this video, we explain how the test is performed:
Meeting the ISO and NEN standards
The standards describe how a representative sample should be taken. The selected sprinklers are sent to the laboratory where they are tested for reliability according to the applicable testing methods in ISO 6182/NEN-EN 12259. All of the tests are extensively documented which guarantees traceability.

K21045 Fire Protection Systems
The K21045 Fire Protection Systems Assessment scheme is a scheme for Testing, Inspecting and Certification (TIC) Fire Protection Systems.
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.
Inspection and Certification Sprinkler Systems
Kiwa FSS inspects sprinkler protection. Sprinkler systems are reliable fire control systems. A sprinkler system must detect, signal and control a starting fire. In many cases the fire will be extinguished by a few sprinklers.
K23003 Fire Extinguishing Systems based on Dry Aerosol
The K23003 describes the processes with regard to supplying of the basic- and detailed design, installation and the maintenance of fixed fire-extinguishing systems based on condensed dry aerosol for structures and compartments.
NTA 8133 test Lithium Fire Extinguishers
In order to be sold on the Dutch market, portable fire extinguisher must have the Dutch Approval Mark (Dutch: Rijkstypekeur). Test methods for different fire classes are included in EN 3-7. However, there is currently no designated test method for lithium fire extinguishers in EN 3-7. That is why Kiwa offers lithium fire extinguisher testing according to the Dutch Technical Agreement NTA 8133.
Test/Measuring Trailer for Water-Based Extinguishing Systems Water Supply Capacity
The water supply capacity of water-based extinguishing systems shall be checked periodically to confirm whether the required capacity is still available. Kiwa R2B has a custom build test/measuring trailer equipped with a calibrated capacity meter and auxiliary hoses and fittings.
