Precisely: what is testability?

Testability is the ability to verify that a system functions as intended, ensuring quality, reliability, and compliance. For fire extinguishing systems, testability means the system can be regularly checked for performance without disrupting readiness.

Ensure peak performance when it counts

Why testability matters in fire extinguishing systems?

Maximize uptime, minimize costs

Perform non-disruptive testing without triggering activations, avoiding costly downtime and refills.

 Detect problems early

Identify and fix hidden issues—such as leaks, wear, or faulty components—before they lead to failures.

 Safeguard lives and property

Be confident your system will perform in life-or-death situations, protecting people and assets.

Optimize system performance

Ensure the system deploys the exact amount of extinguishing gas—no waste, no underperformance.

Reduce catastrophic failure risk

Test under real-world conditions to minimize the chance of a system failure during an emergency.

Adapt to changing needs

Adjust your system to stay effective as your environment evolves—whether due to new equipment, layouts, or safety requirements.

The consequences of poor testability

Without proper testing, fire extinguishing systems are at risk of failing due to:

  • Corroded pipes or blocked nozzles.
  • Depleted extinguishing agents or leaks.
  • Faulty activation mechanisms or sensors.

Such failures can lead to:

  • Loss of life.
  • Property damage.
  • Legal liability.
  • Reputational harm.

Solenoid Test

Measuring the force exerted by the solenoid on the IV8 piston is necessary to confirm adequate activation force. This test ensures that the solenoid reliably moves the piston when receiving an electrical signal from the control panel, guaranteeing system activation.

    Bæredygtighed

    Fra brandsikker til fremtidssikret

    Vælg et bæredygtigt brandslukningsanlæg, der gavner din virksomhed og miljøet.

    Inergen er en inert gas, der er fuldstændig miljøvenlig og bæredygtig. Det er sammensat af naturligt forekommende atmosfæriske gasser, herunder 52% nitrogen, 40% argon og 8% kuldioxid.

    Inergen er helt sikkert at indånde og har et globalt opvarmningspotentiale (GWP) og ozonnedbrydningspotentiale (ODP) på nul. I modsætning til nogle brandslukningsmidler efterlader Inergen desuden ingen rester og kræver ingen oprydning efter udledning. Dette eliminerer behovet for omfattende oprydning eller dyr nedetid. Gør det til et omkostningseffektivt og fremtidssikret brandslukningssystem til datacentre.

    How it works

    How Inergen systems work in a data center

    The Inergen® fire suppression system is an automated solution designed to swiftly and effectively extinguish fires. It employs an aspiration system, which incorporates highly sensitive fire detection technology capable of identifying fires in their initial stages. Once a fire is detected, Inergen® is promptly released into the room. Reducing the oxygen level just enough to stop combustion, without posing any risk of harm to individuals present.
