Proper maintenance of gas suppression systems is crucial to ensure their effectiveness and compliance with safety standards. Here are the minimum requirements according to SANS 246 and other industry standards:

🔄 Quarterly Services:
A minimum of four services per year is required to maintain optimal performance and compliance with regulations.
🛠️ Integrity Tests:
Yearly integrity tests are required for each gas area to ensure no leakage and proper system functionality.
📋 Inspection:
Regular inspections should be conducted to check for any signs of damage, leaks, or corrosion. This helps in identifying potential issues before they become major problems.
🔧 Testing:
Functional tests should be carried out at least once a year to ensure the system activates correctly in the event of a fire. This includes checking control panels, detectors, and suppression agents.
🕰️ Hydrotesting Gas Cylinders:
Gas cylinders should be hydrotested every 10 years to ensure their safety and functionality.
