Water Mist System Inspection
Water mist system inspection
Buildings and building structures must be protected against fire and/or the effects of fire. There are several ways to do this and one of them is the use of water mist. A water mist system ensures the atomization of water droplets. This creates a strong cooling effect resulting in a drop in temperature. In addition, water mist has an oxygen expelling effect.
A water mist system can use low or high pressure systems. Low-pressure systems operate at a pressure of up to 16 bar in the piping system and can be combined with traditional sprinkler systems. By applying higher pressure, less water is required than traditional sprinkler systems. High-pressure water mist systems operate at pressures between 40 and 200 bar. The installation required with a high-pressure system requires less maintenance compared to traditional sprinkler systems. Learn more about the application of water mist systems in healthcare.

When an inspection?
If a water mist system is used as an equivalent solution to a building code requirement, this system must always be provided with an inspection certificate in accordance with the CCV inspection scheme. Of course, it is also possible to have an inspection carried out on a voluntary basis. For example, to gain assurance about the performance or status of your water mist system or as a second opinion.
During an inspection of a water mist system it is assessed that the objective is met. This objective must be traceable from the Basic Design (e.g. DIOM). During the inspection, the installation is checked and the associated controls tested, as well as architectural and organizational issues such as management of the installation, storage, etc., are also considered. The exact inspection points can be found in the CCV inspection schedule. For more information read our news item about water mist installation certification: how does it work?
Inspection Certificate
An inspection certificate is required to demonstrate that your building is fire safe. During the inspection, the installations, structural provisions and organizational measures are assessed. If these points are all in order, you will receive an inspection certificate from us. With this you can show the insurer, among other things, that your fire protection meets the requirements.
Follow-up inspection
Once an initial inspection has been performed, a periodic inspection must then take place. We do this to verify that management is being carried out properly and that the plant is still fulfilling its stated objective. The interval of this inspection is annual, or depending on the requirements set for the object.

An inspection certificate is required to demonstrate that your building meets fire safety standards. During the inspection, the systems, structural provisions, and organizational measures are assessed. If all aspects are in order, you will receive an inspection certificate from us. This serves as proof — for instance to your insurer — that your fire protection complies with the relevant requirements.
