Water mist system inspection
A water mist system sprays fine water droplets under high or low pressure to effectively combat fire by reducing temperature and displacing oxygen. During the inspection, we assess whether the system, controls, and surrounding conditions meet the required standards. If all criteria are met, you receive an inspection certificate as proof of fire safety.
Sprinkler installation
A sprinkler system automatically detects and suppresses fires and is often used as an equivalent safety solution under the Building Decree. During an inspection, we check whether the system functions as intended and whether the design, installation, and maintenance meet the required standards. If everything is in order, you will receive an inspection certificate as proof of fire safety compliance.
Evacuation alarm system
An evacuation alarm system alerts people in time during a fire, allowing for safe evacuation. For many buildings, such a system is mandatory and must be certified. During the inspection, we assess whether the system functions properly, the controls operate as intended, and the management is in order. If everything meets the requirements, you will receive a certificate as proof of fire safety.
Fire Alarm System
A fire alarm system detects and alerts in the early stages of a fire, allowing for timely evacuation and limiting damage. In many cases, such a system is mandatory and must be certified with an inspection certificate. During the inspection, we check whether the system, its controls, and associated provisions meet the required standards. If everything is in order, you receive an inspection certificate as proof of fire safety.
Foam extinguishing system
Foam extinguishing systems are used in situations where water is not suitable, such as fires involving flammable liquids. During the inspection, we assess whether the system and related provisions meet the required standards. If everything is in order, you will receive an inspection certificate as proof of fire safety.
Extinguisher gas system
A gas extinguishing system puts out fires by releasing gas into a room or object, typically in locations where water would cause too much damage, such as data centers or museums. During the inspection, we check whether the system, its controls, and surrounding provisions meet all applicable requirements. If everything is in order, you’ll receive an inspection certificate as proof of fire safety.
Smoke control installation
In the event of a fire, a smoke control system removes smoke and heat to ensure safe evacuation. We check whether the system and related provisions meet the required standards. If everything is in order, you receive an inspection certificate as proof of fire safety.

Accreditations and recognitions
We go for quality. For guaranteed results.
Both nationally and internationally, buyers need assurance about the quality of goods and services provided. After all, diversity is great these days. Therefore, a supplier can have his product or service objectively assessed or tested by a laboratory, certification or inspection body. This is possible in every conceivable field, such as construction, energy, food, environment, drinking water, health, transport and so on. Certifying body Upon a good result, the assessing organization issues a declaration of conformity of the product or service. Usually that declaration consists of a certificate or report. This is why an evaluating body is called a conformity attestation body. It is important that this body be competent. Only then will the conformity statement be useful and reliable. An accreditation body, in the Netherlands the Council for Accreditation, assesses both the management system and the technical competence of the conformity body. In addition, the accreditation body supervises to ensure the impartiality and competence of the attesting body.

FAQ
All the most frequently asked questions
First of all, make sure that all necessary documents are provided in a timely manner: certificate, baseline document, logbook, report of completion or report of maintenance, maintenance contract, any permit from the competent authority and an up-to-date detailed design (drawings and calculations). But the documents must also be available to the inspector during the on-site inspection.
If a discrepancy is found during an inspection, it is noted in the inspection report. In this case, no inspection certificate can be issued. The client is given time to correct the discrepancy. A re-inspection will then assess whether everything is now in order.
The frequency of inspection is set by regulations (the Building Code) and rules (such as PGS 15) from the government.

Fire station destroyed due to missing fire alarm
In the German town of Stadtallendorf, a fire station was completely destroyed by a fire. The blaze spread unchecked because part of the station—only opened in January—had no sprinkler system or fire alarm. The damage is estimated at a minimum of 20 million euros.
The fire broke out shortly after 4:00 a.m. One of the vehicles may have caught fire, according to regional broadcaster Hessenschau. Local authorities confirmed that no fire detectors or sprinklers were present in the part of the station where the fire started.
