When is it required?
Fire protection systems are crucial when it comes to people's safety. There are many different fire protection systems. Within this scheme Kiwa included the entire process from product to maintenance of the various fire protection systems in one scheme.
To be sure that these fire protection systems do what is expected of them, tests, company audits, inspections and assessments are are carried out on the delivered work. With a certificate, the end user can be confident that the installation does what is expected from it.
Kiwa NCP has drawn up BRL K21045 Fire Protection Systems for this.
Process steps
This international Testing, Inspection and Certification scheme includes all relevant requirements which are employed by Kiwa when dealing with applications to issue and for the maintenance of a certificate for products, processes and services used for fire protection systems.
Certification of your component or company based on the BRL K21045 Fire protection systems starts with an application, after which you receive a quote. Based on this quotation you can conclude a certification agreement with Kiwa. This is followed by an independent admission audit in which Kiwa NCP assesses whether the criteria for certification are met. If the result of the examination is positive, certification follows. If any shortcomings have been identified, you must resolve them first.
After the initial audit, periodic audits and inspections will be carried out annually to establish that the certified processes and performed work continue to meet the set requirements.
