K21045 SCP04 Central Equipment for Fire Protection Systems with Solid Compound Generators
Receive a quote tailored to your needs
Well-controlled fire protection systems are crucial for the safety of people, buildings, and property. Quality requirements for system components are defined in the European standard: ‘EN 12094-1 Fixed Firefighting Systems - Components for Gas Extinguishing Systems’. However, this standard does not include specific requirements for fire protection systems with generators that produce their own extinguishing media.
Fire Protection Systems with Self-Generating Extinguishing Media
Fire protection systems using generators that produce their own extinguishing agents are being applied more frequently.
More information can be found here: K21045 SCP01 Generators.
Quality Requirements for Alternative Extinguishing Media
Self-generating fire protection systems are no longer limited to aerosol-based technologies; other extinguishing media are increasingly being introduced. For example, systems are now available in which the extinguishing generator itself produces nitrogen.
For this specific control technology, new quality requirements have been developed within the Specific Certification Programme ‘K21045 – SCP04 Control & Indicating Equipment and Control for Automatic Fire Protection Equipment and Fire Protection Systems Based on Solid Bound Compound (SBC) Generators’.
The K21045-SCP04 Specific Certification Programme provides guidelines for central control equipment used with generators that produce their own extinguishing media.
SCP04 is implemented on the basis of the testing, inspection, and certification scheme ‘K21045 Fire Protection Systems’ and defines the requirements applied by Kiwa when assessing applications for product certification.
K21045 Fire Protection Systems
The K21045-SCP04 Specific Certification Programme is implemented based on the K21045 Fire Protection Systems Testing, Inspection, and Certification Scheme.
This scheme is internationally applicable for the testing, inspection, and certification of fire protection systems. Through this scheme, Kiwa offers a high level of quality assurance for all common active fire protection systems at every stage of their lifecycle (manufacturing, installation, maintenance, and end-user operation).

K21045 Fire Protection Systems
The K21045 Fire Protection Systems is the assessment scheme for testing, inspection and certification (TIC) of fixed fire protection systems. This scheme therefore focuses primarily on manufacturers, installers and maintenance companies and offers these parties the opportunity to deliver products and services with verifiably a high degree of quality assurance within the wide range of fixed fire protection systems. But end users also have an interest in a conclusive quality chain. The objective of this TIC scheme K21045 is to improve safety and security through uniform application of the relevant international standards relating to fire protection systems.

K21045 Fire Protection Systems
The K21045 Fire Protection Systems Assessment scheme is a scheme for Testing, Inspecting and Certification (TIC) Fire Protection Systems.
K21045 SCP01 Fire extinguishing generators based on the extinguishing medium nitrogen
The specific certification program ‘SCP01 N2 Generators’ focuses on fire suppression generators that use nitrogen as the extinguishing agent, also referred to as nitrogen generators based on a solid condensed compound. SCP01 is conducted under the TIC scheme ‘K21045 Fire Protection Systems’ and outlines the requirements Kiwa applies when issuing a product certificate for N2 fire suppression generators.

K21045 SCP03 – The Certification Programme for Fire Safety in Marine Engine Rooms
Fires in marine engine rooms pose a significant risk to crew, vessel, and cargo. To ensure safety at sea, ships must comply with strict fire‑protection regulations. Many vessels are equipped with advanced fire‑suppression systems, but their effectiveness must be demonstrated. To support this need, Kiwa has developed the specific certification programme SCP03 – Extinguishing of Large-Scale Fires, Extinguishing of Large Fuel and Operational Fires in Maritime Applications. This programme verifies the performance of fire‑protection systems designed to tackle major fuel and operational fires in the maritime sector.
K21045-SCP05 Fire Protection of Lithium-Ion Battery Storage
To demonstrate the effectiveness of fire protection systems in lithium-ion battery storage facilities, Kiwa has developed the initial type test protocol ‘K21045-SCP05 Fire Protection of Lithium-Ion Battery Storage’. This specific certification programme, SCP05, is directly linked to the BRL-K21045 Fire Protection Systems scheme.
