K21045 SCP06 Fire Protection of Livestock in Stables Based on Water Mist Systems

In addition, SCP06 defines the performance requirements for fire protection systems in stables and is based on the typical hazard configuration currently found in such environments.
The configuration of the fire protection system in this specific certification programme is based on a total flooding water mist system, with the objective of fire suppression. A total flooding water mist system disperses a fine mist of water, enabling rapid suppression or extinguishing of a fire within the stable. This system does not pose a risk to the animals present. The water mist circulates in the air under high pressure, generating extremely small microscopic droplets. These droplets have a cooling effect on the fire, suppressing the oxygen supply and absorbing heat. This form of fire protection is effective in interrupting the combustion process in stables.
When developing the specific certification programme SCP06, the following considerations were taken into account:
- Integration with existing water mist systems used for regulating the temperature inside the stable for animal welfare;
- Integration with existing video surveillance systems used to monitor animals in the stable;
- Integration of the water mist system with the existing climate control system is necessary to improve the return on investment for users of these systems;
- This integration positively influences the decision-making process regarding investments aimed at protecting stables and livestock;
- The fire protection system is not intended to cause harm to the animals present.
Why was SCP06 developed?
Every year, many animals are lost in stable fires. Such fires are often caused by lightning strikes, spontaneous combustion, or electrical failures. Due to the presence of highly flammable materials such as straw, hay, and manure gases, fires can develop rapidly and become severe. These incidents often have significant consequences for the animals involved and a major emotional and financial impact on farmers and emergency responders.
To address this issue, the Specific Certification Programme SCP06 was developed for fire safety in livestock stables, based on water mist systems.

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.
Why Kiwa Fire Safety & Security?
Kiwa Fire Safety & Security (Kiwa FSS) is a leading testing, inspection and certification (TIC) company, focusing on products, installations and companies in the field of fire and burglary protection. Kiwa FSS provides services in an expert, flexible, customer-oriented and innovative manner. These services include conducting inspections, certifying (fire) security companies, testing products and providing training from a fully independent, objective and integral position.

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 SCP02 Fire Protection Systems for Chemical Storage (Storage of Liquid Fuels) in Buildings
How safe is your chemical storage? Prevent devastating pool fires with certified fire protection systems. Discover Kiwa’s SCP02 testing and certification, the benchmark for extinguishing liquid fuel fires indoors.
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 SCP04 Central Equipment for Fire Protection Systems with Solid Compound Generators
Technical developments in fire protection systems are continuously evolving. Increasingly, systems equipped with generators that produce their own extinguishing media are entering the market. These are typically aerosol-based, but nitrogen-based systems are also emerging. To address these innovations, specific quality requirements have been established and formalized in the certification scheme: ‘K21045 - SCP04 Control & Indicating Equipment and Control for Automatic Fire Protection Equipment and Fire Protection Systems Based on Solid Bound Compound (SBC) Generators’.
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.
K21045 SCP07 Remote access & services on Fire pump systems for sprinklers
For the execution of the bi-weekly testing of the sprinkler system, a scope has been defined in the Specific Certification Programme ‘SCP07 Remote Access & Services on Fire pump Systems for Sprinklers’, which is carried out under the Test, Inspection & Certification scheme ‘K21045 Fire Protection Systems’.
Inspection PGS 15 Publicatie reeks Gevaarlijke Stoffen (Publication Series on Hazardous Substances)
Guideline 15 from the Publication Series on Hazardous Substances (PGS) contains guidance for the storage of packaged hazardous goods. Kiwa FSS can assess the fire safety aspects in your storage facility during an inspection PGS 15, including from baseline inspection to PGS 15 certification and follow-up inspection.
Inspection and Certification Water Mist Systems
Kiwa FSS has a lot of experience inspecting and certifying water mist protection systems, based on both the CCV inspection schemes as compliance with standards. Kiwa FSS also conducts random inspections for certification bodies.
Inspection and Certification Sprinkler Systems
Kiwa FSS inspects sprinkler protection. Sprinkler systems are reliable fire control systems. A sprinkler system must detect, signal and control a starting fire. In many cases the fire will be extinguished by a few sprinklers.
Kiwa FSS Testing: test lab for sprinklers
Sprinkler systems have proven to be a reliable fire-protection system for many years. However, many of these systems are showing their age and it is not uncommon to find sprinkler systems that were installed 25 or more years ago. The sprinklers in these systems are dated and will need to be replaced over time as a preventative measure.
Test/Measuring Trailer for Water-Based Extinguishing Systems Water Supply Capacity
The water supply capacity of water-based extinguishing systems shall be checked periodically to confirm whether the required capacity is still available. Kiwa R2B has a custom build test/measuring trailer equipped with a calibrated capacity meter and auxiliary hoses and fittings.
Inspection Smoke Control Systems (RCS)
Smoke control systems (RBS) must create a smoke-free egress route for the building’s occupants. Because regulations and unambiguous basic assumptions are largely not available, it is important to work with partners with sufficient knowledge. Kiwa is such an expert partner.
