Fire protection systems such as sprinkler and water mist systems require a liquid pump to generate sufficient flow rate and water pressure to achieve their firefighting purpose. Maintenance of these pump systems and associated components has, until now, been carried out on-site at the location of the sprinkler or water mist installation.

Technology is advancing rapidly, offering the market new ways of working. As a result, the industry has initiated a development process to enable the bi-weekly testing of pump systems and associated components to be performed remotely as much as possible. In response, Kiwa has introduced the Specific Certification Programme ‘SCP07 Remote Access & Services on Fire pump Systems for Sprinklers’. This certification programme defines the requirements for such a solution.

Scope of Application

The ‘SCP07 Remote Access & Services on Fire pump Systems for Sprinklers’ specifies the functional and performance requirements for remote access services, as well as for the monitoring and servicing of fire pump systems and associated components used in fire protection systems based on sprinkler and water mist systems.

Currently, the following areas of application for remote access and monitoring are possible. The level of communication technology applied complies with TS-50136-10 and/or IEC 62443-3-3.

SCP07 distinguishes two basic scopes:

  • A.    Water mist systems – service;
  • B.    Automatic sprinkler systems – service.

Benefits of Performing Maintenance Remotely

By conducting the bi-weekly tests remotely, qualified personnel can be utilized more efficiently. As testing and maintenance processes are automated, human errors are minimized and results are recorded accurately.

In addition, performing the bi-weekly tests remotely offers two further advantages. On-site users are not disrupted by the activities, and emissions of NOx and COx are reduced, thereby contributing to a more sustainable economy.

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 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.
