EN 14972-16 Fixed Fire Suppression Systems - Test for Water Mist Systems

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN 14972-16 testing. This standard specifies fire test requirements for water mist systems used for fire protection of industrial oil cookers.

This does not include requirements for systems used for the protection of exhaust air ducts, heaters, heat exchangers and other equipment such as food processing and food preparation areas.

Water mist is a suppressant that can be applied to a wide variety of fire types. It does not harm people, reduces the heat and oxygen in the fire triangle, and prevents re-ignition with its cooling effect. Water mist systems are easy to install, retrofit and expand. The components are relatively small because relatively little water is required. Due to the size of the droplets, the water mist disperses well, filling many nooks and crannies within seconds of activation.”

Water mist systems rely on performance-based testing for the applications they protect. The standard lists the criteria for using water mist in buildings and how systems should be tested and documented.
