When deploying a high-performance gaseous fire suppression system—such as those engineered by Retrotec—installing the cylinders and piping is only half the solution. To ensure that clean agents (like FM-200, Novec 1230, or inert gases) can effectively extinguish a fire without risking re-ignition, the protected room must possess a high level of airtightness.
An Enclosure Integrity Test (commonly known as a Door Fan Test) is a mandatory commissioning and annual maintenance procedure designed to evaluate whether a protected server room, data center, or critical facility can successfully retain the extinguishing agent at its required design concentration for a specified period (typically a minimum of 10 minutes).
