Room Integrity Testing
At Kanay Fire, we perform periodic inspections and examinations of all fire systems and devices with our expert inspector
engineering staff.

BlowerDoor GmbH Integrity Test
When performing engineering design for rooms where clean gas fire suppression systems will be installed, attention must be paid to ensure the room is completely sealed. This is the internationally standardized test method recommended instead of gas discharge testing (live test) to determine and report whether the fire suppression system designed for the room will provide adequate protection in case of a fire.
After calculating the amount of uncloseable and invisible openings in spaces protected or to be protected by gas suppression systems, if the gas retention time of 10 minutes in the volume is achieved, it means the room has passed the integrity test. Rooms that fail the test must have their integrity improved. Common issues typically include construction gaps in cable wall, floor and ceiling penetrations, door frame bottoms, window openings, lack of sealed doors, and dampers without proper seals or complete sealing.
The test and calculated results are documented in a report. The report must include the test date, who and which volume was tested,
name and surname of the user representative attending the test, protected room volume measurements, test device brand
model and serial number, measured air characteristics, type of extinguishing gas, design
concentration of the extinguishing gas, minimum gas retention time in the room, and whether it passed or
failed the integrity test.
