Periodic maintenance of your fire extinguishing and detection systems is carried out by our expert personnel in compliance with the control methods specified by standards and regulations.  

We provide support for the prompt on-site detection and resolution of malfunctions, errors, or requested revisions in your fire protection systems, ensuring the systems are restored to operational status efficiently and effectively.  

After verifying the compliance of the installed fire protection systems with the project, our commissioning engineers conduct tests and explain the system’s operating principles. The system is then handed over to you in a fully operational and flawless state.  

Our company provides hydrostatic testing services for cylinders used in gas extinguishing, hood extinguishing, and water mist systems, as required by standards at specified intervals, along with certified test reports.  

ARASCO Engineering, authorized by its partner manufacturers, performs initial filling and refilling of chemical gas extinguishing systems (FK-5-1-12, HFC227ea) at its own filling facility.  

If you have a complete system certified by UL, FM, VDS, or LPCB and require refilling services, please contact us to discuss pricing.  

We also provide support for refilling cylinders for Inert Gas (IG-01, IG-100, IG-55, IG-541) extinguishing systems, Carbon Dioxide (CO2) systems, and High-Pressure Water Mist extinguishing systems.  

For spaces requiring gas extinguishing, it is essential that they are sealed to prevent gas leakage. According to NFPA 2001 and EN15004 standards, chemical gases such as HFC227ea and FK-5-1-12, as well as inert gases (IG01, IG100, IG55, IG541), must remain in the room for a minimum of 10 minutes after discharge. While the fire may extinguish immediately upon discharge, the gas must remain to prevent re-ignition during this critical period.  

The purpose of a leakage test is to identify potential leaks in the room by area (m²) and calculate how long the gas can be retained in the space.  

The test is conducted using a fan. First, the room is pressurized, then the fan is reversed to exhaust air out of the room. The air pressure inside the room and through the fan is measured with a highly sensitive digital manometer. These values are analyzed by advanced computer software. If the calculated retention time meets the 10-minute requirement, the room passes the test. Otherwise, revisions are made to seal the leaks.  

The gas retention time is also affected by whether the HVAC system operates during discharge.  

- If the HVAC system is turned off during discharge, the gas level in the room must not drop below 75% of the minimum room height after 10 minutes.  

- If the HVAC system remains operational, the gas concentration must not fall below the minimum extinguishing concentration level after 10 minutes.  

For Room Leakage Integrity Testing, we use original RETROTEC equipment and software. Additionally, we hold the following certifications:  

-RETROTEC Enclosure Integrity Training: Level 1– Basic hold time and peak pressure evaluation for the Installer and AHJ.  

-RETROTEC Enclosure Integrity Training: Level 2– Basic Enclosure Integrity Testing and Peak Pressure Analysis.  

-RETROTEC Enclosure Integrity Training: Level 3– Advanced Enclosure Integrity Testing and Evaluation.
