CYLINDER PRESSURE TESTING & CYLINDER SERVICE EXCHANGE

“Legal requirement changes due to the amendment of the European Standard EN 1968:2000 (Transportable Gas Cylinders – Periodic inspection and testing of seamless steel Gas Cylinders)”

Until recently high pressure cylinders such as those used for all the gaseous fire suppression systems were only required to be pressure tested every 20 years. Recent changes to the standard have now removed this special dispensation and now all high pressure cylinders are legally required to be pressure tested every 10 years.

Not discounting the Health & Safety implications of this change in legislation for many Business Critical operators the key issue remains the fact that their business processes could be highly vulnerable from the threat of fire whilst high pressure cylinders are removed from a fire extinguishing system for testing.

With this key issue in mind, Automatic Fire & Integrated Solutions have developed a range of options to overcome both the potential fire risk and cost implications.

“It is now the system owner/users responsibility to submit their cylinders for periodic testing as laid down under the standard”

As a result of the this requirement and the impact it will have on our customers and their business, Automatic Fire & Integrated Solutions are delighted to advise that we have implemented a cylinder change out programme designed to minimise any disturbance to our customer business.

Under this change out program our change out team can replace your existing out of date un-certified cylinders with replacement cylinders certified for a further 10 years and re-commission your cylinder bank in one swift visit
