SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
It is not uncommon for routine maintenance to be overlooked or given insufficient attention by
the owner of the system. Neglecting routine maintenance puts at risk the lives of occupants of
the premises, the equipment being protected, and could cause potentially crippling financial
losses.
The importance of maintenance cannot be emphasized enough.
Trained distributors and competent personnel shall regularly service a Kidde Inert Gas System.
The service engineer shall be proficient at installation and commissioning of Kidde Inert Gas
systems as well as having detailed knowledge of the system’s components.
A minimum of two thorough inspection per year shall be undertaken for an installation. The
inspection shall include a check of the integrity of the protected volume and a comparison with
the volume used at the design and installation of the system. Any significant change to the
room’s volume from that used at the design stage will affect the resulting oxygen concentration
after a release and may require corrective action to be taken.
Maintenance shall be performed in accordance with Chapter 6 of this manual and applicable
National Standards.

RETROFITABILITY
Retrofitting a Kidde Inert Gas System into an existing piping network shall only be done after
close examination of the installed pipe work, including verification of installed pipe and fittings
material by hydraulic calculation, visual check of surface treatment condition, corrosion,
external/internal leak and pressure testing
