Fire Suppression Inspection -- Commercial Kitchen Cleaning

Fire suppression inspection is the semi-annual testing and certification of commercial kitchen fire suppression systems, commonly known as Ansul or wet chemical systems. These UL-300 listed systems automatically detect and suppress fires in hood, duct, and cooking appliance areas, representing the last line of defense against kitchen fires. NFPA 96 (the National Fire Protection Association standard governing commercial kitchen exhaust systems) mandates inspections every six months with no exceptions based on cooking volume. Certified technicians verify nozzle alignment, check agent levels and expiration dates, test detection fusible links, inspect manual pull stations, and ensure the system properly shuts off fuel and electrical to cooking appliances upon activation. This is among the most strictly enforced provisions of NFPA 96, and missing an inspection can void insurance coverage and result in immediate closure orders from fire marshals.
