The manufacturer also sends representatives to witness and verify the test. Rubber gaskets should be kept clean and away from oil, grease, excessive heat, and the direct rays of the sun. All enclosures protected by clean agents systems must be subjected to an Enclosure Integrity Test. Automatic Operation-Clean agent systems shall be operated automatically by an authority/government-approved automatic detection system. Enclosure Considerations-All enclosures protected by clean agent systems that are required by code to be provided with an extinguisher system, in the absence of sprinkler protection, must be constructed from 2-hour fire-resistant elements. Execute at site all the work as per QA/QC Procedure as well as Project Quality Plan. Perform Method of Statement, Inspection & Test Plan (ITP) as well as hydro-test package. They will either have their in-house team complete the works or will sublet to a facilities maintenance/building services contractor. Ensure installation work is undertaken only by trained and experienced personnel. Where any issues are noted, gauges should be replaced in line with the manufacturers requirements. The illumination shall be activated by a pressure switch fitted to the discharge piping. The typical concentration of an FM200 system is normally between 7.9% to 8.5%. Store pipes and fittings in covered areas for protection. <Give a broad overview of the testing procedure that is to be undertaken.> The general approach for Acceptance Testing the <System Name> System is as follows: <e.g. Sounder/flasher triggers 3.
