Installation and approval of fire safety equipment

Installation and approval of fire safety equipment

CWS installs fire extinguishers, SHEVS, extinguishing systems and other fire protection equipment until they are approved by an expert.

We install your fire protection equipment and carry out the preliminary inspection for approval by the relevant authorities. We also document our work and explain how to operate the fire protection equipment.

In addition, we take care of everything else related to your fire protection equipment, e.g. connection to the water system. As a result, you receive your system ‘ready to use’.

FAQ

It’s good to ask questions. Questions help you understand our work and help us understand your needs. We’ve probably covered some questions in our FAQs, but don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any more.

Wann ist eine Sachverständigenabnahme (auch PVO) erforderlich?

Brandschutzeinrichtungen, die nach LBO gefordert sind, müssen bei Inbetriebnahme und danach in regelmäßigen Prüfintervallen von einem anerkannten Sachverständigen abgenommen werden. In NRW beträgt das Intervall der Prüfung durch Sachverständige (kurz PVO) sechs Jahre. Im Gegensatz dazu ist in Niedersachsen eine Wiederholungsprüfung alle 3 Jahre erforderlich. Die Intervalle der PVO sind je Gewerk und Bundesland unterschiedlich.

Does CWS provide specialists to approve fire safety equipment?

Not necessarily, but we’d be happy to take care of that for you. We do also provide our own specialists who can approve third-party equipment within the regulatory framework.

Should electricity, water or anything else be turned off during the installation?

That always depends on the equipment that we’re installing for you. If individual supply flows need to be cut off temporarily, we’ll let you know in advance and agree on a time frame with you.

How long does the installation take?

It can vary, as it depends on the type of equipment for one thing – fire extinguishers are typically quicker to install than an extinguishing system. On the other hand, you can quicken up the installation by preparing in advance. Detailed plans help us carry out inspections and assessments.

Can CWS handle the installation all by itself?

Yes. We usually carry out the installation and inspection ourselves with our experts and coordinate with other tradesmen if necessary. Nevertheless, please provide an available point of contact who we can reach out to if needed. 

How important is a certificate for the installation of the equipment?

A certificate is essential because the relevant authorities require a declaration of conformity with the fire safety concept.
