At Canadian Info Tech (CIT), our commitment to life safety and operational continuity continues to expand. We’re proud to announce that our team is now officially Retrotech Enclosure Integrity Test Certified, giving us the capability to provide specialized, standards-compliant fire suppression integrity testing for clients across critical industries.
Whether you're managing a data center, control room, archive vault, or high-sensitivity storage area protected by clean agent fire suppression, enclosure integrity testing is essential to ensure that your suppression system will actually work when it's needed most.
Why Enclosure Integrity Testing Matters
Clean agent suppression systems — like FM-200, Novec 1230, or inert gas-based solutions — rely on the protected room being sealed to hold the extinguishing agent for a minimum retention time. If the agent leaks out too quickly, the system fails to suppress the fire effectively, and costly damage or downtime can occur.
CIT’s certified testing ensures that your fire suppression system will perform exactly as designed, protecting your people, data, and equipment in the event of an incident.
What CIT’s Retrotech-Certified Services Include:
✅ Enclosure Integrity Testing
We conduct tests that meet NFPA 2001, ISO 14520, and EN 15004 standards to verify that enclosures can retain suppression gases for the required hold time. This includes:
- Door fan tests to simulate and measure airflow
- Real-time pressure decay analysis
- Room configuration assessments
Whether it’s a new installation or part of an annual inspection, we provide clear, actionable results.
✅ Leakage Detection & Analysis
Through advanced door fan testing and FanTestic Integrity software, we detect air leakage points that could compromise suppression gas retention or delay agent concentration.
Our team identifies and documents:
- Wall, floor, ceiling, and ductwork leaks
- Improper door seals
- HVAC system bypasses
- Structural openings from conduits or cable trays
Once identified, we help prioritize which leaks must be addressed to achieve compliance.
✅ Pressure Relief Vent Verification
Too much pressure during agent discharge can damage an enclosure’s structure. That’s why we measure the area and placement of pressure relief vents to verify that your room is capable of safely releasing excess pressure while still maintaining enough sealing for retention.
This is especially critical in:
- Server rooms
- Generator enclosures
- Electrical substations
- Archives or museums with sensitive assets
We ensure that your enclosure won’t be damaged by its own protection system.
✅ Compliance Reporting & Certification
After testing, CIT provides a comprehensive report with:
- Room dimensions and leakage rates
- Pass/fail status according to NFPA/ISO/EN standards
- Recommendations for improvements
- Certification documentation for insurance, audits, and regulatory bodies
Whether you’re preparing for an audit or validating a new system, we help you stay compliant, confident, and covered.
✅ Predictive Maintenance & System Optimization
Our testing isn’t just a pass/fail process — it’s a diagnostic tool for long-term performance optimization.
With data from FanTestic Integrity software, we can:
- Predict retention performance over time
- Simulate different room configurations
- Plan for changes in equipment or room usage
- Avoid costly reworks during facility upgrades
This approach supports proactive fire system management, not just reactive inspections.
✅ Training & Technical Support
As part of our services, we also provide technical guidance and on-site training to your team. This includes:
- How to prepare enclosures for testing
- Understanding and interpreting test results
- Planning seal improvements or vent upgrades
- Maintaining compliance year-over-year
CIT is not just a service provider — we’re your fire safety partner every step of the way.
