Critical Readiness: Certified Fire Hydrant Flow and Pressure Testing to I.S. 391:2020

We are pleased to confirm the completion of certified flow and pressure testing of a private fire hydrant according to the stringent I.S. 391:2020 Irish Standard. This essential work was carried out by a Solve Fire Safety engineer to verify the hydrant’s readiness for any emergency.

A reliable Fire Hydrant water supply is the backbone of effective firefighting. Testing is not just a formality; it’s a critical measure to ensure your active fire protection system is fully operational when the Fire Brigade needs it most.

What I.S. 391:2020 Compliance Means for Your Business

The Irish Standard I.S. 391:2020 governs the installation, commissioning, maintenance, and testing of Fire Mains and Private Hydrants in Ireland. This standard requires that maintenance and testing be carried out by a competent person at least annually (with visual inspections every six months).

Our comprehensive testing service ensures:

Accurate Flow Rate Analysis: We accurately measure the maximum sustainable water flow rate (litres per second) the hydrant can deliver, ensuring it meets the requirements for firefighting operations on your site.
Static and Dynamic Pressure Checks: We log the water pressure to confirm it is within the functional range necessary for the Fire Brigade to connect and use the supply effectively.
Full Integrity Inspection: We inspect the hydrant pit, chamber, identification plates, and internal components (valves and glands) for damage, blockages, or leaks.

Verifying Readiness for Insurance and Safety

Neglected fire hydrants can suffer from low pressure, blockages, or failure of the internal valve, which can result in dangerous delays. By engaging our service, you gain:

Legal and Insurance Compliance: The detailed documentation and certification provided serves as essential proof for both regulatory bodies and your insurance provider that you are actively maintaining fire safety infrastructure.
Optimized Performance: We identify and report on any issues, allowing for immediate remedial action to ensure optimum performance.
Peace of Mind: You eliminate guesswork about the operability of a critical piece of fire fighting equipment.

Reliable Fire Hydrant testing starts with certified expertise.
