1. Who is Authorized to Maintain Sprinkler Systems?
In fire protection, a clear division of responsibilities is crucial for liability and operational safety. While weekly or monthly operator checks (often performed by a trained sprinkler warden) involve simple visual checks, professional maintenance requires in-depth technical expertise.
Maintenance, typically carried out in accordance with VdS 2091, must only be performed by VdS-approved installer companies or certified technicians for water extinguishing systems. These specialists inspect mechanical, hydraulic, and electrical components thoroughly to avoid compromising the system's certification.
