Clean Agent System Inspections (NFPA 2001 – Louisiana)
Ensure your clean agent suppression system is fully compliant, mission-ready, and certified to protect critical equipment and high-value assets. Capitol City Fire Protection provides NFPA 2001–compliant clean agent system inspections for FM-200, NOVEC 1230, Inergen, CO₂, and other special hazard systems across Baton Rouge and surrounding parishes.
Our inspections include:
• Verifying cylinder pressure, weight, and hydrostatic test dates
• Inspecting discharge nozzles, piping, hangers, and enclosure integrity
• Testing detection devices, pull stations, abort switches, and control panels
• Confirming shutdowns, interlocks, relays, and HVAC interfaces
• Door fan integrity testing (where required)
• Reviewing system design, coverage, and as-built documentation
• Providing digital NFPA 2001 reports with deficiencies and corrective actions
Proper clean agent inspections ensure fast suppression, reduce downtime, protect sensitive equipment, and maintain compliance with the Louisiana Office of State Fire Marshal.

What’s Included in Our NFPA 2001 Clean Agent Inspection Detail Description
Our NFPA 2001–compliant clean agent inspections deliver a full, system-wide evaluation of your suppression equipment to ensure proper performance during a discharge event. We examine all detection devices, control components, cylinders, nozzles, piping, wiring, safety interfaces, and release circuits to verify that the system will function exactly as designed. Every inspection follows NFPA 2001, manufacturer specifications, and Louisiana Fire Marshal requirements to ensure reliability, compliance, and full system readiness.
Cylinder Pressure, Weight & Hydrostatic Testing Verification
Agent cylinders are checked for proper pressure, weight, and tamper integrity. We confirm hydrostatic test dates, ensure cylinders are correctly secured, and verify that agent quantities meet the original engineered design. Any loss of pressure or weight is documented immediately as a deficiency. This process ensures the system will discharge with the required flow rate and concentration needed to protect the hazard.
Detection, Control Panel & Release Circuit Testing
We test all detection devices—including smoke detectors, heat detectors, and specialty sensors—along with pull stations, abort switches, and manual release points. The fire alarm releasing panel is inspected for proper supervision, annunciation, and power. Release circuits are tested for correct sequence of operation to ensure the system activates only under the correct conditions. This eliminates false discharges and guarantees that releasing logic meets NFPA and manufacturer standards.
Room Integrity, Nozzle, and Piping System Inspection
Proper enclosure integrity is critical for holding agent concentration during a discharge. We inspect the room’s perimeter, penetrations, doors, and protected openings to verify they are sealed. Nozzles are checked for alignment, obstruction clearance, and correct orientation. Piping is inspected for support, corrosion, leaks, and damage. Where required, we provide or coordinate door fan integrity testing to ensure the space meets NFPA 2001 retention requirements.
HVAC Interlocks, Shutdowns & System Interface Testing
We test all connected equipment—HVAC shutdowns, dampers, power drop circuits, door closers, and equipment interlocks—to confirm they activate correctly during a discharge event. These safety functions are essential for preventing agent loss, equipment damage, or re-ignition. Proper interface testing ensures all controlled equipment reacts in the correct sequence for a safe and effective release.
Clean Agent System Documentation & Compliance Reporting
After the inspection, you receive a detailed NFPA 2001 inspection report with device lists, pressure readings, timestamps, photos, identified deficiencies, code references, and recommendations. We maintain accurate service records for Louisiana Fire Marshal audits and insurance requirements. This documentation ensures transparency, compliance, and a clear roadmap for corrective action when needed.
Why Annual Clean Agent Inspections Are Required in Louisiana
Clean agent systems protect high-value assets, electronics, and mission-critical equipment. NFPA 2001 and Louisiana law require annual inspections to verify correct agent concentration, room integrity, detection functionality, and discharge readiness. Regular inspections prevent costly downtime, ensure occupant safety, and maintain the engineered performance needed during an emergency.
Facilities We Protect With Clean Agent Suppression Systems
We provide clean agent inspections for server rooms, data centers, electrical rooms, UPS spaces, telecom facilities, medical equipment rooms, industrial control rooms, archives, commercial buildings, and other sensitive or mission-critical environments. Our services keep Baton Rouge facilities compliant, protected, and fully documented year-round.
