System maintenance
automatic gas extinguishing systems (IEAG)
An automatic gas extinguishing system is a fixed system that detects and inhibits the outbreak of a fire at an early stage, using neutral or inhibiting gases. These systems are recommended for the protection of strategic company premises, particularly those containing valuable equipment, or those which could jeopardize operations in the event of downtime. Maintenance and periodic inspections of these systems are mandatory to ensure their longevity and proper operation.
