Where each walk sits in the schedule
- Clean agent fire suppression quarterly maintenance checklistquarterly
- Every quarter, and after any work in the protected room, since a propped door or a new cable penetration quietly breaks the room's ability to hold agent. Run by: The facilities or IT infrastructure person walking the server and electrical rooms each quarter, tagging the container bank and panel.
- Clean agent fire suppression annual maintenance checklistannual
- On the contractor's annual cycle, the pass that weighs or pressure-checks containers and re-proves the room will actually hold agent after a year of changes. Run by: The licensed suppression contractor performs the annual service and room integrity (fan) test; facilities and IT walk it, observe and record.
What most often fails on a clean agent fire suppression
- Container weight or pressure drifting and nobody reading the tag because the panel shows no trouble.
- A cable tray penetration cut into the wall and left unsealed, so the room won't hold concentration long enough to work.
- Door closer disconnected or a door propped for airflow, defeating the room integrity the system depends on.
- Room integrity test passed a year ago and never re-run after new cabinets and cable trays changed the leakage, so hold time is now unknown.
- Containers checked but the abort and release sequence never walked through with the contractor, so the site can't say how it behaves on a real alarm.
Verified against
Families only, never clause numbers. Adoption varies by jurisdiction; confirm the edition your authority having jurisdiction enforces before you run a walk against it.
