Custom software for the inspection file of fixed fire extinguishing systems
Appfront builds software for owners, managers and maintenance companies of sprinkler, gas extinguishing and other fixed fire suppression systems. Every installation is recorded with its inspection certificate and validity, the inspections, the maintenance and the checks the user carries out themselves. Findings from an inspection are followed up until they are resolved, and a signal is raised well before a certificate expires. This way the file is ready for the inspector and for the competent authority.
What is software for the inspection file of fixed fire suppression systems?
Sprinkler systems and other fixed fire suppression systems, such as gas extinguishing and water mist systems, must work when it matters. That is why they are maintained, checked by the user and inspected periodically. The Building Decree for the Living Environment (Besluit bouwwerken leefomgeving) requires an inspection certificate in a number of cases, issued by an inspection body in line with the CCV inspection scheme. Standards such as NEN-EN 12845 and NEN 1073 apply to design and maintenance.
In practice the file is scattered: the certificate sits with the inspection body, the maintenance report with the service company, and the user checks in a logbook next to the pump. A finding from an inspection is not followed up. A shutdown for work is not recorded. And if you manage several buildings, you cannot see at a glance which certificate is about to expire.
We build custom solutions because every organisation differs: which installations you have, how many buildings, who maintains and who inspects, and which systems you use. Which requirements apply to your installations follows from the legislation, the standards and your agreements with your inspection body and the competent authority; if in doubt, check with them. The software ensures the file is complete and correct.
Certificate at a glance
Every installation with its inspection certificate and validity, and an alert well before it expires.
Checks recorded
Maintenance, user checks and shutdowns recorded, with a checklist on your phone.
Findings followed up
Every finding with an owner and deadline, until it is resolved.
How we build your software for the inspection file of fixed fire suppression systems
We start with your installations: which types, in how many buildings, who maintains them, who inspects them, and where the file currently sits. User checks are often the weakest part, as they are done on paper next to the installation. We make them so simple that they are quicker on your phone than in the logbook.
Your installations, buildings, maintenance, inspections and systems.
Certificates, documents, inspections and maintenance.
User checks, shutdowns and follow-up.
Alerts, an overview per portfolio, and then management.
What software for the inspection file of fixed fire suppression systems does in practice
The components below appear in almost every fire suppression file. Which ones you need depends on your installations.
Installations
Per building, with type and documents.
Certificate
With validity and alerts.
Your own checks
Checklist on your phone.
Shutdowns
With reason and duration.
Findings
With owner and deadline.
Overview
Per building and portfolio.
Who we build software for the inspection file of fixed fire suppression systems

Why choose Appfront for your software for the inspection file of fixed fire suppression systems?
A fire suppression system that does not work, or a certificate that has expired, is noticed at the worst possible moment. That is what we build around: certificate at a glance, checks recorded, and findings followed up.
Nothing expires
Warnings well in advance.
Checks completed
Faster than the paper logbook.
Ready for inspection
The file is complete.
Security and privacy in software for the inspection file of fixed fire suppression systems
The software holds confidential data on buildings, installations and their condition. Access is set by role and by building, and a service company sees only its own installations.
The software runs in a European data centre, with encrypted storage, daily back-ups and sign-in with a second factor. User checks also work without signal in a pump room.
Frequently asked questions about software for fire suppression system inspection records
Questions that facility managers and maintenance companies ask before getting started.
It tracks, for each installation, the inspection certificate with its validity, inspections, maintenance, user checks and shutdowns. It follows up findings until they are resolved, flags expiring certificates and missed checks, and gives an overview per building and per portfolio.
The Building Works in the Living Environment Decree (Besluit bouwwerken leefomgeving) requires an inspection certificate in a number of cases, issued in line with the CCV inspection scheme. Whether this applies to your installation should be confirmed with your inspection body or the competent authority.
That follows from the standards, the inspection scheme and the agreements for your installation. You set the frequencies, and the software makes sure nothing is skipped and alerts you if a check is missed.
The person carrying out the check opens the checklist for the installation, for example by scanning a code at the pump, and ticks off each item, adding a photo where needed. Any deviations are reported immediately.
Because a shut-down installation is a risk. Recording the reason, the duration and who carried it out shows when the installation was switched back on and how long the building was without protection. What you need to report on a shutdown follows from your agreements.
Yes, if you wish. They are given access to their own installations and can add reports and findings, so everything sits in one place.
Check that first. Some maintenance systems track installations and inspections, and that may be sufficient. Custom development makes sense if user checks are currently done on paper, if findings are not followed up, or if you want many buildings in a single overview.
