FAQ
A fire protection solution brings together all the material resources needed to prevent or control the outbreak of a fire: fire extinguishers (fluorine-free water, powder, CO₂), RIAs, dry columns, automatic extinguishing systems (inert gas), smoke extraction systems, fire doors and emergency lighting. This equipment is chosen according to the configuration of the site, the risks present and the applicable regulations (ERP, ICPE, tertiary sector, etc.).
Performance depends on rigorous periodic checks, carried out in accordance with APSAD rules and NF standards (in particular NF S61-919 for fire extinguishers). During these checks, technicians examine the general condition, pressure, expiry date, mechanical components, location and signage. A compliant and well-maintained installation guarantees maximum efficiency during a real intervention.
Preventive and corrective maintenance is essential to ensure equipment availability. SCUTUM offers APSAD-certified periodic monitoring, including functional checks, compliance checks, traceability of interventions and remote supervision of connected fire safety systems. These measures are part of a Maintenance in Operational Conditions (MCO) process that guarantees the long-term performance of the system.
SCUTUM green extinguishers use fluorine-free (PFAS-free) additives that are environmentally friendly and comply with the latest European requirements. These models offer the same extinguishing efficiency as traditional products while eliminating persistent pollutants. They are part of the SCUTUM Group's CSR and ISO 14001 approach, contributing to more responsible and sustainable fire safety.
