Compliance

Designed to Flow, Certified to Protect

We prepare the certification alongside the design, not after it. That is what lets a system pass first time.

The Standards & Certifications

Commercial and industrial

Fixed firefighting systems, automatic sprinkler systems. Governs hazard classification, design density, water supply duration and installation.

Residential and domestic

Fire sprinkler systems for domestic and residential occupancies. Covers category classification, coverage areas and supply requirements.

Ireland — statutory

Technical Guidance Document B, 2024 (Fire Safety). Sets the guidance against which fire safety design is assessed for building control in Ireland.

Most projects appoint three firms. Each one certifies its own scope, and the gaps between them belong to nobody.

Requirement	USING MULTIPLE SUB-CONTRACTORS	USING EL3MENT
Water Flow Guarantee	Split between the civil and mechanical contractors	Held under a single contract
Hydraulic Calculations	Third-party consultant verification required	Calculated and signed off in-house
Design Certification	Issued after the fact, against someone else's design	Planned from the first design decision
Professional Indemnity	Multiple policies with overlapping gaps	One point of responsibility

Every project closes with the same documentation set, assembled as the work proceeds rather than reconstructed at hand-over.

A signed design certificate stating the standard, the hazard class and the design density the system is engineered to.

Full calculations for the most hydraulically remote area, with pipe sizing, friction losses and the resulting pressure at the head.

Recorded mains test results, or pump and tank specifications, evidencing that the supply meets the design duration.

Drawings and technical justification in the format the assessing authority expects, prepared for submission.

Flow and pressure tests at commissioning, recorded against the design figures rather than against a generic checklist.

One file containing the certification, calculations, as-installed drawings and the maintenance schedule.

The earlier we test the water supply and specifications, the fewer changes the certification forces later.
