Risk

What happens when fire protection system fails?

Every second counts. A deficient system can trigger irreversible consequences for your company.

Human and reputational risk

Beyond material losses, the safety of personnel and the reputation of the company are at stake.

Total loss of facilities and assets

An uncontrolled fire can destroy infrastructure, machinery, inventory, and critical documentation in a matter of minutes.

Closures and penalties

Noncompliance with regulations can lead to fines and temporary or permanent closures by the competent authorities.

Loss of insurance coverage

If the system does not meet the required standards, the insurer may deny payment in the event of a loss.

Protection is not an expense; it is a necessity.

Information and recommendations

What to check in your system

  • Importance of preventive maintenance

    Periodic maintenance ensures the proper operation of fire protection systems and reduces operational risks. NFPA 25 establishes periodic inspections and tests: a pump that is not tested as often as the standard requires may not start when it is needed.

  • Compliance with safety regulations

    Following established standards helps protect facilities and meet legal requirements. NOM-002-STPS-2010 sets out the fire prevention and protection requirements for workplaces.

  • Your insurer checks too

    It is best to have the system designed, installed, and maintained in accordance with the standards so you do not put your insurance coverage at risk.

Frequently asked questions

For workplaces, NOM-002-STPS-2010 (the Official Mexican Standard issued by the STPS, Mexico's Ministry of Labor and Social Welfare) sets the fire prevention and protection requirements. The design and installation of fixed systems use NFPA standards: 13 for sprinklers; 14 for standpipe and hose systems; 20 for fire pumps; 22 for water tanks; 25 for inspection, testing, and maintenance; 72 for fire detection and alarm; 96 for industrial kitchens; 11 for foam; and 2001 for clean agents. At CAAF de México, we design and install in accordance with NFPA and FM Global requirements and STPS regulations.

Yes. CAAF de México is registered in the REPSE (Registro de Prestadoras de Servicios Especializados u Obras Especializadas, the registry of providers of specialized services or specialized works) with the Secretaría del Trabajo y Previsión Social (Mexico's Ministry of Labor and Social Welfare), registration number AR210703/2026. The Ley Federal del Trabajo (Federal Labor Law) requires this registration to provide specialized services or specialized works.

It depends on the system and on each component. For water-based systems, NFPA 25 sets inspection, testing, and maintenance frequencies that range from weekly to every five years, depending on the component. Fire detection and alarm systems are governed by NFPA 72, and industrial kitchen fire suppression systems are inspected at least every six months in accordance with NFPA 96.

Drawings or sketches of the property, the use of each area, whether a system is already installed, and whether there are requirements from your insurer or from Protección Civil (the civil protection authority). If you don't have all of that information, write to us with what you have.
