Expertise: Our trained technicians bring specialised knowledge and skills crucial for the correct installation of AST’s fire extinguishing and detection systems. Their expertise guarantees installations that adhere to Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) design specifications and industry best practices.
Warranty Compliance: AST, mandates that installations, commissioning and service maintenance be conducted solely by certified fire technicians to maintain warranty coverage. Opting for certified professionals safeguards your investment, providing a safety net in case of equipment malfunction.
Insurance Requirements: Certain insurance policies stipulate installations by certified technicians. Choosing certified professionals ensures compliance with insurance requirements, mitigating the risk of coverage being repudiated during a claim.
- Importance of Proper Inspection and Refilling:
As the first company to get a get-up trademark on their its IG55 fire extinguishing cylinders in South Africa, AST stresses that beyond installation, the proper inspection and refilling of Pyroshield® bottles are equally crucial. We highly recommend to our clients, and systems end-users to entrust this task to AST-trained technicians to mitigate potential risks associated with incorrect procedures.
Impersonation Warning: It has come to our attention that certain unscrupulous companies may attempt to impersonate AST. We strongly caution our clients against such impersonation attempts and emphasise the importance of verifying the credentials of any company claiming to represent AST.
Cylinders Filling Protocol: For optimal safety and performance, AST recommends that cylinders be filled only by an AST-trained fire technician or by AST themselves. This ensures that the stringent quality and safety standards are maintained throughout the entire process.
