ONTARIO FIRE CODE SECTION 2.6 - SERVICE EQUIPMENT
2.6.1.13.
Commercial cooking equipment exhaust and fire protection systems shall be maintained in conformance with NFPA 96, “Standard for Ventilation Control and Fire Protection of Commercial Cooking Operations”.
Wet and dry kitchen suppression systems shall be inspected semi-annually by the terms of the Ontario Fire Code and NFPA 17, 17A and 96. Fusible links must be changed annually or more frequently if mandated by the manufacturer. It is imperative to ensure the cooking appliances’ fuel sources are properly interrupted upon activation of the fire suppression system. Therefore, testing does mean that a shutdown of the cooking equipment is required. Inspection reports must be kept by the owner/manager for examination by the insuring agent and/or the authority having jurisdiction.
