Kitchen Hood Suppression Inspection FAQs for Oklahoma City Restaurants

Do restaurants need kitchen hood suppression inspections? Yes. NFPA 96 requires semi-annual inspection and testing of kitchen hood suppression systems for all commercial cooking operations. Oklahoma enforces this through the State Fire Marshal, local fire marshals, and health departments.

How often does a kitchen hood suppression system need to be inspected? Every 6 months. NFPA 96 requires semi-annual inspection, and fusible links are typically replaced at each service. Oklahoma enforces this interval for all commercial kitchens.

Do you recharge kitchen suppression systems? No. We inspect and test the system to NFPA 96 and document any deficiencies. Recharging and repairs are performed by a licensed suppression contractor. We can recommend qualified contractors if needed.

What happens if I miss a semi-annual inspection? Your system is out of compliance and a health department or fire marshal visit can result in a shutdown, fine, or citation. Schedule inspections before they're due to avoid this.
