Commercial kitchens carry a strict suppression schedule.

Kitchen hood fire suppression systems require inspection roughly every six months by a qualified contractor, and the certificate is what the fire marshal and your insurer want to see. Across multiple kitchens or locations, those semi-annual dates are easy to miss. Inspection Logging keeps every system on schedule and its certificates on hand.

Built around NFPA 96 & NFPA 17A

NFPA 96 (commercial cooking operations) and NFPA 17A (wet chemical extinguishing systems) call for kitchen hood fire suppression systems to be inspected approximately every six months by a qualified person. Inspection Logging tracks each system's semi-annual due date, reminds you ahead of time, and stores the contractor's certificate on the system's record.

Semi-annual reminders

Set each system's six-month inspection interval and get reminders before each is due — with overdue alerts the moment one slips.

Contractor certificates on file

Upload the inspection certificate from your suppression contractor to each system's record, so the documentation is always a click away.

Proof on demand

Generate an audit-ready PDF of each system's inspection history per location or across your locations whenever the fire marshal or insurer asks.

How it works

Step 01

Add your locations and hood suppression systems

Create each site and register every hood suppression system you're responsible for. Bulk-add dozens at once and assign each one its inspection interval.

Step 02

Inspect from a phone, tablet, or laptop

Your team runs the checklist on any device — pass/fail, notes, photos. When a third party services a hood suppression system, upload the certificate. When something fails, open a repair right from the record.

Step 03

Pull the report whenever you need it

Audit-ready PDFs per location or across the whole organization, ready to hand to an inspector the moment they ask. CSV and custom exports too.

See exactly where you stand

The dashboard shows what's current, what's due soon, and what's overdue across every site — updated the moment an inspection is completed, so nothing slips between audits.

Every record on the asset itself

Each hood suppression system keeps a permanent record: inspection history, service certificates, open repairs, and a printable QR label. Scan it in the field to pull up the full story instantly.
