Certified, world-class protection
Trusted by the world’s largest restaurant operators, the R-102 has consistently proven its rapid-response reliability in real-world scenarios to perform effectively when needed most. Combined with the power of a global distribution and support network, ANSUL R-102 is simply the only name to know in restaurant fire suppression, protecting:
- Cooking equipment such as fryers, griddles, range tops, broilers, char-broilers and woks
- Areas associated with ventilating equipment, including hoods, ducts, plenums and filters

BSI Certified to the EN 17446 standard
Not all restaurant fire suppression systems are created equal, nor are they tested to the same standards. The EN 17446 standard defines stringent criteria for fire suppression in Europe, encompassing a wide range of safety measures designed to protect both life and property.
To receive the EN 17446 certification, R-102 underwent a unified, multiple-phase process in which its fire-suppressing technology was tested on numerous grease-vapour-producing appliances – adding to its already impressive list of top industry recognitions for safety and compliance.
