NFPA 96 Compliance: What Every Restaurant Owner Needs to Know
Fire Suppression
A plain-language breakdown of the standard, what inspectors look for, and how to ensure your kitchen stays compliant year-round.
Kitchen fire suppression systems must meet UL-300 standards and integrate with your hood, gas shutoffs, and inspection schedule. A compliant system is not optional — it is a condition of operating a commercial kitchen in Colorado.
In our work with restaurant owners and facility managers across Denver, Boulder, Fort Collins, and the broader Front Range, questions about nfpa 96 compliance: what every restaurant owner needs to know come up on nearly every project. Planning ahead — and understanding what inspectors and engineers will look for — saves time and avoids change orders after construction is underway.
