Mandatory inspection and flow testing of internal and external hydrants. BIATECH HT-04 equipment. A report compliant with the PN-EN 671 standard and State Fire Service guidance — required by insurers and supervisory authorities.
The inspection is carried out in line with the PN-EN 671 standard and the Regulation of the Minister of the Interior and Administration of 7 June 2010 on fire protection in buildings. The confirming document is required by building insurers and by the State Fire Service.
A visual inspection alone is not enough. The regulations require flow and pressure to be measured at the outlet, because a hydrant that looks fine may not deliver the required amount of water. We take these measurements in Warsaw and Mazovia at every inspection and record the results in the report.
Minimum flow rates under the Regulation of the Minister of the Interior and Administration of 7 June 2010: a type 25 hydrant 1.0 dm³/s, a type 33 hydrant 1.5 dm³/s and a type 52 hydrant 2.5 dm³/s. Pressure at the shut-off valve: from 0.2 to 1.2 MPa. We measure flow and pressure at the least favourably located hydrant.
Requirements under the Regulation of the Minister of the Interior and Administration of 24 July 2009 on fire-fighting water supply: a DN80 hydrant must deliver at least 10 dm³/s at a minimum pressure of 0.2 MPa. We carry out a flow test with static and dynamic pressure measurement.
The report contains the measured values for each hydrant, a comparison against the requirements of the standard, and recommendations where parameters fall below the threshold. This is the document the fire service accepts during an inspection and the insurer accepts when settling a claim.
Internal
Type 25 and 52 hydrants in public buildings, office buildings, production halls and warehouses.
External
Above-ground and underground hydrants on industrial sites, housing estates, car parks and industrial land.
Monitoring
We run regular inspections with reminders and archived reports. We work with housing associations, property managers and companies.
The obligation stems from the Fire Protection Act and applies to every property fitted with hydrants.
BIATECH HT-04 equipment
For pressure testing hydrant hoses we use professional BIATECH HT-04 equipment — the only equipment in Poland certified for pressure testing fire hoses in line with PN-EN 671.
We carry out inspections and flow measurements of internal and external hydrants across Warsaw and Mazovia, with a report compliant with fire safety regulations. Our hydrant inspections have included Chopin Airport, where the sanitary and technical requirements are among the most demanding in the country. We apply that same level of precision in every building.
Warsaw (all districts) and the surrounding area: Józefów, Otwock, Legionowo, Sulejówek, Marki, Ząbki, Wołomin, Pruszków and Piaseczno. We also cover the wider Mazovia region and the Łódź, Podlasie and Lublin provinces.
A hydrant inspection is an annual obligation for building owners and managers under fire safety regulations. We work with housing associations and co-operatives, companies, office buildings, industrial halls, hotels and public buildings. We issue the report required at an inspection.
Book a hydrant inspectionWe charge per unit, so you pay for exactly what you have in the building. The more hydrants at a single property, the lower the unit rate.

Indicative prices for Warsaw and the surrounding area. We will prepare an exact quote for your property free of charge once you tell us the number of hydrants, usually the same working day.
Request a free quoteInternal and external hydrants must be inspected at least once a year. In addition, the hoses of internal hydrants undergo a pressure test every 5 years. An inspection is also required after every use of a hydrant.
The obligation stems from the Fire Protection Act and from the Regulation of the Minister of the Interior and Administration of 7 June 2010 on fire protection in buildings. Inspections are carried out in line with the PN-EN 671-3 standard, and external hydrants additionally under the Regulation of the Minister of the Interior and Administration of 24 July 2009 on fire-fighting water supply.
We charge per unit: roughly from PLN 60 net for an internal hydrant, from PLN 90 net for an external one and from PLN 50 net for a hose pressure test. With more hydrants at a single property the unit rate falls. Quotes are free of charge.
During an inspection the State Fire Service can impose a fine and order that shortcomings be put right, and after a fire an insurer may refuse to pay out or reduce the settlement if the hydrants did not have a valid inspection. Responsibility rests with the owner or manager of the building.
An inspection report with the measured flow and pressure for every hydrant, photographic records, an entry in the building logbook and remedial recommendations if anything needs putting right. The document is recognised by the State Fire Service and by insurers.
In a typical office or residential building the inspection takes from a few hours to one working day, depending on the number of hydrants. We arrange a time that does not disrupt the running of the building, and where we work with you regularly we remind you about the next inspection before it falls due.
Tell us how many hydrants you have and we will prepare a quote and propose a date. We call back within 2 working hours. No obligation.
