Is Your Ansul System Compliant? Understanding the Ansul Interlock Requirements
In 2025, Johnson Controls updated their specifications to require interlock functionality on their Ansul Kitchen Fire Suppression systems.
This means that when an Ansul system activates during a fire, it must now automatically: shut down the fuel supply to cooking appliances, isolate electrical cooking equipment, stop the ventilation canopy air supply, and allow extraction systems to continue operating where applicable.
These changes are now required to comply with:
- UL300
- LPS 1223
- BS EN 16282-7 standards
