Methodology
Primary sources, one link per number, a date on every row.
Where the data comes from
We read each company’s own pricing pages, documentation, status pages, filings and press releases, plus named industry reports. Every record lists its sources with the date we accessed them, and every number in the table links to the source it came from.
How we verify
Each row shows the date we last checked it. A field is filled only when a source states it; when a company does not publish a figure, the cell stays empty. List prices are the public, on-demand prices; negotiated and committed-use discounts are not shown.
How the Yes/No columns work
Halocarbon agent, Inert gas, Water mist, Preaction sprinkler, Aspirating detection, FM Approved and UL listed are marked only when the linked page says so. A dash means the page does not mention it. It does not mean the company cannot supply it, so ask. “FM Approved: No” appears once, for Stat-X, because the company itself states that no condensed aerosol system currently carries FM Approval.
Company type
Manufacturer, installer / service or both is our reading of how each company describes itself on the cited page. We leave it blank when the page does not settle it.
Agent availability
Agent names are as the company lists them on the access date. 3M, the original maker of Novec 1230, set the end of 2025 to stop making all fluorinated fluids and exit PFAS manufacturing, so 3M is not listed as a supplier. Legacy Novec 1230 installations show up where a company publishes one, marked as historical. Five companies that appear in trade coverage are not counted separately: Chemetron Fire Systems sits under KiddeFenwal, LPG under Johnson Controls, Danfoss Fire Safety under Siemens, Suppression Systems Inc. under Pye-Barker, and FirePro is left out until a current data center source is read.
Corrections
Vendors and readers can send corrections to hello@firesuppressioncompanies.com with a public source. We update the row and its verified date. Featured placement is paid and labelled; it never changes a row’s data or its position in the sorted table.
Reuse
The dataset is free to reuse under CC BY 4.0 with a link to firesuppressioncompanies.com. Download it as CSV or JSON.
Field definitions
54 fields- Company type
- Manufacturer (makes the suppression or detection hardware), installer / service (designs, installs and maintains systems built by others) or both. Our classification from how the company describes itself; blank where its pages do not settle it.
- Halocarbon agent
- Sells or installs a halocarbon clean-agent system on the cited page: HFC-227ea (FM-200), FK-5-1-12 (the fluoroketone formerly sold as Novec 1230) or a branded version of them. Empty means the cited page does not say, not that the company lacks it.
- Inert gas
- Sells or installs an inert-gas system (nitrogen, argon or blends such as IG-541 and IG-55) on the cited page. Empty means the cited page does not say, not that the company lacks it.
- Water mist
- Sells or installs water mist suppression for data halls on the cited page. Empty means the cited page does not say, not that the company lacks it.
- Preaction sprinkler
- Sells or installs preaction sprinkler systems (pipes stay dry until detection and a second trigger) on the cited page. Empty means the cited page does not say, not that the company lacks it.
- Aspirating detection
- Offers or installs aspirating (air-sampling) smoke detection such as VESDA, TITANUS or SecuriSmoke ASD on the cited page. Empty means the cited page does not say, not that the company lacks it.
- FM Approved
- The cited page states FM Approval for a data center system or product. False only where the company itself says none of its category carries it.
- UL listed
- The cited page states a UL listing for a product in the data center range. Empty means the cited page does not say, not that the company lacks it.
- Suppression technology
