Introduction
Fire safety is a top priority for every facility in the UAE, especially where sensitive equipment, valuable assets, and critical operations must remain safe. Clean Agent & FM-200 Fire Suppression Systems have become one of the most trusted solutions for businesses, data centers, hospitals, offices, and industrial sites.
This guide explains how FM-200 systems work, why they’re trusted across UAE facilities, their cost, installation process, and how Tiger Fire UAE helps businesses stay compliant with Civil Defense-approved fire safety standards.
What is a Clean Agent & FM-200 Fire Suppression System?
The FM-200 fire suppression system is a clean agent system that uses HFC-227ea gas to extinguish fires quickly without leaving residue. Unlike water-based systems, FM-200 is safe for electronics, making it ideal for data centers, server rooms, and industrial control systems.
Key benefits include:
- No water damage to sensitive equipment
- Quick fire suppression within 10 seconds
- Environmentally safe and non-conductive
- Approved by UAE Civil Defense for commercial and industrial use

With rapid fire suppression and no clean-up required, FM-200 is one of the most efficient fire protection systems in the UAE.
