Have you granted your local Fire Department access to your Ammonia Machinery Room on a 24/7/365 basis?

Access to refrigeration systems having a refrigerant circuit containing more than 220 pounds (100 kg) of Group A1 or 30 pounds (14 kg) of any other group refrigerant shall be provided for the fire department at all times as required by the fire code official.
