If I understood correctly, the BMW CCA is now requiring the recertification of fire suppression systems. I don't know much about them, other than having a buddy with a race shop install an S/P/A Firesense for me a few years ago.
Whats the procedure for this?
Certain shops can refill them. If you have to ship it is very expensive. The closest shop to you that does it that I've found is Stable Energies in NJ. I also need to get my SPA AFFF system refilled, so I've had to figure out the same thing.
You ask about both recertification and recharging. Recharging AFFF is dead simple -- basically you take the bottle out, rinse it, refill with concentrate foam and water, then replace the burst disc and CO2 cartridge. 20-30 minutes should do the job easily. It's simple enough you can bring the recharge kit with you and do it at the track if necessary.
Recertification I have no idea, but it probably involves paying someone at a race shop with a certificate to do the same thing, along with inspecting everything.
