NFPA enclosure integrity testing is a specialized type of testing that typically measures the tightness of rooms within buildings ( though testing entire buildings require testing on occasion ) that are protected by clean agent fire suppression systems.

NFPA is responsible for 300 codes and standards that are designed to minimize the risk and effects of fire by establishing criteria for building, processing, design, service, and installation in the United States, as well as many other countries.
