Atlanta-area commercial kitchens are inspected against NFPA 17A and NFPA 96 on a roughly six-month cycle. Fire marshals look for a current wet-chemical tag on the hood system. A hood-cleaning certificate documents grease removal from ducts and fans; it does not replace the suppression inspection.
Georgia does not use Texas-style ECR numbers. Work of this type is typically performed by licensed fire-protection contractors, and the local AHJ — Atlanta Fire Rescue or the metro fire department that covers the kitchen (Cobb, Gwinnett, DeKalb, Fulton, and others) — enforces the tag on site. Confirm any license a company publishes with the issuing board. HoodInspect only shows numbers companies actually published.
Atlanta listings include shops that service Ansul and Range Guard wet-chemical systems, among other factory-authorized brands named on each company page. If you cannot read the cylinder nameplate, photograph it and send it to the inspector before they roll a truck.
