Cleaning Certificate (Hood Sticker)
A dated sticker applied directly to the hood showing date of service, technician name, certification number, and next service date. This is what inspectors check first.
Written Service Report
Full documentation: establishment name and address, all components cleaned, grease depth measurements before and after, access panels used, technician certification details, and copy provided to the operator.
Grease Level Documentation
Grease levels measured and recorded at key inspection points before and after service. Shows the inspector the system was cleaned from a measurable starting condition.
Next Service Date
The required next service date based on your NFPA 96 cleaning schedule is documented on both the certificate and the written report, so you know when service is due and can plan accordingly.
Who Accepts Our Compliance Documentation in Huntsville
What does an NFPA 96 compliance certificate include?
A compliant hood cleaning certificate includes the date of service, technician name and certification number, the address and name of the establishment, all components cleaned, grease level documentation before and after service, access panels used, and the date the next service is due. The certificate is affixed directly to the hood where it is visible to inspectors.
What do Huntsville Fire & Rescue inspectors look for?
Inspectors typically check for a current cleaning certificate visible on the hood, the date of last service relative to the required cleaning frequency for your kitchen type, and the overall condition of the exhaust system. They may also request the written service report if the certificate is not immediately visible or if the system shows signs of heavy grease accumulation.
Do I need to keep cleaning records on file?
Yes. NFPA 96 and most insurance policies require that cleaning records be retained and available for inspection. We provide a written service report at each cleaning that you keep on file. Combined with the certificate on the hood, this gives you a complete compliance record.
Can I use your compliance reports for insurance purposes?
Yes. Our written service reports document technician CHDCA certification, the full scope of work performed, and grease levels before and after service. This is the documentation that insurance carriers typically require when verifying that a grease fire loss occurred despite a properly maintained exhaust system.
What if I have not had my hood cleaned in over a year?
Call us. We can assess the system, perform a cleaning, and provide current documentation. An overdue cleaning does not disqualify you from getting compliant going forward. It does mean the cleaning will likely take longer and cost more than a regularly maintained system, but it restores your compliance standing.
