Information on referenced publications can be found in Chapter 2and Annex E Chapter 1 Administration 1.1 Scope. This standard contains minimum requirements for total flooding and local application clean agent fire extin- uishing systems, It docs not cover fire extinguishing systems ‘hat use carbon dioxide or water as the primaty extinguishing. ‘media, which are addressed by other NFPA documents 1.2 Purpose, 1.2.1 ‘The agents in this standard were introduced in re- sponse to intermational restrictions on the production of cer- tain halon fire extinguishing agents under the Montreal Pro- tocol signed September 16, 1987, as amended. This standard is prepared for the use by and guidance of those charged with purehiasing, designing, installing, testing, inspecting, approx ing, listing, operating, and maintaining engineered of pre engineered clean agent extinguishing systems, so that stich equipment will function as intended throughout its life. Noth- ingin this standard is intended to restrict new technologies oF alternative arrangements provided the level of safety pre- scribed by this standard is tot lowered, 1.2.2. No standard can be promulgated that will provide all the necessury criteria for the implementation of a total flooding BD sora cation clean agent fire extinguishing system. Technology in this area is tunder constant development, and this will be reflected in reve sions to this standard, The user of this standard must recognize the complexity of elean agent fire extinguishing systems. There- fore, the designer is cautioned that the standard i not design handbook. The standard does not do away with the need for the cengincer or for competent engineering judgment. eis intended. that a designer capable of applying a more complete and rigor- fous analysis to special or unusual problems shal have latitude the development of such designs. In such cases, the designer is responsible for demonstrating the validity of the approach, 1.3 Units, Metiic unis of measurement in this standard are in aceordance with the modlernized metric system known asthe It- femational stem of Units (SD. Two units outside of but recog- nized by’St liter and br) are commonly used in international fire protection, The SI units and their conversion factors are listed in Table 13. Ifa value for measurement as given in this standard is followed by an equivalent vale in other units the firs stated is to he regarded as the requirement. A given equivalent ‘ale could be approximate “Table 1.3 Metric Conversion Factors Unie Name of Unit Symbol Conversion Factor millimeter ‘mm Lin, liter Ll gal cubic meter mk kilogram kg 1 Kilograms per cubic meter kg/m" 1 1b/ft pascal Pa 1 pei = 6908 bar bar 1 psi = 0.0689 har bar bar 1 bar= 10° Pa Note (1) Foradditonal conversions and information, see ASTM SL. (2) ln Canada, refer to CAN/CSAZ294.1 1.4 General Information. 14.1% Applicability of Agents, 14.1.1 The fire extinguishing agents addressed in this stan- dard shall be electrically nonconducting and leave no residue ‘upon evaporation, 1.4.1.2" Agents that meet the eriteria of 14.1.1 shall be shown Table 1.1.2, 1.4.1.8. The design, installation, service, and maintenance of clean agent systems shall be performed by those skilled in clean agent fire extinguishing system technology 1.4.2° Use and Limitations 1.4.2.1 All pre-engineered systems shall be installed to pro- tect hazards within the limitations that have been established by the listing. Pre-engincered systems shall be listed to one of the following types (1) Those consisting of sstem components designed! to be in- stalled according to presested limitations bya testing labor tory: These preengincered systems shal be permitted t0in- corporate special nozzles, low rates, methods of application, nozzle placement, and pressurization levels that could ler from those detailed clewhere in this standard, Al other re- quirements of the standard shall apply
