Fixed firefighting systems - Condensed aerosol extinguishing systems - Part 2: Design, installation and maintenance

This document specifies requirements and describes the methods for the design, installation, testing, maintenance and safety of condensed aerosol extinguishing systems and the characteristics of the extinguishant media and types of fire for which it is a suitable extinguishing medium. This document also covers the use of condensed aerosol extinguishing systems for total flooding applications in normally unoccupied and unoccupiable areas, primarily related to buildings, plant and other specific applications, utilising electrically non-conducting aerosol fire extinguishants and for which there are sufficient data available to enable validation of performance characteristics by an appropriate independent authority. This document is intended as a standard covering solely condensed aerosol. This document is not applicable to explosion suppression applications. This document is not intended to indicate approval of the extinguishants listed herein by the appropriate authorities, as other extinguishants may be equally acceptable. This document is applicable to the extinguishants which fulfil CEN/TR 15276-1.
