Title
Standard on Halon 1301 Fire Extinguishing Systems
National Fire Protection Association
Publication Date:
Jan 1, 2009
Scope:
This standard contains minimum requirements for total flooding
Halon 1301 fire extinguishing systems. It includes only the
essentials necessary to make the standard workable in the hands of
those skilled in this field. Only those skilled in this work are
competent to design, install, maintain, decommission, and remove
this equipment. It might be necessary for many of those charged
with purchasing, inspecting, testing, approving, operating, and
maintaining this equipment to consult with an experienced and
competent fire protection engineer to effectively discharge their
respective duties. (See Annex C.)
Purpose. This standard is prepared for the use
and guidance of those charged with purchasing, designing,
installing, testing, inspecting, approving, listing, operating,
maintaining, decommissioning, and removing halogenated agent
extinguishing systems (Halon 1301), so that such equipment will
function as intended throughout its life. Nothing in this standard
is intended to restrict new technologies or alternate arrangements
provided the level of safety prescribed by this standard is not
lowered.
Pre-engineered systems (packaged systems) consist of system
components designed to be installed according to pretested
limitations as approved or listed by a testing laboratory.
Pre-engineered systems sometimes incorporate special nozzles, flow
rates, methods of application, nozzle placement, and pressurization
levels that sometimes differ from those detailed elsewhere in this
standard. All other requirements of the standard shall apply.
Pre-engineered systems shall be installed to protect hazards within
the limitations that have been established by the testing
laboratories where listed.
