Halogenated Agent Extinguishing System Units
Scope:
These requirements cover the construction and operation of halogenated agent fire extinguishing system units intended to be installed, inspected, tested, and maintained in accordance with the Standard for Halon 1301 Fire Extinguishing Systems, NFPA 12A and with the Standard for Halon 1211 Fire Extinguishing Systems, NFPA 12B.
These requirements also cover halogenated automatic extinguisher units that do not have a manual means of operation, and are intended to be used in accordance with the manufacturer's installation instructions. Automatic extinguisher units are not intended:
a) For use as a general substitute for preengineered or engineered halon extinguishing system units; or
b) For protection of fire risks larger than those specified in the manufacturer's instructions for a single unit by using multiple units.
