characteristics of the various extinguishants and types of fire for which they are a suitable extinguishing
medium.
This document describes total flooding systems primarily related to buildings, plants and other specific
applications, utilizing electrically non-conducting gaseous fire extinguishants that do not leave a residue
after discharge and for which there are sufficient data currently available to enable validation of
performance and safety characteristics by an appropriate independent authority. This document is not
applicable to explosion suppression.
This document is not intended to indicate approval of the extinguishants listed therein by the appropriate
authorities, as other extinguishants may be equally acceptable. CO2 is not included as it is covered by its
own European standard.
