Life-saving technologies are being developed every day, but more attention is being paid to technologies designed to prevent risks that could threaten human health. Some of the most popular are fire protection technologies. Since this problem is global and no organization or person's life is 100% insured, more and more international standards are being developed every day to address this problem. Today we will introduce you to the most requested documents in this industry.
Fixed fire-fighting systems - Gas fire-extinguishing systems - Part 2: FK-5-1-12 Physical characteristics and system design of fire-extinguishing gas fire-extinguishing systems (ISO 14520-5:2019, modified)
EN 15004-2:2020
To protect private residences and office buildings, numerous regulations are being developed to manage fire safety systems. One such international standard is EN 15004-2: 2020.
This document specifies the requirements for the FK-5-1-12 extinguishing agent for gaseous fire extinguishing systems. It includes details on physical characteristics, specifications, usage and safety. This document only covers systems operating with nitrogen propellant at nominal pressures of 25 bar, 34.5 bar, 42 bar and 50 bar. This does not preclude the use of other systems.
Since this document contains a large number of highly specialized technical parameters as well as narrow systems, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with them in more detail before purchasing this standard.
Fixed fire-fighting systems - Gas fire-extinguishing systems - Part 4: Physical characteristics and system design of HFC 125 extinguishing agent gas fire-extinguishing systems (ISO 14520-8:2019, modified)
EN 15004-4:2020
At first glance, a standard may appear to contain unified concepts and categories, but it should be noted that each of its parts can describe completely different technologies and systems. One of the most important parts of the above mentioned standards is EN 15004-4: 2020.
This document specifies the requirements for HFC 125 extinguishing agent for gaseous fire extinguishing systems. It includes details on physical characteristics, specifications, usage and safety. This document applies to systems operating at nominal pressures of 25 bar and 42 bar and overpressured with nitrogen. This does not preclude the use of other systems.
As this part of the standard has a certain amount of clarifications and amendments, we recommend checking its recommendations against your organization's technical base.
Fixed fire-fighting systems - Gas fire-extinguishing systems - Part 5: Physical characteristics and system design of HFC 227ea fire-extinguishing agent gas fire-extinguishing systems (ISO 14520-9:2019, modified)
EN 15004-5:2020
A fire protection system is a rather complex concept and when considering it in more detail it is necessary to pay attention to the parameters and characteristics specified in international standards such as EN 15004-5:2020.
This document contains specific requirements for HFC 227ea extinguishing agent for gas fire extinguishing systems. It includes details on physical characteristics, specifications, usage and safety.
This document covers systems operating with nitrogen propellant at nominal pressures of 25 bar, 42 bar and 50 bar. This does not preclude the use of other systems.
If you are interested in protecting yourself or your organization from a possible fire, we recommend that you provide this standard and follow the rules it states.
