ISO 15779 Condensed Aerosol Fire Suppression Systems - Requirements and Test Methods for Components and System Design, Installation and Maintenance

Developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the ISO 15779 standard specifies requirements and test methods for components and provides recommendations for the design, installation, testing, maintenance and safety of condensed aerosol fire suppression systems in buildings, facilities or other structures, as well as fire extinguisher specifications and fire types. .

It covers total flood systems primarily related to buildings, facilities and other special applications where electrically non-conductive condensed aerosol fire extinguishers are used for which there is sufficient data currently available to enable verification of performance characteristics by an appropriate independent authority.

Local applications of condensed aerosol extinguishing systems are not covered by this International Standard. Any local application requires a pre-engineered and pre-engineered system that has been tested and approved for a particular application by a relevant authority.

The firefighting systems covered in this International Standard are designed to provide a concentrated aerosol extinguishing medium for fire suppression. In recent years, several different methods have been developed for the supply and application of condensed aerosol extinguisher to the required discharge point for fire extinguishing and have contributed to the dissemination of information about the installed system and methods.
are needed. This International Standard has been prepared to meet this need.

The requirements of this International Standard have been made in the light of the best known technical data by the working group at the time of writing, but since it covers a wide area, every possible factor or condition that may affect its application should be taken into account.
It is not practical to take.

In the preparation of this International Standard it has been assumed that the application of its provisions is entrusted to persons with the appropriate qualifications and experience in the specification, design, installation, testing, approval, inspection, operation and maintenance of systems and equipment. prepared and who can be expected to exercise caution to avoid unnecessary release of extinguisher.

It is important to consider the fire protection of a building or facility as a whole. Condensed aerosol extinguishing systems are an important part of existing installations, but only a part, but it should not be assumed that their adoption necessarily eliminates the need to consider additional measures, such as the provision of portable fire extinguishers or other mobile devices.

Condensed aerosol extinguishers have for many years been an accepted effective medium for extinguishing flammable liquid fires and fires in the presence of electrical and ordinary Class A hazards, but in planning comprehensive plans it should be noted that these environments may be unsuitable or there may be hazards requiring special precautions in their use in certain situations. .

It is important to carefully maintain firefighting equipment to ensure it is immediately available when needed. Routine maintenance may be overlooked or given insufficient attention by the system owner. However, the building is neglected at the risk of crippling occupants' lives and property damage. The importance of care cannot be overemphasized. Installation and maintenance should only be done by qualified personnel.

The inspection should include an assessment that the extinguishing system continues to provide adequate protection for the risk (protected areas and state of the art technology may change over time).
