Application and use

This product declaration covers the construction and operation of condensed aerosol generators for total flooding applications when

installed, inspected, tested, and maintained in accordance with the Standard for Fixed Aerosol Fire Extinguishing Systems, NFPA 2010.

The fire extinguishing components shall be suitable for extinguishing fires of the following classes:

• Class A according NFPA 2010

• Class B according NFPA 2010

• Class C according NFPA 2010

Conditions for application

• The numbers and types of the extinguishing components have to be determined in conformity with the guidelines and calculation

methods of the supplier.

• Distribution is to be done by supplier or companies authorised by the supplier.

• Before usage an instruction is to be given by a trainer or instructor for this product authorized by the supplier.

• The installation and maintenance of the fire extinguishing components have to take place according to the specifications of the

supplier, NFPA 2010 or evaluation guideline BRL-K23003.

Point of interest during use or limitation of use

The condensed aerosol extinguishing components should not be used on fires involving the following unless relevant testing by accredited testing laboratories has been carried out to the satisfaction of the Authority:

• Deep seated fires in Class A materials

• Certain chemicals or mixtures of chemicals material, such as cellulose nitrate and gunpowder, that are capable of rapid oxidation in

the absence of air

• Reactive metals such as lithium, sodium, potassium, magnesium, titanium, zirconium, uranium and plutonium.

• Metal hydrides

• Chemicals capable of undergoing auto thermal decomposition, such as certain organic peroxides and hydrazine

• Condensed aerosol generators shall not be used to protect classified hazards or similar spaces containing flammable liquids or

dusts that can be present in explosive air–fuel mixtures unless the generators are specifically listed for use in those environments.

• Temperatures for use of aerosol extinguishing agents shall be within the supplier’s listed limits.

• Unless specifically approved as an agent blend or mixture, systems employing the simultaneous discharge of different agents to

protect the same enclosed space shall not be permitted.

• Where unrelated extinguishing or suppression systems, such as a sprinkler system or a gaseous fire-extinguishing system are

provided and can operate prior to or during the hold time of the aerosol system, the other agent shall not adversely affect the

aerosol.

The above list may not be exhaustive.

Kiwa®



• The design, installation, service, and maintenance of aerosol systems shall be performed by persons skilled in aerosol fire-

extinguishing system technology.

• Local applications 1) of condensed aerosol extinguishing systems are not covered by this product declaration.

• Local applications require a pre-engineered and pre-designed system which has been tested and approved for a specific application

by a authority such as Kiwa or by an accredited testing laboratory.

1)

a local application is used for the extinguishment of surface fires in flammable liquids, gasses, and shallow solids, where the

enclosure does not conform to the requirements for total flooding.
