1 Scope
This document specifies requirements and gives recommendations for the design, installation,
testing, maintenance and safety of fixed carbon dioxide firefighting systems in buildings, plants or other
structures. It is not applicable to extinguishing systems on ships, in aircraft, on
vehicles or on mobile fire appliances, or to below‑ground systems in the mining industry;
nor does it apply to carbon dioxide pre-inerting systems.
Design of systems where unclosable opening(s) exceed a specified area and where the
opening(s) can be subject to the effect of wind is not specified, although general
guidance on the procedure to be followed in such cases is given (see 7.4.3.2).
