1 Scope
This International Standard specifies requirements and gives recommendations for the
design, installation, testing, maintenance and safety of fixed carbon dioxide
firefighting systems in buildings, plant or other structures. It is not applicable
to extinguishing systems on ships, in aircraft, on vehicles and 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).
