Introduction
This document is intended for use by those concerned with purchasing, designing, installing, testing,
inspecting, approving, operating and maintaining carbon dioxide (CO ) extinguishing systems.
2
This document applies only to carbon dioxide fixed fire-extinguishing systems in buildings and other
premises on land. Although the general principles can apply to other uses (e.g. maritime use), for
these other uses, it is likely that additional considerations will have to be taken into account and the
application of the requirements given in this document is therefore unlikely to be fully satisfactory.
General information about carbon dioxide as an extinguishing medium is given in Annex D. This can be
useful background information for those unfamiliar with the characteristics of this medium.
It has been assumed in the preparation of this document that the execution of its provisions will be
entrusted to those persons appropriately qualified and experienced in the specification, design,
installation, testing, approval, inspection, operation and maintenance of systems and equipment, for
whose guidance it has been prepared, and who can be expected to exercise a duty of care to avoid the
unnecessary release of carbon dioxide. New requirements to minimize the need to release carbon
dioxide during testing and commissioning procedures are included in this third edition. These are
linked to the inclusion of enclosure integrity testing.
Carbon dioxide has for many years been a recognized effective medium for the extinction of flammable
liquid fires as well as fires in the presence of electrical and ordinary Class A hazards. Nevertheless, in
the planning of comprehensive schemes, it should be remembered that there can be hazards for which
this media is not suitable, and that in certain circumstances or situations there can be dangers in its use
requiring special precautions.
The use of carbon dioxide is no longer recommended for total flooding of occupied areas if more
appropriate extinguishing agents are available. ISO 14520 provides requirements for other
extinguishing agents that can be more appropriately used in these areas.
It is important that the fire protection of a building or plant be considered as a whole. Carbon dioxide
systems form only a part, albeit an important part, of the available facilities. It cannot be assumed that
their adoption necessarily removes the need to consider supplementary measures, such as the provision
of portable fire extinguishers or other mobile appliances for first aid or emergency use, or to deal with
special hazards.
Advice on these matters can be obtained from the appropriate manufacturer of the carbon dioxide
or the extinguishing system. Information can also be sought from the appropriate fire authority, the
health and safety authorities, and insurers. In addition, reference needs to be made, as appropriate, to
the other national standards and statutory regulations of a given country.
It is essential that firefighting equipment be carefully maintained to ensure instant readiness when
required. Routine maintenance is liable to be overlooked or given insufficient attention by the owner
of the system. It is, however, neglected at the peril of the lives of occupants of the premises and at
the risk of crippling financial loss. The importance of maintenance cannot be too highly emphasized.
Inspection, preferably by a third party, should include an evaluation concluding that the extinguishing
system continues to provide adequate protection for the risk (protected zones as well as state-of-the-
art can change over time).
