Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 14520-11 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 21, Equipment for fire protection and fire
fighting, Subcommittee SC 8, Gaseous media and firefighting systems using gas.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 14520-11:2000), which has been technically
revised.
ISO 14520 consists of the following parts, under the general title Gaseous fire-extinguishing systems —
Physical properties and system design:
⎯ Part 1: General requirements
⎯ Part 2: CF I extinguishant
3
⎯ Part 5: FK-5-1-12 extinguishant

⎯ Part 12: IG-01 extinguishant
⎯ Part 13: IG-100 extinguishant
⎯ Part 14: IG-55 extinguishant
⎯ Part 15: IG-541 extinguishant
Parts 3, 4 and 7, which dealt with FC-2-1-8, FC-3-1-10 and HCFC 124 extinguishants, respectively, have been
withdrawn, as these types are no longer manufactured.

Part 11:
HFC 236fa extinguishant
1 Scope
This part of ISO 14520 gives specific requirements for gaseous fire-extinguishing systems, with respect to the
HFC 236fa extinguishant. It includes details of physical properties, specification, usage and safety aspects
and is applicable to systems operating at nominal pressures of 25 bar and 42 bar superpressurized with
nitrogen. This does not preclude the use of other systems.
2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated
references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced
document (including any amendments) applies.

4 Characteristics and uses
4.1 General
Extinguishant HFC 236fa shall comply with the specification according to Table 1.
HFC 236fa is a colourless, almost odourless, electrically non-conductive gas with a density approximately five
times that of air.
The physical properties are given in Table 2.
HFC 236fa extinguishes fires mainly by physical means, but also by some chemical means.
