Ta del standarda EN 15004 določa zahteve in podaja priporočila za načrtovanje, vgradnjo, preskušanje, vzdrževanje in varnost sistemov za gašenje s plinom v stavbah, obratih ali drugih zgradbah ter značilnosti različnih gasil in vrst požarov, za katere so primerno sredstvo za gašenje.
Obravnava sisteme za popolno zapolnitev, ki so povezani predvsem s stavbami, obrati in z drugimi posebnimi načini uporabe ter uporabljajo električno neprevodna sredstva za gašenje s plinom, ki po izpustu ne puščajo ostankov in za katere je trenutno na voljo dovolj podatkov, ki omogočajo potrjevanje značilnosti zmogljivosti in varnosti s strani ustreznega neodvisnega organa. Ta del standarda EN 15004 se ne uporablja za zadušitev eksplozije.
Ta del standarda EN 15004 ne pomeni odobritve sredstev za gašenje, ki jih v njem navajajo ustrezni organi, saj so lahko druga sredstva za gašenje enako sprejemljiva. CO2 ni vključen, ker je obravnavan v drugih mednarodnih standardih.
Ta del standarda EN 15004 se uporablja za sredstva za gašenje, navedena v preglednici 1. Bistveno je, da se uporablja skupaj z ločenimi deli standarda EN 15004 za specifična sredstva za gašenje, kot je navedeno v preglednici 1.

EN 15004-1:2019 (E)
Introduction
Extinguishing systems covered in this part of EN 15004 are designed to provide a supply of gaseous
extinguishing medium for the extinction of fire.
Several different methods of supplying extinguishant to, and applying it at, the required point of
discharge for fire extinction have been developed in recent years, and there is a need for dissemination
of information on established systems and methods. This part of EN 15004 has been prepared to meet
this need.
The requirements of this part of EN 15004 are made in the light of the best technical data known to the
working group at the time of writing but, since a wide field is covered, it has been impracticable to
consider every possible factor or circumstance that might affect implementation of the
recommendations.
It has been assumed in the preparation of this part of EN 15004 that the execution of its provisions is
entrusted to people 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 unnecessary
release of extinguishant.
Attention is drawn to the Montreal Protocol on substances that deplete the ozone layer.
It is important that the fire protection of a building or plant be considered as a whole. Gaseous
extinguishant systems form only a part, though an important part, of the available facilities, but it
should not 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.
Gaseous extinguishants have for many years been a recognized effective medium for the extinction of
inflammable liquid fires and fires in the presence of electrical and ordinary Class A hazards, but it
should not be forgotten, in the planning of comprehensive schemes, that there may be hazards for
which these media are not suitable, or that in certain circumstances or situations there may be dangers
in their use requiring special precautions.
Advice on these matters can be obtained from the appropriate manufacturer of the extinguishant or the
extinguishing system. Information may also be sought from the appropriate fire authority, the health
and safety authorities and insurers. In addition, reference should be made as necessary to other
national standards and statutory regulations of the particular country.
It is essential that extinguishing systems be carefully maintained to ensure instant readiness when
required. Maintenance measures is liable to be overlooked or given insufficient attention by the owner
of the system. It is, however, neglected at peril to the lives of occupants of the premises and at the risk
of crippling financial loss. The importance of maintenance cannot be too highly emphasized. Installation
and maintenance should only be done by qualified personnel.
Inspection preferably by a third party, should include an evaluation 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).
