Fire Extinguishing Agents
General Information
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers requirements for iodotrifluoromethane (CF3I, CAS No. 2314-97-8) as an agent for fire suppression. This specification is not intended for large-scale commercial usage.
1.2 This specification does not address fire-fighting equipment or hardware that uses CF3I or the conditions of using such equipment (for example, portable extinguishers, fixed fire suppression systems, explosion inerting systems, and so forth).
1.3 This specification does not address the storage or transportation of CF3I. The storage, handling, and transportation issues may be addressed in future ASTM specifications.
1.4 CF3I has been found to be a cardiac sensitizer with a no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) of 0.2 %. Therefore, sampling and other procedures should be performed only in areas with effective mechanical ventilation. Long-term exposures should be avoided pending the development of appropriate exposure standards.
1.5 Units—The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.
1.6 The following precautionary statement pertains only to the test method portion of this specification: This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.7 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

The material shall be tested for purity, methanol impurity, acidity, water content, halogen ion content, nonvolatile residue, suspended matter and sediment, and fixed or nonabsorbable gases in the vapor phase.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers the requirements for Halon 1301 as a fire-fighting medium.
1.2 This specification does not address the fire-fighting equipment or hardware that employs Halon 1301 or the conditions of employing such equipment (for example, handhelds, fixed installations, etc.).
1.3 This specification does not address the storage or transportation of Halon 1301. Storage, handling, and transportation issues are addressed in Practice D5631.
1.4 The values stated in both inch-pound and SI units are to be regarded separately as the standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions that are provided for information only.
1.5 The following safety hazards caveat pertains only to the test methods portion, Section 6, of this specification: This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. Specific hazards statements are given in 4.5.

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
This practice provides requirements for the handling, transportation, and storage of HCFC Blend B encountered in distribution through both commercial and military channels. It is intended to ensure that HCFC Blend B is handled, transported, and stored in such a way that its physical property virtues are not degraded. Transport may be by various means, such as, but not limited to, highway, rail, water, and air.
SCOPE
1.1 This practice covers guidance and direction to suppliers, reclaimers, purchasers, and users in the handling, transportation, and storage of HCFC Blend B.
1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
