38、e Extinguishers, NFPA 10 and with the National Fire Codeof Canada.1.2 The requirements for performance during fire testing of water based agent fire extinguishers arespecified in the Binational Standard for Rating and Fire Testing of Fire Extinguishers, ANSI/UL 711CAN/ULC-S508.1.3 As used in these r

39、equirements, the term extinguisher refers to all extinguishers or any part thereofcovered by these requirements, unless specifically noted otherwise.2 Units of Measurement2.1 The metric unit shall be designated as the official unit for purposes of this standard. Where values ofmeasurement are specif

40、ied in both SI and English units, either unit is used. In cases of dispute, the metricunit shall be used.3 Reference Publications3.1 See Annex A for a list of publications referenced in this standard.

A component shall comply with both the Underwriters Laboratories Inc.and the Underwriters Laboratories of Canada standards for the component.4.2 A component is not required to comply with a specific requirement that:a) Involves a feature or characteri

43、stic not required in the application of the component in theproduct covered by this standard, orb) Is superseded by a requirement in this standard.4.3 A component shall be used in accordance with its rating established for the intended conditions ofuse.4.4 Specific components are incomplete in const

44、ruction features or restricted in performance capabilities.Such components are intended for use only under limited conditions, such as certain temperatures notexceeding specified limits, and shall be used only under those specific conditions.5 Glossary5.1 For the purpose of this standard, the follow
