28、GHTED MATERIAL NOT AUTHORIZED FOR FURTHER REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL Preface This is the common UL and ULC Standard for Halocarbon Clean Agent Fire Extinguishers. It is the Second edition of CAN/ULC-S566, and the Third edition of ANSI/UL 2129. This common Standard was pr

29、epared by Underwriters Laboratories Inc., ULC Standards, and the UL/ ULC Extinguisher Technical Harmonization Committee. The efforts and support of the Harmonization Technical Committee are gratefully acknowledged. Only metric SI units of measurement are used in this Standard. If a value for measure

30、ment is followed by a value in other units in parentheses, the second value may be approximate. The rst stated value is the requirement. In Canada, there are two official languages, English and French. All safety warnings must be in French and English. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some

31、 Canadian authorities may require additional markings and/or installation instructions to be in both official languages. Note: Although the intended primary application of this Standard is stated in its scope, it is important to note that it remains the responsibility of the users of the standard to

32、 judge its suitability for their particular purpose. Level of harmonization This Standard is published as an identical standard between UL and ULC Standards. An identical standard is a standard that is the same in technical content except for conicts in Codes and Governmental Regulations. Presentati

33、on shall be word for word except for editorial changes. Interpretations The interpretation by the SDO of an identical or equivalent standard shall be based on the literal text to determine compliance with the standard in accordance with the procedural rules of the SDO. If more than one interpretatio

34、n of the literal text has been identied, a revision shall be proposed as soon as possible to each of the SDOs to more accurately reect the intent. UL Effective Date A UL effective date is one established by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. and is not part of the ANSI approved Standard. JANUARY 5, 2017

35、 CAN/ULC-S566 ANSI/UL 2129 6UL COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL NOT AUTHORIZED FOR FURTHER REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL INTRODUCTION 1 Scope 1.1 These requirements cover the construction and performance, exclusive of performance during re tests, of portable halocarbon clean agent re e

36、xtinguishers. Halocarbon clean agent re extinguishers are intended to be utilized in accordance with the Standard for Portable Fire Extinguishers, NFPA 10 and with the National Fire Code of Canada. 1.2 The requirements for performance during re testing of halocarbon clean agent re extinguishers are

37、specied in the Binational Standard for Rating and Fire Testing of Fire Extinguishers, ANSI/UL 711/CAN/ULC-S508. 1.3 As used in these requirements, the term re extinguisher refers to all extinguishers or any part thereof covered by these requirements, unless specically noted otherwise. 2 Units of Mea

38、surement 2.1 The metric unit shall be designated as the official unit for purposes of this standard. Where values of measurement are specied in both SI and English units, either unit is used. In cases of dispute, the metric unit shall be used. 3 Reference Publications 3.1 See Annex A for a list of p

39、ublications referenced in this standard. Any undated reference to a code or standard appearing in the requirements of this standard shall be interpreted as referring to the latest edition of that code or standard. When the latest edition of a standard is not applicable, the appropriate edition is in

40、dicated accordingly in Annex A. 4 Components 4.1 Except as indicated in 4.2, a component of a product covered by this standard shall comply with the requirements for that component. A component shall comply with both the Underwriters Laboratories Inc. and the Underwriters Laboratories of Canada stan

41、dards for the component. 4.2 A component is not required to comply with a specic requirement that: a) Involves a feature or characteristic not required in the application of the component in the product covered by this standard, or b) Is superseded by a requirement in this standard. 4.3 A component

42、shall be used in accordance with its rating established for the intended conditions of use. 4.4 Specic components are incomplete in construction features or restricted in performance capabilities. Such components are intended for use only under limited conditions, such as certain temperatures not ex

43、ceeding specied limits, and shall be used only under those specic conditions. 5 Glossary 5.1 For the purpose of this Standard, the following denitions apply: JANUARY 5, 2017 CAN/ULC-S566 ANSI/UL 2129 7UL COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL NOT AUTHORIZED FOR FURTHER REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION

44、FROM UL 5.2 CLEAN AGENT Electrically nonconducting, volatile, or gaseous re extinguishant that does not leave a residue. 5.3 DISPOSABLE (NONRECHARGEABLE) FIRE EXTINGUISHER A re extinguisher not capable of nor intended to undergo complete maintenance including internal inspection of cylinder, replace

45、ment of parts and seals and hydrostatic testing. 5.4 EFFECTIVE DISCHARGE The time of discharge of extinguishing agent from the extinguisher until gas point. 5.5 EXPELLANT GAS A compressed or pressurized gas used to propel the clean agent from a single cylinder. 5.6 GALVANIC COMPATIBILITY Fire exting

46、uisher cylinder and component parts which are not susceptible to 10-day stress corrosion cracking nor corrosion from combination of dissimilar materials. 5.7 GAS POINT The point in time when the discharge changes from extinguishing agent to a gas and agent combination. 5.8 HALOCARBON AGENT A clean a

47、gent that contains as primary components one or more of the elements uorine, chlorine, bromine or iodine. Examples include hydrochlorouorocarbons (HCFCs), hydrouorocarbons (HFCs), peruorocarbons (PFCs), and uoriodocarbons (FICs) type agents. The words clean agent as used in this document shall mean

48、halocarbon agent unless otherwise indicated. 5.9 LOWEST OBSERVABLE ADVERSE EFFECT LEVEL (LOAEL) The lowest concentration at which an adverse physiological or toxicological effect has been observed. 5.10 PORTABLE FIRE EXTINGUISHER A re extinguisher carried or on wheels and operated by hand. 5.11 PRES

49、SURE GAUGE A gauge that shows the pressure in the cylinder and the operating range of the extinguisher based upon the operating temperature-pressure relationship in appropriate pressure units. 5.12 PRESSURE INDICATOR An indicator that shows that the extinguisher is pressurized with its rated expellant gas pressure. 5.13 RECHARGEABLE (REFILLABLE) FIRE EXTINGUISHER A re extinguisher capable of undergoing complete m
