10、dardization) 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
11、 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 S
12、tandards 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
13、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 15779:2011(E) ISO 2011 All rights reserved vIntroduction Firefighting systems covered in this International Standard are design
15、ed to provide a supply of condensed aerosol extinguishing medium for the extinction of fire. Several different methods of supplying condensed aerosol 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
16、 dissemination of information on established systems and methods. This International Standard has been prepared to meet this need. The requirements of this International Standard are made in the light of the best technical data known to the working group at the time of writing but, since a wide fiel
17、d 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 International Standard that the execution of its provisions is entrusted to people appropriately qualified
18、 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. It is important t
19、hat the fire protection of a building or plant be considered as a whole. Condensed aerosol extinguishing 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,
20、such as the provision of portable fire extinguishers or other mobile appliances for first aid or emergency use, or to deal with special hazards. Condensed aerosol extinguishants have for many years been a recognized effective medium for the extinction of flammable liquid fires and fires in the prese
21、nce 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 mediums are not suitable, or that in certain circumstances or situations there may be dangers in their use requiring special precautions
22、. Advice on these matters can be obtained from the appropriate manufacturer of the extinguishant and/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
23、other national standards and statutory regulations of the particular country. It is essential that firefighting equipment be carefully maintained to ensure instant readiness when required. Routine maintenance is liable to be overlooked or given insufficient attention by the owner of the system. It i
24、s, 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 carried out by qualified personnel. Inspection should include an evaluation
25、 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). Annex D deals with the tests for determination of the extinguishing application density and system performance and they are designed in such a way
26、to allow individual installers to use his or her system and carry out all of the extinguishing tests. The tests presented in Annex D have been established to evaluate application densities suitable for the protection of Class A fires with wood crib fire tests and plastic fuel hazards such as may be
27、encountered in information technology, telecommunications and process control facilities, as well as Class B fires with heptane pan and heptane can test fires in an enclosure of 100 m 3 .

28、extinguishing systems Requirements and test methods for components and system design, installation and maintenance General requirements 1 Scope This International Standard specifies requirements and test methods for components and gives recommendations for the design, installation, testing, maintena
29、nce and safety of condensed aerosol firefighting systems in buildings, plants or other structures, and the characteristics of the extinguishants and types of fire for which they are a suitable extinguishing medium. It covers total flooding systems primarily related to buildings, plant and other spec
30、ific applications, utilizing electrically non-conducting condensed aerosol fire extinguishants for which there are sufficient data currently available to enable validation of performance characteristics by an appropriate independent authority. Local applications of condensed aerosol extinguishing sy
31、stems are not covered by this International Standard. Any local applications require a pre-engineered and pre-designed system which has been tested and approved for a specific application by a relevant authority. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the app
