22、been prepared under the direction of the Fire Standards Policy Committee and supersedes BS5306-5.1:1982 which is withdrawn. BS5306 comprises the following Parts and Sections: Part 0: Guide for the selection of installed systems and other fire equipment; Part 1: Hydrant systems, hose reels and foam i
23、nlets; Part 2: Specification for sprinkler systems; Part 3: Code of practice for selection, installation and maintenance of portable fire extinguishers; Part 4: Specification for carbon dioxide systems; Part 5: Halon systems; Section 5.2: Halon 1211 total flooding systems; Part 6: Foam systems; Sect
24、ion 6.1: Specification for low expansion foam systems; Section 6.2: Specification for medium and high expansion foam systems; Part 7: Specification for powder systems. Halon systems are designed to provide a piped supply of gaseous extinguishing medium for the extinction of fire. Several different m
25、ethods of piping supplies of halon to, and applying it at, the required points 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 Section of BS5306 has been prepared to meet this need. Ad
26、vice is given on the selection of the system most suited to a particular need, on suitable methods of operation and on the part these systems may play in general schemes of fire protection on premises. Requirements and recommendations are given on the design, maintenance and efficient operation of s
27、ystems. In particular, new requirements and recommendations to eliminate the need to release halon 1301 during testing and commissioning procedures have been included. These are linked to the inclusion of the new fan test method given in Appendix A. The requirements and recommendations of this Secti
28、on of BS5306 are made in the light of the best technical data known to the committee 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 t
29、he preparation of this standard 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 halon systems and equipment, for whose guidance it has been prep
30、ared, and who can be expected to exercise a duty of care to avoid unnecessary release of halon1301. Attention is drawn to the Montreal Protocol on Substances that deplete the ozone layer. Product certification. Users of this British Standard are advised to consider the desirability of independent ce
31、rtification of product conformity with this British Standard based on testing and continuing surveillance, which may be coupled with assessment of a suppliers quality systems against the appropriate Part of BS5750. NOTEThis standard has been written in the form of a practice specification (see claus
32、e6 of PD6501-1:1982). To comply with this specification, the user has to comply with all its requirements. He may depart from recommendations, but this would be on his own responsibility and he would be expected to have good reasons for doing so.BS5306-5.1:1992 iv BSI 04-1999 A British Standard does
33、 not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. In particular, attention is drawn to the Pressure Systems and Tr

General 0 Introduction It is important that the fire protection of a building or other construction work should be considered as a whole. Halon 1301 total flooding systems form only a part, t
36、hough 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 speci
37、al hazards. Halon1301 has for many years been a recognized effective medium for the extinction of flammable liquid fires and fires in the presence of electrical risks, but it should not be forgotten, in the planning of the comprehensive schemes, that there may be hazards for which this medium is not
38、 suitable or that in certain circumstances or situations there may be dangers in its use, requiring special precautions. Halon1301 total flooding systems convey halon1301 from storage containers for the protection of a particular part or parts of the building or other construction work against fire.
39、 The systems may be piped or otherwise connected, and may use containers at a central location, or dispersed at several locations in the protected area. Advice on these matters can be obtained from the appropriate fire authority or other enforcing authority under the Health and Safety at Worketc. Ac
40、t 1974, and from the insurers. In addition, reference should be made as necessary to other Parts of this standard. It is essential that the fire extinguishing equipment should be carefully maintained to ensure instant readiness when required. This routine is liable to be overlooked or given insuffic
41、ient attention by supervisors. 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. 1 Scope This Section of BS5306 specifies requirements and gives recommendations for
42、the design, installation, testing, maintenance and safety of halon1301 total flooding fire extinguishing systems in building or plant, and the characteristics of halon1301 and the types of fire for which it is a suitable extinguishing medium. This standard covers only systems operating at25 bar or42
43、 bar (at20C) with nitrogen propellant; design data for other pressures and propellants are not available at this time. This standard does not cover explosion suppression systems, systems in which halon is discharged to inert a flammable or explosive gas mixture, or small fixed fire extinguishers whi
44、ch are covered by BS7327-1. This Section of BS5306 covers halon1301 systems for use in buildings and other construction works. The systems are also widely used on ships and in aircraft, and while its requirements may apply in general for such applications, additional requirements may be necessary. S
45、ome information on marine applications is given in Appendix E. NOTE 1Unless otherwise specified in this standard all pressures are gauge pressures expressed in bars. 1 bar = 10 5 N/m 2 = 10 2kPa NOTE 2The titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on inside back cover. 2 Defi
