26、 national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by March 2018, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by March 2018.

BS EN 16750:2017EN 16750:2017 (E) 5 Introduction Oxygen reduction systems are designed to prevent fires from starting or spreading, by means of the introduction of oxygen reduced air. Oxygen reduction systems are not designed to extinguish fires. The design and installat
30、ion shall be based on detailed knowledge of the protected area, its occupancy and the materials in question. It is important to suit the fire protection measures to the hazard as a whole. It is important to emphasize that across the European Union there are several regulatory and legislative limitat
31、ions for access and working in areas with lower oxygen concentration, so it is important to take these limitations into account. Use of this European Standard can vary based on the national legislation in each country of the European Union. BS EN 16750:2017EN 16750:2017 (E) 6 1 Scope This European s
32、tandard specifies oxygen reduction systems that are used as fire prevention systems by creating an atmosphere in an area which is having a lower permanent oxygen concentration as in ambient conditions. The level of oxygen reduction is defined by the individual risks of these areas (see Annex A). Oxy
33、gen reduction is achieved by technical systems which are providing a flux of air containing a reduced concentration of oxygen. This European standard specifies minimum requirements and defines the specifications governing the design, installation and maintenance of fixed oxygen reduction systems wit
34、h oxygen reduced air in buildings and industrial production plants. The standard also applies to the extension and modification of existing systems. This European standard applies to oxygen reduction systems using nitrogen which are designed for continual oxygen reduction in enclosed spaces. NOTE Ni
35、trogen is today the most suitable gas to be used for oxygen reduction. For other gases this European standard can be used as basis. This European standard does not apply to oxygen reduction systems that use water mist or combustion gases. The European standard does not apply to: explosion suppressio
36、n systems; explosion prevention systems; fire extinguishing systems using gaseous extinguishing agents; inertization of portable containers; systems in which oxygen levels are reduced for reasons other than fire prevention (e.g. steel processing in the presence of inert gas to avoid the formation of
37、 oxide film); inerting required during repair work on systems or equipment (e.g. welding) in order to eliminate the risk of fire or explosion. In addition to the conditions for the actual oxygen reduction system and its individual components this European standard also covers certain structural spec
38、ifications for the protected area. The space protected by an oxygen reduction system is a controlled and continuously monitored indoor climate for extended occupation. This standard does not cover unventilated confined spaces that may contain hazardous gases. 2 Normative references The following doc

42、tic and possibly additional visual alarm in protected areas or their immediate surroundings 3.1.3 internal alarm acoustic and visual displays at the detection panel, possibly with additional displays at other signalling equipment 3.1.4 alarm threshold value of a process parameter which, when reached
43、, triggers an alarm and, where necessary, initiates automatic protection measures 3.1.5 alarm signal signal to warn people at risk and/or to summon help from the emergency services and/or to provide information about automatic response measures 3.2 design concentration ingnition threshold including
44、a safety margin Note 1 to entry: See also Figure 1. Note 2 to entry: The design concentration represents the maximum oxygen concentration which cannot be exceeded in any time. 3.3 emergency situation deviation from normal operation EXAMPLE For example a significant deviation from the threshold value
45、 (scale of risk). 3.4 operating pressure pressure of a system under normal operating conditions 3.5 combustible material A material capable of combustion or being ignited Note 1 to entry: For the purposes of this standard, whether the quantity of a combustible material is to be regarded as significa
46、nt or not can be determined by means of a risk analysis as part of the fire protection design. BS EN 16750:2017EN 16750:2017 (E) 8 3.6 ignition threshold maximum oxygen concentration in a mixture of a combustible material with air and inert gas, in which there can be no ignition, determined under es

48、c or manually input information, issues these and detects any faults. The transmission channels for information and alarms are monitored. Special measures are in place to prevent any malfunction as far as possible, which may be powered electrically or otherwise. Detection and alarm systems cover fac
49、ilities for the input, transmission (through wires or wirelessly), processing and issuing of alarms, including the necessary power supply.
