Description / Abstract:
These requirements cover the performance during fire tests of
pre-engineered fire extinguishing system units intended for the
protection of commercial cooking equipment for restaurants,
cafeterias and other similar venues. For installation requirements,
see the following documents: NFPA 17, Standard for Dry Chemical
Extinguishing Systems; NFPA 96, Standard for Ventilation Control
and Fire Protection of Commercial Cooking Operations; and NFPA 17A,
Standard for Wet Chemical Extinguishing Systems. Note that local
authorities having jurisdiction should be consulted prior to
installation.
Pre-engineered fire extinguishing system units, agents, or both
are required to comply also with the requirements for construction
and performance as applicable to specific types, designs, sizes,
and arrangements; and all such additional requirements which apply
are not within the scope of these requirements for fire tests.
The term "product" as used in this standard refers to all fire
extinguishing systems or any part thereof covered by the
requirements unless specifically noted otherwise.
