BS EN 15004 is a European Standard on gaseous extinguishing media and systems that are a part of fixed firefighting systems. The main objective of the BS EN 15004 series is to ensure gas extinguishing systems’ performance plays a positive role during a fire emergency. BS EN 15004-10 is the tenth part of multi-series specifies requirements for gaseous fire-extinguishing systems, with respect to the IG-541 extinguishant. It includes details of physical properties, specification, usage, and safety aspects. BS EN 15004-10 is applicable for systems operating at nominal pressures of 150 bar, 200 bar, and 300 bar at 15 °C. This does not preclude the use of other systems, although design data for other pressures are not available at this time. Who is BS EN 15004-10 - Gas extinguishing systems for IG-541 extinguishant for? BS EN 15004-10 on gas extinguishing systems for IG-541 extinguishant is relevant to: Manufacturers of gas extinguishing systems Manufacturers of fire extinguishing equipment Fire and safety department Disaster management department Fire engineers Why should you use BS EN 15004-10- Gas extinguishing systems for IG-541 extinguishant? A gas extinguishing system is a fire extinguishing system that extinguishes the fire with the help of a gaseous extinguishing agent through oxygen displacement. BS EN 15004-10 provides guidelines on system design, including physical properties of extinguishing system, use of IG-541 systems, the safety of personnel, and environmental properties. BS EN 15004-10 is helpful as the adoption of these requirements and specifications can aid in protecting safety personnel from hazards arising from: The extinguishant itself The combustion products of the fire Compliance with BS EN 15004-10 is beneficial as the properties, design, and performance requirements and guidelines enable you to establish efficient firefighting systems during hazardous situations, that are devoid of product failures, and contribute to a successful fire response.
