Amendment to the Public Notice Specifying the Detailed Technical Standards for Foam Fire-Extinguishing Equipment at Manufacturing Facilities, etc.

The draft would amend the provisions on packaged fixed foam fire-extinguishing systems in the detailed technical standards for foam fire-extinguishing equipment at manufacturing facilities, etc. It would specify the foam extinguishing agents permitted for these systems, including agents meeting the relevant specifications, and require the agents to have demonstrated extinguishing performance in the tests prescribed in the annex. The requirements apply to entities responsible for facilities where such systems are installed and used, and for managing the equipment and agents; the evidence does not specify exemptions or phased arrangements.
