Foam fire protection systems are especially vital in extinguishing and controlling flammable liquid fires. Standards such as NFPA 11, NFPA 16 and NFPA 30 etc. by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) or FM DS 7-29, FMDS 7-32 etc. by FM Global and EN 13565 etc. by EN provide basic guidelines for the design, material selection, installation and maintenance of foam fire protection systems.
These standards represent internationally recognized best practices by fire safety experts. The correct use of standards combined with quality materials maximizes the effectiveness of foam fire protection systems.
Designing a foam fire protection system in accordance with these standards is a major responsibility in terms of fire safety. Each standard provides specific requirements and guidelines necessary for the system to operate effectively. Strict adherence to these standards during the design and implementation of the system is therefore critical in ensuring the safety of both the facility and the people working there.
The selection of materials in accordance with the selected design standard is a technical necessity. Because when you do not use products with design standards, you cannot know the behavior of the system in the face of fire.
