New white paper on HFC Fire Extinguishants; a clarification of the regulations
A number of voluntary and regulatory initiatives exist today that are designed to protect the environment from ozone depletion and climate change; however, confusion related to these initiatives can often lead to misinterpretations, misunderstandings, and unfounded and exaggerated concerns in a number of areas. These misrepresentations are evident in the use of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) as clean agent fire suppression materials. This paper describes in greater detail some aspects of these various environmental initiatives in order to provide a clearer picture of how they apply to and affect the fire protection industry, and confirms that none of the current key global regulatory initiatives place restrictions on the use of HFCs in fire protection due to the low emission levels of this application.
