As a result of this decision and the outcomes of subsequent committee votes on this matter, NFPA recently announced that it will issue the 2008 edition of NFPA Standard 2001 with guidelines from the current (2004) version, preserving existing industry standards for design concentrations for Class C fires. » More June 15, 2007 DuPont Fire Extinguishants Supports Decision on Clean Agent Extinguishant Concentrations at National Fire Protection Association Conference Floor Debate on the Appropriate Design Concentration to Extinguish Class C Fires Results in Vote to Uphold Current Requirements and Reject Higher Costs for End-Users » More June 14, 2007 Safe, Environmentally Sustainable Fire Suppression Solutions - DuPont white paper There are a number of misconceptions surrounding the environmental impact of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) in clean agent fire suppression materials. As this paper will outline, 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 these applications. » More May 16, 2007 DuPont Fire Extinguishants Exhibits Clean Agent Solutions for Fire Protection at NFPA World Safety Conference & Expo DuPont Fire Extinguishants will exhibit its portfolio of clean agent fire extinguishants at the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) World Safety Conference & Expo – the premiere event for fire and life safety professionals – in Boston, Mass., at the Boston Convention & Expo Center, June 3-7, 2007. Visitors to the NFPA World Safety Conference & Expo will find DuPont Fire Extinguishants at booth #619. » More May 1, 2007 Evaluating the Performance of Clean Agent Fire Extinguishants in the Suppression of Class C Fires - DuPont white paper Despite the fact that there has not been a single documented report of the failure of any clean agent system to extinguish a fire involving energized electrical equipment during the past 15 year period in which clean agent fire suppression agents have been employed, a change to standards have been proposed that would increase the costs of such systems by at least 33 percent. » More April 15, 2007 HFCs as Fire Extinguishants - DuPont white paper 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. » More March 15, 2007 Best Practice for Fire Protection Now Also Offers Opportunity for LEED® Credits DuPont Fire Extinguishants exhibits its portfolio of clean agent fire extinguishants at the National Facilities Management & Technology (NFM&T) Conference and Expo.
