What is BS EN 12094-16 – Odorizing devices for CO2 low pressure systems about?
BS EN 12094-16 discusses components for gas extinguishing systems. The aim of the BS EN 12094 series is to provide the best industry requirements for the safe and reliable use of fixed firefighting systems, such that they play a positive role during a fire emergency.
BS EN 12094-16 is the 16th part of the BS EN 12094 series that specifies requirements and describes test methods for odorizing devices for CO2 low pressure systems which release an odorizing substance into the extinguishant during discharge.
BS EN 12094-16 is applicable to odorizing devices for CO2 low pressure systems, which are not pressurized before discharge.
Who is BS EN 12094-16 – Odorizing devices for CO2 low pressure systems for?
BS EN 12094-16 on odorizing devices is useful for:
- Odorizing devices manufactures
- Gas extinguishing systems manufacturers and suppliers
- Installers
- Entities involved in fire safety engineering
- Quality control and testing department
- Fire safety departments
- Local authorities
- Regulatory bodies
Why should you use BS EN 12094-16 – Odorizing devices for CO2 low pressure systems?
A fire extinguishing system that extinguishes the fire with the help of a gaseous extinguishing agent either through oxygen displacement (reduction of oxygen content) or physical effects (heat extraction). To prevent hazardous situations, it is necessary that gas extinguishing systems and their accessories are designed and built as per the best industry performance requirements.
BS EN 12094-16 provides you with requirements and test methods that can be followed while manufacturing electrical automatic control and delay devices. This can ensure that it releases an odorizing substance into the extinguishant during discharge.
If you are a manufacturer, BS EN 12094-16 can ensure that your electrical automatic control and delay devices contribute to the operational efficiency of the gas extinguishing system and contribute to a successful fire response.
