Compliance and Certificates

International Maritime Organization (IMO) circular

IMO MSC / Circ 1270

The International Maritime Organization (IMO) is a UN agency with 175 member states, setting global standards for maritime safety, security, and sustainability.

IMO MSC/Circ.1270 guideline allows alternative fire safety designs, ensuring innovation while maintaining high protection standards at sea.

Condensed aerosol fire extinguishing systems requirements

ISO 15779

ISO is an independent, non-governmental international organization with a membership of 167 national standards bodies.

Through its members, it brings together experts to share knowledge and develop voluntary, consensus-based, market relevant International Standards that support innovation and provide solutions to global challenges.

Product Certification Scheme for non-pressurized condensed aerosol generators and components used in fixed fire extinguishing systems

BRL K23001

The KIWA certificates provide reliable, objective and internationally recognized proof that the product meets the relevant standard.

In this case for their own Assessment Guideline (BRL) K23001-05 ‘Product Certification Scheme for nonpressurized condensed aerosol generators and components used in fixed fire extinguishing systems’.

This contains all relevant regulations on the basis of which a Kiwa product certificate for stationary fire extinguishing components based on dry aerosols can be issued.

Standard for Fixed Aerosol Fire-Extinguishing Systems

NFPA 2010

This standard contains the requirements for the design, installation, operation, testing, and maintenance of condensed and dispersed aerosol fire-extinguishing systems for total flooding applications. This standard also covers performance requirements and methods of testing for condensed aerosol systems, dispersed aerosol systems, and associated components.

Fixed firefighting systems – Condensed aerosol extinguishing systems

EN 15276

This document specifies requirements and test methods for condensed aerosol extinguishing system components. This document covers the use of condensed aerosol extinguishing systems for total flooding applications.

BRL-K21045 SCP05

Specific Certification Program 05 for Fire Protection of
Lithium-ion batteries storage

The performance of the fire protection system is determined for a typical lithium-ion batterie(s) fire(s). The performance of the fire protection system depends heavily on the typical situation. This certification program requires an test protocol per typical situation motivated on the safety chain consists of five phases, namely pro-action, prevention, preparation, repression and aftercare of the process end-to-end. 

Standard for Fixed Condensed Aerosol Extinguishing System Units

UL 2775

These requirements cover the construction and operation of fixed condensed aerosol extinguishing system units inclusive of aerosol generating extinguishing system units and aerosol generating automatic extinguisher units intended for total flooding applications when installed, inspected, tested, and maintained in accordance with the Standard for Fixed Aerosol Fire Extinguishing Systems, NFPA 2010 and the National Fire Code of Canada.

AS 4487-2013

Condensed aerosol fire extinguishing systems

Global-Mark is one of Australia’s leading Conformity Assessment Bodies (CABs), currently working with over 7,000 clients and has approximately 11,000 current certificates issued.

NEN EN ISO 9094:2022

Small craft – Fire protection

This standard defines a practical degree of fire prevention and protection intended to provide enough time for occupants to escape a fire on board small craft.
It applies to small craft having a length of the hull (LH) of up to 24 m except for personal watercraft.

INERIS – The French National Institute for Industrial Environment & Risks

_{EU-Type Examination Certificate – Module B (CE)}

Ineris is a certification body for safety products and equipment in accordance with the European directives (EC marking for explosive atmospheres or energy materials) and in accordance with international voluntary certification schemes (IECex) or developed by the Institute for attesting to the safety of users (installers, repairers, operators) and citizens.

AS 5062-2016

Fire protection for mobile and transportable equipment

This Standard specifies fire risk management procedures and the minimum requirements for fire protection system design, installation, commissioning, and maintenance for use on mobile and transportable equipment.

Quality management systems — Requirements

ISO 9001:2015

ISO 9001 is the world’s most recognised quality management system standard, established by the International Organisation for Standardization (ISO). ISO 9001 helps organisations implement clear, repeatable processes to maintain a quality service for their customers every time.

BS EN 15276-1

Fixed firefighting systems – Condensed aerosol extinguishing systems

Condensed aerosol is an extinguishing medium consisting of finely divided solid particles and gaseous matter, these being generated by a combustion process of a solid aerosol-forming compound. Aerosol extinguishants have been recognized as effective media for the extinction of Class A fires (solid surface burning fires) and Class B and Class C fires according to EN 2.

In this regard, firefighting systems covered in BS EN 15276-1 are designed to provide a supply of fixed condensed aerosol extinguishing medium to extinguish fire.

MSC/Circ.1270

RINA Type Approval Certifcate MSC/Circ.1270 

Type approval is a procedure for the approval of the product design, including drawing appraisal and prototype test performance, for compliance with classification or Flag Administration requirements. It basically implies that the design of the product is assessed once and the approval is made valid for all subsequent products of identical design.
