This European Standard specifies requirements and test methods for materials; construction and performance of components intended for use in powder firefighting systems complying with prEN 12416-2:2000. The components covered are as follows: powder containers; expellant gas container assemblies; pressure regulators and gauges; actuators; main isolating valves and selector valves; nozzles. The components are suitable for powder firefighting systems for general use in buildings and other construction works. In areas with a risk of explosion; earthquake zones; extreme environmental conditions e. g. marine; offshore; mining or aircraft additional considerations apply.This standard covers components for use in powder extinguishing systems complying with prEN 12416-2:2000. It does not cover; for example; pipes and fittings which are covered by more general standards for which requirements and recommendations are given in prEN 12416-2:2000. Nor does it cover fire detectors or electrical control and indicating equipment.
