This Standard sets out minimum requirements and recommendations for the design, installation and commissioning of water mist fire protection systems and describes the characteristics of the various types of water mist systems and the types of fire for which they are a suitable control, extinguishing or suppression medium.
The performance of water mist systems is highly dependent on the characteristics of the water mist droplets and the means used to generate and distribute those droplets. Accordingly, this Standard does not provide definitive fire performance criteria on an ‘application rate’ or ‘density’ basis.
