Users should know about the limited application of perfluorucarbons and before the decision to use it they should perform the following measures:
(i) perform evaluation of expected conditions of the final use
(ii) perform evaluation of expected conditions of the final use
(iii) determine that the time of people being in the premises can serve as an obstacle of using other fire-extinguishing reagents.
Documentation for these measures should be available.
Documentation for these measures should be available.
Perfluorucarbons have high GWP and continuous life in the atmosphere. Real contribution to the global warming depends on the quantity of perfluorucarbons vented into the atmosphere.
Additional instructions on application in the fields where PFC can be used, are included into the final rules dated March 18, 1994 (59 FR 13044).
Checking and training application should comply with the safety rules. The reagent should be extracted from the fire-extinguishing system in the process of checking or servicing and either regenerated for further use or utilized. |
