scope:

This standard encompasses the design and performance requirements for oxygen reduction systems. This standard does not include requirements for the installation, application and maintenance of oxygen reduction systems.

Oxygen reduction systems may use membranes or pressure swing adsorption, including vacuum pressure swing adsorption, as the nitrogen separation mechanism. Other technologies may be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

This standard is intended to verify that the product described will meet stated conditions of performance, safety and quality useful to the ends of property conservation.

Purpose

This standard states testing and certification requirements for oxygen reduction systems for use as fire prevention systems.

Testing and certification criteria may include, but are not limited to, component, system performance requirements, marking requirements, examination of manufacturing facility(ies), audit of quality assurance procedures, and a surveillance program.
