BS EN 12094-5:2006

What is BS EN 12094-5 – Requirements and test methods for high and low pressure selector valves and their actuators about?

BS EN 12094-5 discusses components for gas extinguishing systems. The aim of the BS EN 12094 series is to ensure the correct operation of gas extinguishing systems by providing the manufacturer with the best industry requirements and test methods to avoid any hazardous situation. BS EN 12094-5 is the fifth of the part of the BS EN 12094 series of standards that specifies requirements and describes test methods for selector valves and their actuators used in CO2 -, Inert Gas- or Halocarbon gas fire extinguishing systems.

Who is BS EN 12094-5 - Requirements and test methods for high and low pressure selector valves and their actuators for?

BS EN 12094-5 on gas extinguishing systems is useful for:

• Gas extinguishing systems manufacturers
• Gas extinguishing systems installers
• Gas extinguishing systems suppliers
• Valves and actuators manufactures
• Quality control department
• Safety departments
• National Fire Protection Association

Why should you use BS EN 12094-5 - Requirements and test methods for high and low pressure selector valves and their actuators?

A gas extinguishing system is a fire extinguishing system that extinguishes fire with the help of a gaseous extinguishing agent either through oxygen displacement (reduction of oxygen content) or physical effects (heat extraction). To prevent hazardous situation it is necessary that gas extinguishing systems and their accessories are designed and built according to technical standards.

BS EN 12094-5 provides you with functional requirements and test methods that can be followed while manufacturing valves and their actuators. This will ensure that gas extinguishing systems operate appropriately and are reliable preventing serious injuries while operating gas extinguishing systems.
