BS ISO 15371:2009 Ships and marine technology. Fire-extinguishing systems for protection of galley cooking equipment

BS ISO 15371 provides the marine industry with a means for evaluating the effectiveness of fire-extinguishing systems for a variety of grease-laden cooking appliances that may be found in a galley. BS ISO 15371 is also referenced by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS).

BS ISO 15371 applies to the design, testing, and operation of pre-engineered fire extinguishing systems to protect the galley hoods, ducts, fryers and other grease-laden appliances.

BS ISO 15371 also provides minimum requirements for the testing and evaluation of components.
