1 General provisions
1.0.1 This specification is formulated in order to reasonably design the heptafluoropropane foam extinguishing system, thus ensuring its construction quality and use function, reducing fire hazards and protecting personal and property safety.
1.0.2 This specification is applicable to the heptafluoropropane foam extinguishing system installed in vertical flammable liquid storage tanks.
1.0.3 In addition to this specification, the design, construction, acceptance, maintenance and management of heptafluoropropane foam extinguishing system shall also meet the requirements of current relevant national standards.
