This document specifies the requirements for flame arresters that prevent flame transmission when explosive gas-air or vapour-air mixtures are present. It establishes uniform principles for the classification, basic construction and information for use, including the marking of flame arresters, and specifies test methods to verify the safety requirements and determine safe limits of use. This document is applicable to pressures ranging from 80 kPa to 160 kPa and temperatures ranging from -20 °C to +200 °C. This document does not apply to the following: - external safety-related measurement and control equipment that might be required to keep the operational conditions within the established safe limits; - flame arresters used for explosive mixtures of vapours and gases, which tend to self-decompose (for example, acetylene) or which are chemically unstable; - flame arresters used for carbon disulfide, due to its special properties; - flame arresters whose intended use is for mixtures other than gas-air or vapour-air mixtures (for example, higher oxygen-nitrogen ratio, chlorine as oxidant); - flame arrester test procedures for reciprocating internal combustion engines; - fast acting valves, extinguishing systems and other explosion isolating systems; - Flame arresters used in gas detectors (those being covered for example, by IEC 60079‑29‑1 and IEC 62990‑1). This edition cancels and replaces ISO 16852:2016, which has been technically revised. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to ISO 16852:2016: a) adaptation of the relevant IEC TC 31 requirements on standards; b) modification of the upper limit of the temperature range from 150 °C to 200 °C under the condition that T0 shall be not larger than 80 % of the auto ignition temperature of the gas-air-mixture; c) change of the term "explosion group" to "equipment group" due to editorial requirements in IEC/TC 31; d) clarification of the conditions and requirements for flame arresters whose intended operating conditions are outside the atmospheric conditions in 7.3.4 and 7.3.5; e) clarification of the requirements on the information for use in Clause 12 f) concerning the burn time; f) addition of a permission to the construction requirements both in 7.1 and 14.1 to substitute visual inspection by performing a flow test; g) addition of a flow chart for the evaluation of test results as Annex D

This document specifies a test method for determining the fire resistance of smoke extraction ducts. It is applicable only to smoke extraction ducts that pass through another fire compartment apart from the compartment from where smoke needs to be extracted in case of fire. It represents fire exposure of a fully developed fire.
This method of test is only applicable to fire resistant ventilation ducts (same construction) with the following classification according to EN 13501-3:
-   fire from inside and outside i ↔ o;
-   applicable to a pressure difference up to 500 Pa in fire conditions;
NOTE 1   It is assumed that the duct A test(s) in accordance with EN 1366-1 has been performed with an under-pressure of minimum 500 Pa.
-   with integrity (E) and insulation (I) criteria equal to or higher than the intended classification for the smoke extraction duct.
For the purposes of the test described in this document, the duct is referred to as duct C.
This test method has been designed to cover both vertical and horizontal smoke extraction ducts. A vertical system need not be evaluated to this method provided that:
-   both horizontal (ho) and vertical (ve) classification according to EN 13501-3 has been obtained for the ventilation duct;
-   it has been tested in a horizontal orientation to this method.
If the ventilation duct in practise is only used for vertical applications in smoke extraction systems, only vertical (ve) classification is obtained in accordance with EN 13501-3 and tested only in a vertical orientation to this test method.
This test method is suitable for ducts constructed from non-combustible materials (class A1 and A2-s1, d0 according to EN 13501-1).
NOTE 2   Reaction with components of the duct can affect the oxygen concentration inside the duct leading to inaccurate calculation of the leakage rate. If it is determined this has happened refer to Annex D.
This document applies to four sided rectangular and circular ducts only (with fire exposure on all sides). Ducts that utilize elements of construction for one, two or three sides are not covered. An alternative test method for one, two and three sided ducts will be developed separately.

This document does not apply to the following: - external safety-related measurement and control equipment that might be required to keep the operational conditions within the established safe limits; - flame arresters used for explosive mixtures of vapours and gases, which tend to self-decompose (for example, acetylene) or which are chemically unstable; - flame arresters used for carbon disulfide, due to its special properties; - flame arresters whose intended use is for mixtures other than gas-air or vapour-air mixtures (for example, higher oxygen-nitrogen ratio, chlorine as oxidant); - flame arrester test procedures for reciprocating internal combustion engines; - fast acting valves, extinguishing systems and other explosion isolating systems; - Flame arresters used in gas detectors (those being covered for example, by IEC 60079‑29‑1 and IEC 62990‑1). This edition cancels and replaces ISO 16852:2016, which has been technically revised. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to ISO 16852:2016: a) adaptation of the relevant IEC TC 31 requirements on standards; b) modification of the upper limit of the temperature range from 150 °C to 200 °C under the condition that T0 shall be not larger than 80 % of the auto ignition temperature of the gas-air-mixture; c) change of the term "explosion group" to "equipment group" due to editorial requirements in IEC/TC 31; d) clarification of the conditions and requirements for flame arresters whose intended operating conditions are outside the atmospheric conditions in 7.3.4 and 7.3.5; e) clarification of the requirements on the information for use in Clause 12 f) concerning the burn time; f) addition of a permission to the construction requirements both in 7.1 and 14.1 to substitute visual inspection by performing a flow test; g) addition of a flow chart for the evaluation of test results as Annex D

This document provides specific requirements for gaseous fire-extinguishing systems with respect to the Halocarbon Blend 55 extinguishant. It includes details of physical properties, specification, usage and safety aspects. It also covers systems operating at nominal pressures of 25 bar, 35 bar, and 42 bar and 50 bar, superpressurized with nitrogen. This document does not preclude the use of other systems.
NOTE   1 bar = 0,1 MPa = 105 Pa; 1 MPa = 1 N/mm2.

This document specifies requirements and test methods for materials, construction and performance of components intended for use in powder firefighting systems complying with EN 12416-2:2001+A1:2007.
The components covered are as follows:
-   powder containers;
-   expellant gas container assemblies;
-   pressure regulators and gauges;
-   actuators;
-   main isolating valves and selector valves;
-   nozzles.
The components are suitable for powder firefighting systems for general use in buildings and other construction works. In areas with a risk of explosion, earthquake zones, extreme environmental conditions, e.g. marine, offshore, mining or aircraft additional considerations apply.
This document covers components for use in powder extinguishing systems complying with EN 12416-2:2001+A1:2007. It does not cover, for example, pipes and fittings which are covered by more general standards for which requirements and recommendations are given in EN 12416-2:2001+A1:2007. Nor does it cover fire detectors or electrical control and indicating equipment.

This document specifies requirements for earthquake protection of automatic sprinkler systems in accordance with EN 12845:2015+A1:2019.
This document applies only to locations in earthquake zones in accordance with EN 1998-1:2004, 3.2.1 and the Nationally Determined Parameters.
NOTE   The requirements in this document are based on the principle that certain peak ground acceleration values are considered as an earthquake which require special means. Attention is drawn to EN 1998-1:2004, where a peak ground acceleration above 0,08 g (0,78 m/s2) is considered an earthquake risk. Additional characteristics, NDP and/or NCI can exist in some countries as well as national annexes.
The principles defined in this document can be applicable to other water based fixed manual or automatic fire fighting systems, according to local requirements.
