Installations and equipment for liquefied natural gas - Testing of foam concentrates designed for generation of medium and high expansion foam and of extinguishing powders used on liquefied natural gas fires
This European Standard specifies the tests to be carried out in order to assess the suitability of foam concentrates used to produce medium expansion foam (made from foam concentrates conforming to prEN 1568-1) or high expansion foam (made from foam concentrates conforming to prEN 1568-2) and fire extinguishing powder conforming to EN 615 when used alone or in combination on liquefied natural gas (LNG) fires. This standard does not specify the general requirements for foam concentrates given in prEN 1568-1 and prEN 1568-2 or fire extinguishing powder given in EN 615.

Overview
EN 12065:1997 (CEN) sets out the testing requirements for foam concentrates and fire extinguishing powders intended for use on liquefied natural gas (LNG) fires. The standard specifies the tests to be carried out to assess the suitability of foam concentrates for producing medium expansion foam (from foam concentrates conforming to prEN 1568-1) and high expansion foam (from foam concentrates conforming to prEN 1568-2), as well as extinguishing powders conforming to EN 615, when used alone or in combination on LNG fires. EN 12065:1997 focuses on performance testing for LNG fire suppression; it does not replace the general product requirements given in prEN 1568-1/prEN 1568-2 or EN 615.
Key Topics
- Scope of testing: Defines which foam concentrates and powders are subject to LNG-specific suitability tests.
- Types of foam: Differentiates between medium expansion foam and high expansion foam and their intended use on LNG incidents.
- Combined use: Covers evaluation when foam concentrates and powders are used alone or in combination for LNG fire control.
- Performance assessment: Specifies the tests to determine extinguishing effectiveness, foam stability and behavior on LNG spills (standard defines test objectives; refer to the text for exact procedures).
- Limitations: Clarifies that EN 12065:1997 is a testing standard and does not specify raw product composition or manufacturing quality requirements (those are in the referenced prENs and EN 615).
Applications
- Product qualification and type-approval of foam concentrates and extinguishing powders for LNG facilities.
- Procurement specifications for terminals, LNG carriers, storage sites and gas-processing facilities.
- Performance benchmarking by manufacturers and independent test laboratories for LNG fire suppression solutions.
- Input into emergency response planning and fire-fighting system design where medium and high expansion foam or powders are considered.
- Regulatory and safety compliance checks for equipment and extinguishing agents intended for liquefied natural gas fires.
Who should use this standard
- Foam and powder manufacturers seeking LNG application approval.
- Independent testing laboratories performing performance evaluations.
- Fire safety engineers, LNG terminal operators and emergency responders specifying suppression systems.
- Procurement and compliance teams in the energy and maritime sectors.
