Unsuitable Risks

Kidde IGS shall not be used to extinguish fires in:
•

Chemicals containing their own supply of oxygen and which are capable of rapid oxidation

in the absence of air, such as cellulose nitrate or gunpowder

•

Mixtures containing oxidizing materials, such as sodium chlorate or sodium nitrate

•

Chemicals capable of undergoing auto thermal decomposition, such as some organic per-

oxides and hydrazine

•

Reactive metals, such as sodium, potassium, magnesium, titanium, and zirconium

•

Reactive hydrides, or metal amides, some which may react violently with a gaseous extin-

guishant

•

Flammable gas fires such as methane

All of the materials listed above could potentially create the risk of an explosion in a fire.

1-1.3

Fire Class Table

Different standards have different fire classifications. The table below outlines the classifica-

tions for fires based on the various standards.

LOAEL (Lowest Observed Adverse Effects Level) is the lowest concentration at which an

adverse toxicological or physiological effect has been observed in humans. For Kidde IGS

Agents this value is 52%, corresponding to a residual Oxygen concentration of 10% (sea level

equivalent). The human exposure limit is 3 minutes for oxygen level between 10% - 12%.

Note:

The definition of the LOAEL for inert agents differs to that for chemical agents. For inert

gases the LOAEL is based on asphyxiation, the health concern in this instance being the

lowered oxygen concentration.

NOAEL (No Observed Adverse Effects Level) is the highest concentration at which no adverse

toxicological or physiological effect has been observed in humans. For Kidde IGS agents this

value is 43%, corresponding to a residual Oxygen concentration of 12% (sea level equivalent).

The human exposure limit is 5 minutes for oxygen levels of 12% and above.

1-1.4

Technical Limitation

There are, in principle, no technical limitations to Kidde IGS. However, the size of the system

is limited by the space available for storage of the Agent cylinders. Large systems may require

more space in comparison to other solutions. However there is no restriction with regard to

positioning the cylinders horizontally or vertically.
