Early detection of fire in an electrical switchboard or rooms carrying power distribution, substations, electrical equipment or industrial controls may be necessary in certain circumstances. There are a number of specialised fire detection options for these environments for the very early detection of a fire or a fire suppression system in the event of a flaming fire.
A gas storage container in AS1851 has the same meaning as a gas cylinder or pressure vessel and is used as part of a gaseous or pre-engineered fire suppression system. The Standard requires gas storage containers to be tested every 10 years from the date of the cylinder manufacture or the date from the first fill.
