Standards, Certifications & Class Approval
Review the available standards and approval information relevant to the product. Actual certification, material traceability, inspection and classification requirements depend on the product type, intended application and purchasing specification.
| Applicable Standards & Certification | Typically designed and installed to SOLAS Chapter II-2, the IMO Fire Safety Systems (FSS) Code and applicable flag-state requirements. ISO 15371 and IMO MSC.1/Circ.1318 may apply to marine fixed CO2 systems and maintenance. |

| Class Approval | System approval is project- and vessel-specific and may be issued by DNV, ABS, Lloyd's Register, Bureau Veritas, ClassNK or another recognized classification society. Approval depends on design, components, installation and flag-state acceptance. |
Installation, Maintenance & Safety Information
| Installation Notes | Install only from approved drawings using qualified marine fire-system personnel. Verify cylinder quantity, piping pressure rating, nozzle locations, space integrity, ventilation shutdowns, alarms, release delays and remote controls before commissioning. |
|---|---|
| Maintenance Tips | Inspect cylinders, valves, piping, nozzles, alarms, release mechanisms and interlocks according to the approved maintenance schedule. Check cylinder pressure and weigh or test cylinders as required by manufacturer, class and statutory regulations. |
| Safety Notes | CO2 is colorless and lethal by oxygen displacement. Evacuate and seal the protected space before discharge, prevent re-entry until atmosphere testing confirms safety, and secure release controls during maintenance. Only trained personnel may operate or service the system. |
