The 2015 NFPA 12 provides the latest in carbon dioxide fire extinguishing systems for safe and efficient design, installation, and maintenance.

Up-to-date with code references and new information in NFPA 3 on commissioning, the 2015 NFPA 12: Standard on Carbon Dioxide Extinguishing Systems presents today's consensus-based rules for the installation and maintenance of CO2 extinguishing systems. Coverage in NFPA 12 addresses total flooding systems, local application systems, hand hose line systems, standpipe systems, and mobile supplies for the full range of systems used for industrial and marine fire protection.

NFPA 12 is essential for fire protection designers and installers, engineers, facility managers, and inspectors:

• A new system acceptance test report complies with NFPA 3: Commissioning of Fire Protection and Life Safety Systems, so building owners and their representatives responsible for commissioning will be prepared
• Other changes reflect updated referenced codes and standards

Recent updates make this edition of the Standard important for anyone whose job involves carbon dioxide fire extinguishing system purchasing, design, installation, testing, inspection, approval, listing, operation, or maintenance.
