Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - Is aircraft fire safety possible without halon 1211?

Notas: Sumario: Will new agents replace halon 1211 in portable fire extinguishers used on board aircraft? Halon 1211 has been the agent of choice for the protection of aircraft and passengers from fires arising in the cabin or cockpit. The Montreal Protocol has meant the production of halon ceased in the developed world from 1 January 1994. The challenge for the aviation authorities is to ensure that the aviation industry is fully informed of all the issues concerning the continued use of halon, and that the environmental legislators understand the needs of aviation and the potential serious safety implications if halon were withdrawn from use without alternatives having been developed. They must also assist the industry in the search for acceptable alternatives by ensuring that practicable methods of certificating alternative agents and systems are developedRegistros relacionados: En: Fire prevention. - London. - nº 295, December 1996 ; p. 20-22Materia / lugar / evento: Seguridad contra incendios Sistemas de extinción Aviones Extintores Halón 1211 Títulos secundarios: Título: Fire prevention
