Fire in ordinary combustible materials, such as wood, cloth, paper, rubber, and many plastics.
Fire in flammable liquids, oils, greases, tars, oil-base paints, lacquers, and flammable gases.
Fire that involves energized electrical equipment where the electrical resistivity of the
the extinguishing media is of importance.

3-4 Design Concentration Requirements.


3-4.2.1 The flame extinguishing concentration for Class B fuels shall be determined by the cup burner method
described in Appendix B.
3-4.2.2 The flame extinguishing concentration for Class A fuels shall be determined by test as part of a
listing program. As a minimum, the listing program shall conform to UL 2127, Standard for Inert Gas
Clean Agent Extinguishing System Units, or UL 2166, Standard for Halocarbon Clean Agent Extinguishing
System Units, or equivalent.
3-4.2.3 The minimum design concentration for a Class B fuel hazard or an only manually actuated system
shall be the extinguishing concentration, as determined in 3-4.2.1, times a safety factor of 1.3.
3-4.2.4 The minimum design concentration for a Class A surface fire hazard shall be the extinguishing
concentration as determined in 3-4.2.2, times a safety factor of 1.2.
3-4.2.5 Minimum design concentration for Class C hazards shall be at least that for Class A surface fire.
