Scope

GB 16670-2025 is the English-translated version of 柜式气体灭火装置.

China's mandatory national standard for cabinet gas fire extinguishing equipment. A cabinet unit is a self-contained pre-engineered system: the agent cylinder, the valve, the nozzle and the control are all built into a single enclosure that stands in the room it protects, so no distribution pipework is designed or installed on site. That is what makes it the practical choice for small protected volumes - a server room, a switchroom, an archive - where designing a piped system would cost more than the room is worth. The trade is that everything must be settled at manufacture rather than by the installing engineer: the agent quantity, the discharge time and the nozzle coverage are fixed to a stated protected volume, and using the unit outside that volume voids the protection. The standard specifies the requirements, the discharge performance and the tests for such equipment.

Foreword

This document is in accordance with the provisions of GB/T 1.1-2020 "Guidelines for standardization work Part

1.Structure and drafting rules for standardization documents" Drafting. This document replaces GB 16670-2006 Cabinet-type gas fire extinguishing equipment. Compared with GB 16670-2006, except for structural adjustments and editorial In addition to the modifications, the main technical changes are as follows:

a) The model compilation method has been changed (see Chapter 4, Chapter 4 of the.2006 edition);

b) Modified some performance parameters in Table 1 (see Table 1, Table 1 of the.2006 edition);

c) Added the requirements for warning signs for fire extinguishing devices (see 5.1.2.4);

d) Added concentration distribution performance requirements and test methods (see

e) Added fire extinguishing device status monitoring and data application platform functional requirements and test methods (see 5.1.8, 6.8);

f) Fire extinguishing requirements have been deleted (see

5.7 of the.2006 edition);

g) Added the requirements for the number of fire extinguishing agent cylinders (see 5.2.2), and the requirements and test methods for accidental discharge protection devices (see

5.2.5 and 6.14);

h) Added gas cylinder design, manufacturing, inspection requirements (see 5.2.7.3), color and marking requirements (see 5.2.7.5);

i) Deleted the requirements for vessel strength, sealing, and overpressure (see

5.9.6 of the.2006 edition);

1 Scope

China's mandatory national standard for cabinet gas fire extinguishing equipment. A cabinet unit is a self-contained pre-engineered system: the agent cylinder, the valve, the nozzle and the control are all built into a single enclosure that stands in the room it protects, so no distribution pipework is designed or installed on site. That is what makes it the practical choice for small protected volumes - a server room, a switchroom, an archive - where designing a piped system would cost more than the room is worth. The trade is that everything must be settled at manufacture rather than by the installing engineer: the agent quantity, the discharge time and the nozzle coverage are fixed to a stated protected volume, and using the unit outside that volume voids the protection. The standard specifies the requirements, the discharge performance and the tests for such equipment.

This document defines the terms and definitions of cabinet type gas fire extinguishing devices (hereinafter referred to as "fire extinguishing devices"), and specifies the The requirements, inspection rules, marking, packaging, transportation, storage, instruction manual and filling of fire extinguishing agents are described, and the corresponding test methods are described. This document applies to cabinet-type heptafluoropropane gas fire extinguishing equipment and cabinet-type carbon dioxide gas fire extinguishing equipment stored in high-pressure form. This document does not apply to cabinet-type carbon dioxide gas fire extinguishing devices stored in low-pressure form.
