HALOGENATED HYDRACARBONS
This Malaysian Standard specifies requirements for the following halogenated hydrocarbons for
use as fire extinguishing media:
(a) halon 1211 [bromochlorodifluoromethane (CF2CIBr)]:
(b) halon 1301 [bromotrifluoromethane (CF3Br)].
Other halons may be considered at a later date once their safe and effective use has been
demonstrated. -
This Malaysian Standard does not deal with the conditions of use of these products in fire
fighting equipment. Such equipment (portable fire extinguishers, fixed installations, etc,) will be
dealt with in future International Standards.
