If fires can only survive when there is oxygen to fuel them, removing it from the air is an effective way to ensure that the environment remains fire-free. Oxygen reduction systems (ORS) do that by creating atmospheres where there is not enough oxygen for a fire to break out, but enough for humans to breathe easily.<\/p>\n<p>However, installing such systems can be a complex business, and requires in-depth knowledge of the space being protected, how it is used and by whom.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, there are various national standards and technical guidelines in place, mainly in Europe, but what has been missing is an internationally agreed set of requirements for quality, safety and performance that everyone can use.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.iso.org\/obp\/ui\/#iso:std:iso:20338:ed-1:v1:en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>ISO\u00a020338<\/strong><\/a>,\u00a0Oxygen reduction systems for fire prevention\u00a0\u2014\u00a0Design, installation, planning and maintenance,\u00a0specifies minimum requirements and defines the specifications for the design, installation and maintenance of fixed oxygen reduction systems.
