Compliance overview
Scope and applicability
This standard applies to cabinet heptafluoropropane gas fire extinguishing equipment and cabinet carbon dioxide gas fire extinguishing equipment stored in high-pressure form. It is not applicable to cabinet carbon dioxide gas fire extinguishing equipment stored in low-pressure form. Manufacturers of fire protection systems for industrial and commercial facilities must ensure their products comply with these mandatory requirements.
Technical requirements
The standard specifies comprehensive requirements for the composition, performance, and safety of cabinet gas fire extinguishing equipment. Key technical parameters include working temperature ranges, storage pressure, and maximum filling density. The equipment must support automatic, manual, and optionally mechanical emergency startup modes. Manufacturers must ensure the equipment features clear warning signs and reliable linkage performance. It also details requirements for critical components such as cylinder assemblies, container valves, safety relief devices, and low-leakage high-seal valves. Furthermore, the standard introduces new requirements for concentration distribution performance and a status monitoring and data application platform.
Testing methods
The standard outlines a rigorous testing protocol to verify compliance. Key evaluations include hydraulic strength tests, air tightness tests, and vibration tests to ensure structural integrity. Engineers must conduct concentration distribution tests to confirm the equipment can extinguish open flames within 30 seconds after discharge. Additional assessments cover corrosion resistance (salt spray, stress, sulfur dioxide), temperature cycling leakage, and impact resistance for accidental discharge protection devices. Performance tests for pressure displays, weighing devices, and signal feedback devices are also mandated.
FAQs
What products are regulated under GB 16670-2025?
GB 16670-2025 regulates cabinet heptafluoropropane gas fire extinguishing equipment and high-pressure stored cabinet carbon dioxide gas fire extinguishing equipment. It excludes low-pressure stored CO2 systems.
Are there any updates from the previous version of GB 16670?
Yes, compared to GB 16670-2006, this version adds requirements for warning signs, concentration distribution performance, and a status monitoring and data application platform. It also introduces new testing methods for accidental discharge protection devices and low-leakage high-seal valves.
Does GB 16670-2025 reference other standards?
Yes, it extensively references GB 25972-2024 for gas fire extinguishing systems and components, as well as GB 18614 for heptafluoropropane agents and GB 4396 for carbon dioxide agents.
